Root 101 plans to be the most open-source and affordable Android powered tablet, currently vouching users for crowd-funding via Indiegogo. The tablet will feature a completely stock version of Android Jelly Bean 4.2 (with promise to deliver 'latest and greatest' updates as early as possible) with no bloatware, no skins, and with full root access. While the good, clean Android build does wonders for both performance and battery life, the makers have also allowed for easy flashing of custom ROM's for non-technical users.

The $169 tablet will offer an experience similar to Google Nexus with it's 10.1” IPS HD (1280 x 800) multi-touch capacitive screen, AmLogic Dual Core 1.5GHz CPU, Dual Core Mali-400 GPU with 1080P video, 1GB RAM, 16GB Internal Storage, MicroSD Slot, WiFi, Front and Rear Camera, Micro USB Port and Mini HDMI slot – output up to 1080P to TV.

In the past HideIPVPN has made some great promotions with us of their famous VPN service. Blog readers were able to get Free VPN accounts that allowed them to freely access sites in US and UK (Netflix, Hulu, BBC and more) or anonymously use torrents and P2P. Right now HideIPVPN has told us about brand new service they have just started – SmartDNS.

SmartDNS, unlike VPN is not hiding or changing your IP in order to get you round geo restricted sites but it is redirecting your traffic to selected sites via SmartProxy servers. This way with very simple setup (tutorials are available at HideIPVPN site) you can get the likes of Netflix, ITV, HULU, FOX, NBC, Pandora, Spotify and many, many more on almost any device. Even devices without VPN support built in can benefit from SmartDNS service.

Simply change DNS servers address on your devices and register your IP (it acts as login) with HideIPVPN and surf the web with no delays or even without thinking if site you want to open is in US or UK. HideIPVPN will do it for you! Remember, unlike VPN SmartDNS will not make you anonymous in the internet. This service is solely designed for all streaming services.
