Microsoft Ad Uses Siri to Diss Apple
Wherever your loyalties lie in the latest round of Mac vs. Windows (vs. Android), you can’t deny that Microsoft’s new Windows 8 tablet ad below is pretty clever. The TV spot completely glosses over any of the advantages of the iPad over the 64GB Asus tablet, while pointing out the lower cost, multitasking and other selling points of the Windows 8 slab. What’s genius about the ad is that it uses Apple’s own Siri (or well, a computer voice that sounds just like her) to point out the shortcomings of … Read more

HP SlateBook x2 announced as the first NVIDIA Tegra 4-powered tablet
The HP SlateBook x2, which was leaked before, is officially announced as the first NVIDIA Tegra 4-powered convertible tablet.

BlackBerry CEO suddenly thinks tablets should be easier to use
BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins made some odd comments about tablets today at the BlackBerry Live conference. They’re odd because just last month he seemingly would have disagreed with what he is now saying. “The industry got stuck on the term ‘tablets’,” Heins told CNET, before adding a stance for the company. “We want to create something that’s easier to use.” His plan is to make the tablet essentially a paper weight unless it’s paired with a mobile phone — in this case, a BlackBerry — to act as a brain. … Read more

As for generational video viewing habits, Millennials (born 1977-1994) tablet owners spent … Read more

Wi-Fi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 clears the FCC
Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy Tab 3 has been caught at the FCC as the company is preparing to start selling the tablet later this month. The unit government-paid engineers got to play with is a Wi-Fi only model that will only later be followed with 3G-enabled version. If you recall, the Galaxy Tab 3 is a low-to-mid range tablet with specs that include a 7-inch 1024×600 pixels screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 3-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one, 8 or 16 GB of internal storage, and a memory card slot if … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 in new colors coming in mid-June
The ever-savvy folks of SamMobile got a hint that in mid-June, Samsung will release Galaxy Note 8.0 in new color. More precisely, they’re saying that the 8-inch tablet will be launched in Brown Black during the week 25, which begins on June 17th. It is unclear which markets will be the first to get Sammy’s device in this color, but considering that SamMobile’s source is Samsung Benelux, we tend to think users all around Europe will be able to get the Note 8.0 by the end of the summer. This … Read more

LG Jumping Back Into The Tablet Market This Year? We Hope So
If you’ve been looking forward to another tablet offering by LG, you may just get your wish this year. While the LG Optimus Pad wasn’t much to write home about, let alone most tablets at the time, LG could be prepping a new device for a Q3 release this year. Like HTC, the LG Optimus Pad was the company’s one and only tablet. I’d personally be excited if LG decided to jump back into the tablet game this year. Not because of LG’s previous tablet, but because of LG’s more … Read more

Sony Xperia Z tablet headed to T-Mobile with FCC’s blessing
The Sony Xperia Z tablet just passed through FCC’s approval process and should now be on its way to T-Mobile. Usually in hardware that has cellular connectivity, many devices that are compatible with the carrier are also compatible with AT&T due to the similar band requirements. The Xperia Z tablet, however, just includes Band 4 which makes it pretty much exclusive to T-Mobile. Unless Sony makes a separate version with different network bands, once the Xperia Z makes its debut we’ll likely see it on T-Mo. The only task left … Read more
