Apple is reported to be recalling a few shipments of the Verizon iPad 2, some of which have already been ordered by customers online.

Telefónica thinks there’s money to be made in the Spanish tablet market. Hence they’ve teamed-up with ZTE to launch the low-cost ZTE Light Pro, offering it for free to anyone who agrees to commit on a two-year contract.

You may remember that Samsung announced its first 10.1-inch Android tablet at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Then in March, a new slimmer model was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Tab 8.9.

ViewSonic is expanding its tablet line with a new product – ViewBook 730, an Android 2.2-running 7-inch tablet. Aside from a small-ish (resistive?) WVGA screen (depending how you look at it), the device also comes with an ARM Cortex-A8 1Ghz processor, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth support, front-facing VGA camera (for video calls), 8GB of built-in storage…
We’re still a while away before we’ll see Windows 8 land in a retail tablet but a new rumor suggests that Microsoft may be one of the first companies to release one, as the software giant may be preparing to build its own Windows 8 tablet to battle the iPad and Android devices. The report…
A term that’s been flying around a lot since the iPad 2 launch has been “post-PC era,” referring to how tablets and smartphones are replacing desktop and laptop computers.
