We’ve known for quite some time now that NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor is the bee’s knees. It has found its way into dozens of Android smartphones and tablets, and for good reason, too: it powers the platform quite well. On the other hand, Intel’s Atom processor might be a shade behind. A video showing the…
I’m live here at the Uplinq conference and Nokia CEO Stephen Elop just got off stage and basically re-iterated what he’s been saying about why Nokia chose Windows Phone over Android. While we’ve heard this before, he did dedicate a segment to the tablet market and essentially said that we shouldn’t expect a Nokia tablet…
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners may be surprised when you turn the tablet on for the first time, as it will be running stock Android Honeycomb. Apparently the TouchWiz UX isn’t ready for prime time yet and it will come through a OTA update later. When we first got word about this, I thought Samsung…
Those of you drooling for what’s looking to be the next great Android Honeycomb tablet will be happy to hear Verizon has just gone official with their plans for a 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The tablet is going on pre-sale June 8 for a steep $529.99 on a two-year contract…
In the midst of a site redesign, Motorola accidentally showed off a bunch of upcoming products (or at least some pretty slick concept placeholders). Two phones, both super-skinny touchscreen slates were shown off, called the Zaha and Slimline. A sequel to Motorola’s Xoom tablet is also spotted vaguely in the background, but the real ostar…
Many have been waiting to see what Microsoft will be doing with its latest version of the Windows operating system and we just found out. Unsurprisingly, the demo shows a very Windows Phone-like UI that looks great, but apparently only for certain applications. The user interface looks like a radical change from the standard Windows…
Another stellar game available for Tegra 2 devices is Riptide GP, a jet ski racing game that features stunning graphics and some neat tricks along the way. The game itself may be $6.99, but you’re definitely paying for a quality game that’s sure to entertain. Riptide GP offers up multiple types of races from easy…
RIM has already gone on the record saying that we could expect BlackBerry tablets in varying sizes, and recently we’ve been handed a short list of what to expect in the next PlayBook. The next model, which should have a 10-inch screen rather than 7 like the original, will have 4G connectivity and Wi-Fi, but…
We are expecting Microsoft to show off its version of Windows for tablets and the company will reportedly be putting strict hardware requirements with this like it does with its Windows Phone 7 platform. The Microsoft Windows tablets are expected to be a touch-optimized version of Windows 8 or whatever it winds up being called.…
As it turns out, ViewSonic wasn’t the only one with a 7-inch Android 3.0 tablet yesterday at Computex. Alongside their 10-inch handset-eating Padfone, Asus was showing off the Ee Pad MeMO 3D, which also runs Honeycomb, but has the added bonus of sporting a 3D display with no glasses needed. This tablet’s been making the…
