One year ago today, the Apple iPad was unveiled by Steve Jobs at an Apple press event. After several months of waiting and non-stop speculation, the tablet device made its debut in early April of 2010. After a rocky start plagued by shortages, sales of the iPad began to take off in the middle of…
I had my doubts about the Samsung Galaxy Tab when it was first announced last year, and ultimately when it launched in the fall, but it seems that two million folks worldwide thought differently. According to Yonhap News, Samsung managed to sell over two million of its Android tablets all over the globe. Of course,…
This shouldn’t come as a shock to many people who’ve been staying up with the news cycle, but Samsung will bet announcing the Galaxy S 2 and the Galaxy Tab 2 at Mobile World Congress next month. Apparently Samsung lost track of a copy of their schedule for the event, and it found itself in…
We had caught a glimpse of the OtterBox case for RIM’s first tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook, but a crisp render of the full product has slipped out, and it looks pretty sweet.

“The Daily” is supposed to be an iPad-only digital newspaper from News Corp and CEO Rupert Murdoch said it will be launching within two weeks for 99 cents per week.

First off, let’s give Notion Ink a big welcome to the world of Android. With Adam tablets actually shipping now (and bricking themselves after updates), Notion Ink probably never even thought about someone taking their precious Eden UI and porting it to another tablet. Well, that’s exactly what has happened. You can now install the…
RBC Capital Markets did a survey of some 1000-odd consumers at CES, where 6% said they were likely to buy a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
