Stupid carriers and their specific versions of popular devices. We always have to wait an extra week (best case scenario) or more to get the same update folks with unlocked smartphones or tablets got. Verizon’s Xoom is one of those devices that still waits to get the proper treatment. Sure, unlike the Wi-Fi only Xoom,…
Not sure that many folks dig Toshiba’s tablets, but then again – I may be wrong. We gotta give it to the Japanese company for their super-thin (7.7mm) AT200 model (aka Excite X10) that makes the iPad and many other Android tablets feel too bulky. And now this handsome device is available in the UK,…
Asus knows it can’t joke with Transformer Prime users as they are ready to share both the good and the bad things about the company’s flagship tablet.

If you bought the Kindle Fire as a media tablet, you’ll be happy to know that the video-watching experience should be getting much better as Amazon has inked a deal with Viacom to bolster its Prime Instant Video service.

These 4G LTE-enabled tablets will be used throughout the Suns’ operation. This will include workers…

It comes with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, 2-megapixel front-facing one, 3G (EV-DO Rev. A) and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, while Android 3.2…
HTC Flyer is now available for 234.99 GBP, which translates into about $372. Sure it used to be available for less (199 GBP), but that was at a short period after Christmas when all prices go south. Now if you want a nicely designed 7-inch tablet, the Flyer is a decent option. However, I would…
AT&T is adding another tablet to its portfolio – Huawei MediaPad, which is already available in the U.S. as T-Mobile Springboard. Unfortunately, the device AT&T is selling comes with Honeycomb (rather than Ice Cream Sandwich) on board, though we’re sure Android 4.0 update will be released shortly. Moreover, the press release doesn’t mention multiple color…
During CES this past January, tablets certainly weren’t in short supply. With the introduction of tablets like the Transformer Prime with the NVIDIA Tegra 3, the new trend will likely make quad-core all the rage.
