RIM’s Blackberry Tablet might be seven inches, feature dual cameras and 1GHz CPU?

Admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 16:27:00 +0000

The rumor mill’s been churning out quite the picture of RIM’s Blackberry tablet over the past several months, and it’s a research analyst who’s most recently picked up the brush — Ashok Kumar of Rodman & Renshaw, to be precise, who anticipates a 7-inch touchscreen device with a 1GHz processor, plus front- and back-facing cameras for video chat. Since that’s a good 1.9 inches smaller than the slate rumored a couple months back, this latest spiel fills us with doubt… but hey, it’s not like we had confirmation that RIM was even producing such a device, anyhow.

How would you change the Archos 7 Home Tablet?

Admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:02:00 +0000

Archos has been a player in the PMP market for a few centuries now (a rough estimate, anyway), and to say that the universe was jazzed at the mere thought of a 7-inch tablet for under $200 would be understating things dramatically. We found more things wrong with the Archos 7 Home Tablet than we could’ve ever imagined going in, but still, for under two C-notes, we have to believe that a few of you flipped on the blinders and made the purchase anyway

Okoro’s GX series HTPCs ship with SSD, USB 3.0, Core i7 and… an iPad?

Admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 06:06:00 +0000

Yeah, it’s true — Okoro Media Systems is shamelessly hopping on the tablet PC bandwagon, and it’s actually bundling an iPad with each GX series HTPC in order to give customers an elegant way to control their multi-zone audio setup (or whatever else you feel like controlling).

Amazon Kindle dual-screen e-reader patent granted, Barnes & Noble Nook potentially in trouble

Admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:04:00 +0000

Looks like the battle for e-reader dominance between Amazon and Barnes & Noble could soon expand beyond the recent spate of price drops and into the courtroom as well: the USPTO just granted a 2006 Amazon patent on e-readers with secondary LCD displays (like the original Kindle’s scroller-navigation panel ), and several of the claims are potentially broad enough to cover the Nook and many other devices with both electronic paper and LCD displays. What’s more, Amazon agreed not to file for any corresponding foreign patents during the four-year approval process and thus wasn’t required to publish the patent application — meaning this is likely a complete surprise to the entire industry

Prototype car with tactile feedback challenges the blind to drive (update)

Admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 08:59:00 +0000

We can already imagine just what you’re thinking — the blind have no place behind the wheel, right? As it turns out, though, cars can steer themselves these days , so there technically no reason why (save a few laws) a computer-assisted blind person couldn’t drive.

We don’t blame you if you missed this the first time round , but HP’s ePrint service is probably best seen in action anyway.

1&1′s 7-inch SmartPad is the most unlikely Android tablet you’ll ever see

Admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:44:00 +0000

We knew at Computex that tablets were on track to completely take over the world, but now it’s official: a German internet provider has just revealed that it’ll soon be offering a branded tablet PC of its own. You heard right — a German ISP is making a tablet. The delightfully named SmartPad is a 7-inch, touchscreen-based slate that’ll eventually support Android 2.2 (v1.6 will be pre-installed), and there’s also inbuilt WiFi and an optional 3G module for those looking to “stay connected.” It seems as if the company is still hammering out the final specifications, but we are told to expect an SD card reader (2GB will be included), a USB socket, a 500MHz ARM11 processor, 256MB of RAM and a proprietary app store that’ll undoubtedly enrage you

Did Nokia just confirm a MeeGo tablet?

Admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 08:21:00 +0000

We’ve heard the rumors, hell, we’ve even seen Intel reference designs (pictured) running the MeeGo OS. But now we seem to have confirmation that a proper MeeGo tablet built by Nokia is on the way. Anssi Vanjoki , Nokia’s newly crowned chief of Mobile Solutions, said the following in an interview captured by the Wall Street Journal : Due to the spread of cloud computing and new advances in electronics and network technology, mobile devices will increasingly move beyond smartphones to include other computer-like gadgets such as tablets, and the MeeGo platform will be an important asset for Nokia
