Google tablet - 7-inch device in the works?

Google tablet - 7-inch device in the works?

Posted on Feb 27, 2012 by MG3

Google will jump into the tablet market this year with its own 7-inch device, according to a DisplaySearch analyst.
The tablet market has experienced rapid growth over the past couple of years thanks to devices such as the iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Kindle Fire and it looks as though Google wants in on that cake, with its Ice Cream Sandwich operating system providing it with a good starting point.
Speaking to Cnet, analyst Richard Shim suggested that a self-branded, 7-inch (1280x800) Google tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich would start production in April.

Verizon DROID XYBOARD 8.2 and 10.1 official

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

Verizon has made the DROID XYBOARD Android tablets official, the 4G LTE versions of Motorola’s XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition slates. The 10.1-inch and 8.2-inch tablets each have a 1280 x 800 IPS display, 5-megapixel main camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, along with WiFi a/b/g/n and that all important EVDO Rev.A/LTE.

In The US, Xoom 2 Will Be Droid Xyboard

In The US, Xoom 2 Will Be Droid Xyboard

Posted on Dec 05, 2011 by MG1

Motorola is planning to nix the "Xoom" name for its next ambitious Android tablet project.
The company's newest Verizon-powered 4G LTE tablet will not be called the Xoom 2 as had been expected. Instead, the company came up with the name "Droid XyBoard."
There are a couple reasons why the name change makes sense. First of all, the Xoom hasn't made nearly the kind of splash Motorola and Verizon were expecting. Instead, it has just sort of fallen into the generic group of Android tablets.
Second, if there's one name in the Android universe that almost everyone knows, it's "Droid." We were frankly quite surprised when the original Xoom was announced and did not carry the Droid moniker, which is ...

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets

Posted on Nov 08, 2011 by MG1

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is going to hit shelves a lot sooner then we all thought. A leaked Verizon road map suggests a November 21 “web only” launch date for the next big Android handset. This news comes after reports first suggested a launch on the 10th then that date switched to a Nov. 17 launch. Rumor after rumor seems to come almost daily, as Verizon keeps pushing the actual release date all over the place.
Maybe this Nov. 21 date sticks, especially since it happens to be on the same week as Black Friday and the release of the Droid Razr according to the road map. It would be a smart move for America’s largest carrier to release one of the most anticipated phones of the ye...

Motorola XOOM 2 appears in U.K. ad as something for under the tree

Posted on Nov 02, 2011 by MG1

Over in the U.K., Carphone Warehouse is giving tech fans there visions of sugarplums and tablets under the tree for this coming Christmas.

Motorola XOOM 2 appears in Verizon system with LTE

Motorola XOOM 2 appears in Verizon system with LTE

Posted on Oct 28, 2011 by MG1

It appears as though Motorola doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice as a screenshot of the Verizon inventory system shows the unannounced XOOM 2 tablet with 4G LTE connectivity built-in and internal memory capacities up to 64GB.
The original Motorola XOOM only had access to Verizon’s 3G network and was sold with the promise that users could send it in to Motorola in the future to upgrade the device. This hardware upgrade was to make it compatible with LTE. However it took much longer than many owners would’ve liked. When the LTE upgrade was finally made available, the XOOM was already heading towards obsolete status.
Shipping the original XOOM without LTE out of the box was a mistake...

Motorola RAZR says hi to FCC with AT&T radios on board; Motorola XOOM 2 also visits?

Motorola RAZR says hi to FCC with AT&T radios on board; Motorola XOOM 2 also visits?

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola RAZR has made it past the FCC and inside it carried radios tuned to AT&T's frequencies. But before you AT&T customers start getting excited, the frequencies are also used by many Canadian carriers and it is expected that the Motorola RAZR will be heading across the border after it is launched by Verizon. The shared bands are GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA Bands II/V for 3G.
No one is ruling out an AT&T variant of the Motorola DROID RAZR as it would make sense for the Schaumberg based company to spread its flagship phone to as many carriers as possible. This is the MO that Samsung has used quite well with its Galaxy line of smartphones. Of course, AT&T has not uttered a word yet and nei...

Motorola Spyder and Xoom 2 turn up in more leaked shots

Motorola Spyder and Xoom 2 turn up in more leaked shots

Posted on Oct 12, 2011 by MG1

We've already seen Motorola's new Xoom 2 tablet(s) and Spyder smartphone (otherwise known as the Droid HD) turn up in a few leaked shots, and we've now received a handful more that are said to show both devices in their near final form. That includes a Verizon logo on both the front and back of the Spyder for the first time (though that's not exactly unexpected), and the Xoom 2 (the 8.2-inch version in this case) is said to be in "better shape" than the earlier prototypes, which had apparently been suffering from some rather serious bugs. As you can see above, the Spyder also has what appears to be a slightly more tactile back, which could well be the Kevlar coating that's been rumored for t...

Official press shots of the AT&T ATRIX 2 and its brand new Laptop Dock 100 accessory were spilled recently, as were details on an unannounced Motorola Spyder smartphone and two models of the XOOM 2 tablet.

Motorola Xoom 2 tablets get snapped again

Motorola Xoom 2 tablets get snapped again

Posted on Sep 26, 2011 by MG1

The recently-snapped Motorola Xoom 2 has now enjoyed a thorough photo-shoot, with the new pictures revealing a second slate and more of its buttons.
No need to squint with these shots, with the anonymous photographer obviously au fait with focusing a camera.
The shots show off the tablets' various buttons in all their glory – the volume slider and what is likely the power/screen lock button are mounted on the curved edge of the slate towards the back.
There's also a camera with LED flash and a sticker announcing the models' code names, with both coming under the Fleming sobriquet and purported to support LTE connectivity.
The next-gen Xooms also come with 8.2-inch screens and seems to be ver...

Motorola XOOM 2 to be iPad-2-thin, first with Adobe Flash 11 and Netflix HD streaming onboard

Motorola XOOM 2 to be iPad-2-thin, first with Adobe Flash 11 and Netflix HD streaming onboard

Posted on Sep 26, 2011 by MG3

More details have been spilled about the upcoming second edition of the Google's tablet OS poster child, the Motorola XOOM. Dubbed simply the XOOM 2, the tablet is supposed to have a 9mm thick chassis. While not the thinnest out there, this slim built is just a hair north of the anorexic iPad 2, so no complaints in the looks department.

Motorola Xoom WiFi price cut to $499 - Slow sales or Xoom 2 coming?

Motorola Xoom WiFi price cut to $499 - Slow sales or Xoom 2 coming?

Posted on Jul 07, 2011 by MG1

The price of the Motorola Xoom WiFi has been cut seemingly everywhere, no longer making Costco the go-to place for the first Honeycomb tablet. You can now grab the Xoom for only $499 in most places and even cheaper at Staples.
The Motorola Store, Amazon, and Staples now carry the tablet for the new $499 price point and the latter has a coupon code that will shave off an extra $50 from the overall price (51758). It took Moto long enough to bring the tablet’s pricing down but we’re wondering if it’s whether the competition is besting the Xoom, or if the price cut is a sign of things to come.
