NVIDIA Kai: $199 Android tablets coming soon

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang previously mentioned that more Tegra 3-powered tablets would be coming to the market this summer, starting at the low price of $199. At the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting last week, vice president Rob Csonger revealed Kai, a plan to democratize its quad-core Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip. NVIDIA is looking to offer tablets that are more powerful than Amazon’s Kindle Fire, but that will be offered at the same low price point. “Our strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we’ve developed called Kai,” he said. “S...

AMD to Push Out Power Friendly Processors for Windows 8 Tablets

AMD to Push Out Power Friendly Processors for Windows 8 Tablets

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

It hasn't been much of an ARM wrestle in the tablet space up to this point, and it's not because AMD and Intel haven't talked the talk. For the most part, they just haven't walked the walk, which has allowed ARM to dominate the category. That could change once Windows 8 comes into view in a few months, and if Microsoft's upcoming Metro infused OS proves popular on touchscreen tablets, you can expect a dogfight between AMD and Intel.

Update for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 makes the device more stable

Update for Asus Transformer Pad TF300 makes the device more stable

Posted on May 21, 2012 by MG1

A minor software update for the Asus Transformer Pad TF300, which was disseminated to some tablets on Friday, is now being sent out to the remaining owners of the device. As an OTA update, it should be easy to install. The new software version is 9.4.3.29 and the Wi-Fi and camera versions get a bump up as well, giving you some idea of where to look for improvements. One build that doesn't change is the Android OS which remains at 4.0.3.
According to Android Central, the official word is that the update brings more stability to the device (imagine if we could make people more stable with a minor update). Asus says that the update is not yet on the TF30 Firmware page which means you will need ...

Amazon Kindle Fire with ads on the horizon

Amazon Kindle Fire with ads on the horizon

Posted on May 21, 2012 by MG1

Amazon is reportedly meeting with advertisers to pitch the idea of welcome screen ads on its popular Kindle Fire tablet. The retail giant is asking $600,000 for prime placement on the slate, according to a report from AdAge. Amazon currently offers its entire range of Kindle eReaders with advertisements that appear on the devices’ screen savers. Customers who opt to purchase a Kindle with ads enjoy discounts of between $30 and $50 off the purchase price of the devices; if Amazon carries the same model over to its Kindle Fire, the end-user cost of the tablet could drop by as much as 25% to $149. Following an explosive launch quarter that saw Amazon’s Kindle Fire take an estimated 14% of the g...

Google Nexus tablet tipped in Samsung codes

Google Nexus tablet tipped in Samsung codes

Posted on May 15, 2012 by MG1

There’s a whole new wave of evidence this week being revealed by none other than Google that points toward them working with Samsung on the next Android Nexus tablet. A Nexus device, for those of you that do not know, is a device that works with Google’s Android in its most basic “vanilla” iteration, and with the evidence we’re seeing today, we may be looking at a Samsung tablet released this summer as the next step. This next Nexus tablet will be the first tablet actually branded as “Nexus” but will be the second released in close collaboration with Google made to show off the next big version of Android, the first being the Motorola XOOM tablet which showed off Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 now allows post-iPad 2 devices to downgrade to an older firmware

Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 now allows post-iPad 2 devices to downgrade to an older firmware

Posted on May 14, 2012 by MG1

Per usual, the Dev-Team whiz-kids have been hard at work trying to make your jailbroken iOS life a tad bit easier. This time around, MuscleNerd & Co. have outed their latest revision of RedSn0w (0.9.11b1), allowing folks using the new iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S to downgrade to lower firmwares for jailbreaking purposes -- a feature others have been enjoying for some time now. As expected, you'd still need those saved SHSH blobs from the previous firmware in order to do so, and if your device depends on an unofficial unlock, it's recommended (with a few exceptions) to steer clear since this method will upgrade your baseband. Speaking of, the Dev-Team also notes you should stick with an earlier...

Tablet shipments up 200 percent as netbook demand tanks

Tablet shipments up 200 percent as netbook demand tanks

Posted on May 04, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: Tablets

Tablet shipments soared 200 percent over the past years, according to research company Canalys, but Apple didn't ship enough iPads in Q1 to retain the No. 1 position for the most client PCs shipped. The distinction went to HP, which has bounced back from a rocky 2011, spurred in part by an improving global economy that helped push notebook shipments up by 11 percent and desktop shipments up by 8 percent.
The future of netbooks, meanwhile, doesn't look particularly bright. Shipments for that breed of computing hardware were down 34 percent year over year, marking the sixth successive quarterly decline.
"Most of the leading PC vendors have done a reasonable job of offsetting the declines in th...

Amazon Appstore offers Draw Something for Amazon Kindle Fire

Amazon Appstore offers Draw Something for Amazon Kindle Fire

Posted on Apr 27, 2012 by MG1

The hottest mobile game around is not Angry Birds and is not even Words With Friends. The most popular game is Draw Something, the Pictionary-esque game that has so much momentum that it was the reason that Zynga paid $180 million (plus $30 million in employee retention bonuses) to buy Draw Something's developer OMGPOP. The problem for Amazon Kindle Fire users was that the game has not been available in the Amazon Appstore. Since we earlier told you that half of all Android tablet sales belong to the low-priced Amazon Kindle Fire, that meant that half of all Android tablet users were missing out on the game that was the number one free app, number one paid app and number one game in 80 count...

There’s certainly nothing new about a keyboard case for the iPad. In fact, not too long ago Logitech unveiled its own similar product called the Ultrathin Keyboard Cover. We’ve already reviewed the product and found it to be very nice. A new product has turned up on Kickstarter called the Brydge and at least to my eyes it’s a much more attractive and interesting product.

Sony releases Android 4.0 update for Tablet S

Posted on Apr 27, 2012 by MG3

Sony has just announced that the Android 4.0 update for its Tablet S is now available and should be rolling out to owners —j ust connect your Tablet S to Wi-Fi and you should be prompted for a system update. It's good to see Sony living up to its word and delivering this update when it said it would, though we're still waiting for the Tablet P to receive its Ice Cream Sandwich update. To go along with this update, Sony's offering the Tablet S at a bit of a discount — if you buy between now and May 12th, you'll receive $50 as well as a free cradle accessory. This puts the Tablet S at $349 for the 16GB model, and while it isn't the best Android tablet we've ever used, the infusion of Ice Cream...
