Lenovo launches 11.6-inch ThinkPad x121e for Europe, the Japanese market
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksLenovoThinkPad x121e
It's a curious thing about consumer electronics: they often disappear as fast as they hit shelves. That's kind of what happened with Lenovo's ThinkPad x120e: months after our glowing review, it vanished from the company's online store, never to return. (You can still find it through Amazon and other retailers.) And though it remains MIA, Lenovo did just unveil the 11.6-inch ThinkPad x121e for Europe and the Japanese market -- a clear preview of what's on the horizon for us Yanks. This time around, it packs an Intel Core i3-2357 CPU, an AMD Fusion E-350 chip, or a Fusion C-50 APU. Other specs include a 1366 x 768 panel, up to 320GB in HDD storage (or a 128GB solid-state drive), HDMI and VGA o...

Toshiba has outed its latest 3D laptop, the Qosmio F750 3D, the first to offer glasses-free 3D.

64GB and 4G HP TouchPads landing in August according to leaked roadmap
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHPTouchPad
According to a purported roadmap image obtained by PreCentral, HP will introduce a new 64GB version of its TouchPad this August alongside a 4G model on AT&T. The 64GB model will apparently offer a “glossy white” finish and could come equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that’s clocked at 1.5GHz. AT&T’s 4G TouchPad is expected to come in a black finish and will offer support for the carrier’s HSPA+ network, but will maintain the 32GB capacity of the Wi-Fi model that launched last week. While early reports suggested that HP’s new 7-inch TouchPad, codenamed “Opal,” would launch in August, PreCentral says the tablet is expected to launch in the fall instead.

JailbreakMe 3.0 now live, setting your iPad 2 free
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
iPad 2 owners can now enjoy the freedom of the easiest way to jailbreak their tablet, JailbreakMe 3.0. The tool, developed by @comex, works without the need to connect your iDevice to a computer – you just navigate to www.jailbreakme.com and install everything from there.
This way of jailbreaking differs from others like redsn0w and Pwnage Tool as it doesn't use the limera1n exploit, but rather works with a userland epxloit. It's also nearly completely safe – you can however mess up your device after you get root access. Jailbreakme is easily reversible by means of an iTunes restore and if you ever wondered whether it's legal stateside, you can rest assured that it is as the Library of Cong...

Apple may be shipping 5 million iPad 2s in July alone
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Some leaked information from part suppliers for the Apple iPad 2 suggest that 5 million touch panels have been ordered by Apple in an effort to ramp up production and strengthen their grip on the still young tablet market.
There are multiple companies that are responsible for supplying these touch panels. Wintek and TPK handle the heaviest load and it is believed they shipped between 1.4 and 1.6 million panels just last month. To meet the demands of Apple they will need to step their game up as well as the smaller suppliers such as the company Cando, amongst others.
It is also possible these touch panels could be designated for the rumored LTE-capable iPad that many believe we will see at ...

Toshiba Thrive makes an early arrival at some BestBuy stores
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksToshibaTHRiVE
The Toshiba Thrive has been up for pre-order for several weeks now, and we are sure that some of you have already taken advantage of the offer. However, if you simply do not have the patience to wait until the 10-inch tablet is ready to leave the warehouse, your nearest BestBuy store may have the Thrive in stock already.
According to numerous reports, Toshiba's Honeycomb-powered slate can be purchased at a number of BestBuy outlets. Our quick check showed that BestBuy does not have the tablet available online at this time, and neither does any other online retailer, for that matter. The bad part, though, is that the Thrive is retailing at about $50 more than what you would paid if you were t...

Apple manufacturing partners may build 5 million iPad 2 units in July
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Apple’s manufacturing partners are slated to build 5 million iPad 2 units in July alone, DigiTimes reports. The new claim follows an earlier report stating Apple will ship between 12 million and 14 million iPad 2 tablets in the third quarter of 2011, doubling the Cupertino-based technology giant’s second-quarter shipment volume. DigiTimes claims Cando, Sintek Photronic, Chimei Innolux, TPK Holding and Wintek will combine to supply 5 million touch sensors this month, matching the volume they reportedly filled in June. Apple’s iPad 2 remins one of the best-selling consumer electronics devices on the market, and Apple may launch an updated version of the tablet later this year according to rumo...

Intel's Wooing Companies Into Creating Ultra-Thin Ultrabooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
Running on Ivy Bridge, loaded with Thunderbolt ports and costing under $1,000, Intel's Ultrabook laptop segment is expected to be big news in late 2012—if you believe what Intel's saying, anyway. Digitimes claims Intel's attempting to lure 40 per cent of laptop manufacturers into creating Ultrabooks, but until Intel lowers the chip prices, it may not be possible. Asus is planning to launch its Ultrabook UX21 laptop this September however, so I'm sure all eyes will be on the lookout for the first Ultrabook's success.

Upcoming MacBook Airs to use 400Mbps flash storage?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleMacBook Air 13-inch Mid 2009MacBook Air unibody 11-inchMacBook Air unibody 13-inch
Japanese blog Macotakara.jp is reporting from parts makers in Asia that Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air refresh, expected in the next two weeks, will use super-speedy 400Mbps NAND flash storage chips. In addition to being incredibly fast — even faster that the current MacBook Air solution, which uses an mSATA connector to connect the SSD to the motherboard — these new NAND flash storage chips would be soldered directly to the motherboard, bypassing any connector. If true, this new change would result in 100-times performance increase over the current solution, and coupled with a rumored bump to i5 / i7 processors, the new MacBook Airs should absolutely fly.

FCC clears Sharp's Galapagos 7-inch Android tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSHARP
Sharp is looking to enter the overhyped tablet market with its own product. The rumor says it that the Japanese company will launch not one but few tablets, all of which will rely on the Android platform.
Now we have FCC to confirm there is some merit in these stories, with a 7-inch tablet called “Galapagos” getting the Commission’s seal of approval. Yep this means the device is ready to be introduced on the U.S. soil, though it doesn’t mean that will happen soon. Quite the contrary, we’ve been seeing quite a few mobile products that were never introduced in the U.S. and then some which were not launched anywhere in the world. We’re hoping that won’t be the case here and that soon enough we’...

Leaked iPad 2 jailbreak available now? (updated: better wait)
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 2
Can't say it happened at Mach 3, but the iPad 2 jailbreak that we saw teased back in mid-March seems to have made its way out into the wild at long last. According to the video hosted up just past the break, JailbreakMe 3.0 is now available with support for the iPad 2. It's bruited that the version making its way around now was leaked by a beta tester (read: it ain't the final build), and we're seeing mixed success / failure stories in the related YouTube comments. We'd encourage the daring to tap the links below in order to get started, and if you do, let us know how it all works out below. Per usual, you'd be doing yourself a solid by fully syncing and backing things up before diving off t...

Parts suppliers detail timing for iPhone 5, iPad 3
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesAppleiPhone 4siPad 3
Taiwan-based companies that are part of the supply chain for the Apple iPhone 5 and the Apple iPad 3 have begun to prepare materials for the production of the two devices. Apple plans to launch just one new iPhone model this time. Meanwhile, the iPad 3 has just recently been added to the production schedule. Both will be produced in small volumes in August, with units ramping up in September and October, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes.
Most market watchers have estimated that Apple's iPhone supply volume will only reach 20 million units in the third quarter and iPad's supply volume will only be at around 11 million to 12 million units due to the slower-than-expected progres...

The device is set to go on sale sometime in July, but limited pre-orders are kicking off today
The Vizio Tablet is designed for multimedia consumption and to work as a super remote control, especially compatible with Vizio TVs of course. But, its IR sensor makes it work just fine with any TV or entertainment device in your living room. It features an 8-inch 4:3 ratio screen with a 1024 x 768 resolution, stereo speakers, front-facing webcam, and HDMI-out.
