ViewSonic ViewPad 7x will be available in Europe for 349 EUR
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsViewSonicViewPad 7x
ViewSonic’s ViewPad 7x, the 7-inch Android tablet that was announced back in May, is heading to Europe where it will be available for 350 EUR, which is pretty affordable by Europe’s standards (gadgets cost much less in the U.S.). That money gets you a device that’s pretty comparable with the Acer Iconia Tab A100, rocking NVidia’s Tegra 2 dual-core processor, Android 3.2 and a 1024×600 pixels, 10-point multi-touch display. In addition, it also comes with dual cameras (one on the back and a front-facing one), Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and other “standard for an Android tablet” goodies.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftWindows 8
Two apps are already well under development for Windows 8 tablets, ZDNet has found. Microsoft isn't expected to unveil any technical info and software development kits for the tablets until its Build conference, but that hasn't stopped USA Today and Jetstream software from planning their own apps for the devices.

Microsoft gesture patents reveal possible dual-screen tablet focus
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMicrosoft
Earlier this year, we heard a slew of whispers promising a late winter launch for Microsoft's Windows 8 tablets -- there was even mention of a tab-specific OS. While it's become clear that Redmond intends for its new operating system to run on multiple devices, insight into its tablet plans are still somewhat shrouded in mystery. From the looks of these gesture patents, however, it's clear MS has been eyeing a dual-screen tablet future (hello Courier).

Iris transparent tablet concept, augmented reality meets scanning
Like UnlikeFiled in: Tablets
Here’s a really neat tablet concept that combines a transparent screen with augmented reality capabilities and a scanner. The different ways in which a tablet of this combination can be used seems endless, from purely scanning documents to translating text while hovering over a page to being an easy augmented reality navigation tool.

Apple patent application imagines iPhones that learn the sweet sound of your voice
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesPortable Media PlayersTabletsApple
Button-loathing Apple really wants people to stop dirtying its devices with sticky fingerprints. That's why it's applied for a patent that should improve the frustrating experience of using iOS's voice control -- precisely the kind of update we've been awaiting since Apple bought Siri last year. With the help of a technology billed as "User profiling for voice input processing," your device would identify your voice, check against a library of words associated with you without having to trawl through its entire dictionary. We just hope Apple doesn't do away with physical inputs entirely -- we'd hate to broadcast to the world all the guilty pleasures we have loaded on our iPods.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android tablet will come in LTE version
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
Samsung seems intent on offering a tablet in just about every size that consumers might want. It has the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab, a smaller 7-inch version and the 8.9-inch Tab crossed the FCC not long ago. We know that many of the tablets that are coming to market in the next few months will be packing LTE technology inside since LTE networks will be rolled out by several carriers. Word has surfaced that a LTE version of the 8.9-inch Galaxy Tab will be coming.
The LTE version will get a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and will run Android 3.2 for the operating system. The Tab 8.9 will also feature a 3MP camera, a 1280 x 800 resolution 8.9-inch screen, and will weigh 455g. The tablet will be 8.6mm t...

Humorous drawing of an HP TouchPad pops up for sale on eBay, bids skyrocket
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
If you haven't come across any wacky stories from the web lately, here is one that will likely put a smile on your face. Apparently, somebody came up with the crazy idea of drawing an HP TouchPad on a piece of paper and put it up for sale on eBay, presumably to see what would happen and to have some fun along the way. However, we doubt that the artist was really expecting to see the price of his artwork skyrocketing to the heights where it stands right now.
$90,100 is the current bid for the crude drawing of an HP TouchPad with another 6 days remaining until the auction ends. We wonder, however, whether these have not been falsely generated just to make the prank even spicier. The real deal...

Asus emerging as an Android tablet winner, reports $124 million net earnings
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUS
In a clear sign that it pays to be innovative, Asus reported a 5% jump in net earnings for the April-June quarter, compared to Q1. The $124 million it took home contrast with Acer losing almost twice that amount, and calling sour grapes yesterday. Asus also reported almost 6% net profit margin, which is its best performance in nearly three years.
The neat performance Asus attributed to steady motherboard, and better than expected notebook and tablet sales. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has been one of the most popular Android tablets in the first full quarter with most major companies having Google-ified slates on the market. The target of Asus was shipping 300 000 tablets for the whole quar...
