Barnes & Noble launches Nook Tablet, lights a fire under Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAmazonBarnes & NobleNOOK Tablet
Yep, we had a feeling this one was coming. As expected, bookstore mega-chain Barnes & Noble has launched its answer to Amazon's Kindle Fire (and to a lesser extent, Kobo's multimedia Vox slate) -- also as expected, the thing looks an awful lot like its predecessor, the recently discounted Nook Color, right down to the metal bar on the bottom corner. Granted, B&N did already make the leap into the tablet space, when the Nook Color was upgraded earlier this year -- but the Nook Tablet brings more than just a new name, of course.

Huawei Mediapad Android tablet outed for UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHuaweiMediaPad
Chinese manufactuer Huawei is set to launch a new tablet and smartphone into the market this week, both sporting an Android OS.
The Huawei Mediapad, originally launched in the US in June, comes with Android 3.2 Honeycomb has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor from Qualcomm, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, rear-facing 5MP camera and HDMI port.
The screen is said to be 7-inches, is capacitive and uses IPS (In-Plane Switching).
Battery life is a passable six hours and expect it to feature the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Documents to Go pre-installed.
We're sad to have to say it seems the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the tablet won't be coming any time soon, as the UK release date for the Honeycomb-t...

Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus coming to T-Mobile on November 16
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungT-MobileGalaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
The Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus is an Android tablet that we are already familiar with. Announced a little over a month ago, the slate is meant to succeed the old-school GALAXY Tab, which brought the 7-inch tablet form factor to the mainstream. However, what we didn't know so far was whether any major carrier would be willing to add the 7.0 Plus to its lineup, but some light has just been shed on that matter as well.
T-Mobile just announced that it is going to offer the Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus beginning November 16. The tablet will be available for $249 after rebate and will come along with a 2-year Value Mobile Broadband plan attached to it.
So, what exactly do you get for your money? W...

HTC to launch unique new tablet next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
HTC may launch a new tablet next year that it hopes will be distinct in a growing sea of Android tablets, Reuters recently reported. HTC already has a number of Android-powered tablets on the market including the 7-inch Flyer (EVO View 4G on Sprint) and the AT&T Jetstream 4G. “[The] tablet is a market we would like to try and test, to see whether we can make ourselves stand out and prevent a me-too product,” HTC CEO Peter Chou said in a recent media briefing. The company could make itself stand-out a bit by being the first to market with an Ice Cream Sandwich device, possibly pre-loaded with HTC’s unique Sense UI. Its Flyer Android tablet was loaded with HTC’s Sense user interface but it lau...

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessGALAXY NexusXOOM 2XOOM 2 Media Edition
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...

HP gives webOS developers a chance to get a $150 TouchPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
The future of webOS may still be up in the air, but it looks like HP is at least still making a small effort to woo developers and keep its current ones in the fold. It's now giving registered devs in the US, Canada and Europe a chance to get a 32GB HP TouchPad for the blowout price of $150 (or €150 in Europe), for a limited time and while supplies last. Unfortunately, it's not clear how many TouchPads will be available, but HP is allowing applicants to request up to two TouchPads each at the discounted price, so we'd assume it's more than just a handful. Those interested will have to file their request before November 18th, and if they're accepted they'll receive a coupon that must be redee...

Acer Iconia Tab A200 pictures leaked online
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAcerICONIA TAB A200-10g08u
This is the first we've seen of the Acer Iconia Tab A200, an as yet unannounced Android Honeycomb tablet that's come to light thanks to a brief post on the Bluetooth SIG website. Unfortunately, the leak is extremely short on details — in fact there are almost none to speak of, except that it'll have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and will be available worldwide. And yes, that's as big as the picture gets. There is some information online, most notably from a thread on XDA Developers which describes it as a "low-cost" Iconia Tab A500. Their data pegs it as having a rear camera, Dolby Mobile, new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts, and running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Our review of the A500 called it one of...

Amiga Xpedio 7MTB tablet costs $98, $118 with option USB keyboard and case
Like UnlikeFiled in: Tablets
Amiga tablets are made for folks who prefer nostalgia over features. The company that owns the famous brand is now selling an array of Android-based tablets, one of which has been announced recently. It’s called Amiga Xpedio 7MTB and it’s made for folks who don’t want to spend a small fortune on their tablet purchase. Quite the contrary, this baby is available for $98 or $118 with the USB keyboard/case accessory.
Needless to say, you shouldn’t expect iPad-like specs from the Xpedio 7MTB. It comes with a 720Mhz processor, 7-inch screen, Wi-Fi connectivity support, 4GB of built-in storage, while Android 2.2 Froyo is running the show.

HP Slate 2 Tablet PC is no TouchPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPSlate 2 A6M61AASlate 2 A6M62AA
HP has announced a brand spanking new tablet. But don't get all excited thinking it's a follow up to the much derided, but evidently much loved, TouchPad. Nope, it's back to business with the Windows 7 running HP Slate 2.
Back in 2010, long before Samsung dropped the original Galaxy Tab and when the only Honeycomb you knew of was inside a Crunchie bar, the gap between the iPad's release and the first wave of genuine rivals was dominated by rumours of a "killer" HP tab.
That tab turned out to be, disappointingly we have to say, the Slate 500 which was suited, booted and aimed squarely at the office space.
The Slate 2 picks up where its older brother left off, and you could be forgiven for thi...

Nokia CEO hints at possible Windows 8 tablet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsMicrosoftNOKIAWindows 8
While discussing his intentions to expand Nokia’s presence in the United States, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop recently made comments that suggest his company could have a Windows 8 tablet in the pipeline. “There’s a new tablet opportunity coming,” Elop told Bloomberg in a recent interview. “We see the opportunity. Unquestionably, that will change the dynamics [of the market].” Elop described Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system as a “supercharged” version of its Windows Phone operating system, implying a hint of interest in using the OS on a tablet. The two operating systems share a user interface called “Metro UI.” Nokia recently announced its first two Windows Phone devices, the Lumia 710 and ...

Next iPad to launch in March, 'real' iPad 3 coming in Q3 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
Apple is preparing to launch a slightly upgraded iPad 2 in March of 2012, DigiTimes reported on Thursday. The new iPad is rumored to be thinner and is said to offer better battery life than the current model. It is unclear what Apple will call the device launching in March, but the company reportedly has plans to launch a “real” iPad 3 during the third quarter of 2012. Samsung, Sharp and LG are said to be working on a new Retina Display for the next-generation iPad, which may also pack a faster A6 processor, but rumors of manufacturing issues have suggested it may take Apple longer than originally planned to introduce a model with that equipment. A report last month from Ticonderoga Securiti...

Apple says Kindle Fire is actually good for them
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleAmazonKindle Fire
When the Amazon Kindle Fire was announced a couple of weeks ago carrying a price tag of only $200, for the first time we thought that the iPad really has gotten some competition.
The Kindle Fire is smaller at 7 inches, but offers a dual-core processor and a heavily modified Android that make it desirable.
Now, you might expect Apple to be challenged, but CFO Peter Oppenheimer actually said the Fire was good for the iPad. How come? Here's what Barclays published based on an interview with Oppenheimer:
“While the pricing at $199 looks disruptive for what seems to be the iPad’s most important rising challenge, the Amazon Fire – it is important to note that it could fuel further fragmentation ...

HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTCT-MobileFlyer
US Cellular's got one and so does Sprint (albeit under a re-branded banner). So, where's the Magenta-friendly HTC Flyer we saw creep up at the FCC this June? Well, it appears T-Mobile's been offering it for some time to business customers only, but that exclusivity's come to a close. The 7-inch Gingerbread slate with AWS bands is curiously absent from the operator's own online site, but you can still snag it from HTC for $299 with a new mobile broadband plan or $454 with a contract extension. Sadly, neither party's tossing in the HTC Scribe pen gratis, so you'll have to make due with your own digits for navigating or just pick it up separately. If this is the Sense-laden variant you've been ...
