Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad
Apple is cutting orders for iPads by 25% - a drop which might affect the company’s Chinese contractors like Hon Hai the most, a JPMorgan Chase report states. Some supply-chain vendors have reported that Cupertino has cut orders for the tablet by 25% for the fourth quarter of the year. JPMorgan analysts noted that it’s the first cut they’ve seen for the iPad so far.

Leak: 10.1 inch and 8.2 inch second generation Motorola Xoom tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorola
Remember the Motorola Xoom, the fist Android Honeycomb tablet to hit the market? Don’t worry if you don’t. It was a horrible product, and pretty much every Android tablet after it, except for maybe the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer, has been equally as bad. It’s not that Android tablets are built poorly, it’s just Honeycomb is so … there’s no word to express the amount of disappointment we have for the obviously rushed OS Google put out there. On a lighter note, we’ve got some information to share about the successor to the Xoom, aptly called the Xoom 2.

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

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.

Amazon may unveil first tablet on September 28
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAmazon
Amazon has just sent out invitations for a press event taking place next Wednesday, September 28, in New York City. Since most such occasions are called for to unveil a major product launch, we can’t help but assume that this event is for the company’s first and long-rumored Android-based tablet dubbed the Amazon Kindle Tablet.
The much anticipated tablet has long been speculated to be an iPad-killer thanks to Amazon’s established ecosystem of services, price competitiveness, and strong distribution channel. However, the latest reports from analysts and industry folks who have been privileged with a limited preview of the slate say that it’s a 7-incher that’s more of a Barnes & Noble NOOK Co...

iPad 3, LTE iPhone promise 'monster' Apple earnings next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPad 3
Is Apple’s product pipeline too full of home runs to fail? The release of the iPhone 5, a second entry-level iPhone, the next iPad and even next year’s 4G LTE-powered iPhone will help Apple maintain its series of “monster” quarters according to Wedbush analyst Scott Sutherland. He expects Apple to ship 26 million iPhones during the first quarter of next year, up from 23 million during the first quarter of this year. New product launches are the special sauce to Apple’s success, Sutherland says. “While the iPhone 4 appears to be selling well due to existing market demand and new markets, we expect a bump up from the iPhone 5 this October, and a lower end iPhone geared towards emerging markets...

HP Store sells now TouchPad Accessories instead of Tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
If you got lucky and scored a $99 HP TouchPad in the past weeks than HP would like to sell you some TouchPad accessories now. HP features on the HP Store now an HP TouchPad Case, HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard and a cool HP Touchstone Charging Dock.
All three TouchPad accessories are discounted, but it is kind of funny that a charging station for a gadget costs 50% of the gadget price. The HP Store has removed the TouchPad tablet product pages yesterday. It is hard to say if this is a bad sign. HP had promised that they will sell TouchPads from a new production run on the HP Store.
A couple days ago we carried a report that HP employees get a chance to buy a $99 TouchPad on September 28 in th...

Huawei MediPad now available for pre-order in Singapore
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHuaweiMediaPad
It's here folks -- the planet's first Android 3.2 tablet. Huawei just introduced a downright luscious new slate over in Singapore, with CommunicAsia being the launchpad for the 7-inch MediaPad. It's the first high-profile 7-inch tablet we've seen in quite some time, and somehow or another, it's managed to leapfrog most of the currently shipping Honeycomb tablets with a build of Android we've only ever joked about. Huawei tells us that Honeycomb 3.2 is essentially the same as 3.1, but specifically tailored to 7-inch tablets as opposed to 10-inch. Packed within the MediaPad's 10.5mm shell, there's a 217 pixels-per-inch IPS capacitive touchpanel, GPS, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 5 megapi...

Best Buy shopper gets to take home the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 before the masses
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
An anonymous Best Buy shopper told Android Central about how he ended up taking home an un-released Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9. As we reported, that tablet is now up for pre-order at Best Buy. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Anyway, the subject of the story had purchased the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 from the big box retailer, but was disappointed to see that his tablet suffered from a manufacturing defect. So he decided to return the tablet from whence it came.
So far, there is nothing strange or unusual to the story. When the Best Buy rep inside the store took the defective GALAXY Tab 10.1 to the back room to exchange it with a new unit, he accidentally came out with a Samsung GALA...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 priced at $469.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
Are you looking for an Android tablet but don’t want to settle for the usual 7 and 10.1 inch varieties? Worry not, as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has received its official pricing for the US and should land on shelves very soon.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is just as powerful than its 10.1 inch brother, but ships with the obvious smaller display, and because of that we weren’t surprised to hear that the price of the 8.9 isn’t much cheaper than the 10 incher. Starting at $469.99, the Tab 8.9 is virtually identical to its larger variant but can be wielded in one hand and weighs only 447 grams. While it may not be as comfortable as holding a 7 inch tablet in one hand, the Tab 8.9 is much more manageable ...

Motorola's next Android tablet spotted, 7-inch display possible
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorola
Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha has noted his company’s intentions to launch a 7-inch tablet a number of times, and images of the device may have just broken cover. This is my next leaked a photo of a white tablet on Monday that, if compared to the size of the unknown phone in the background, appears to sport a 7-inch form factor. A Motorola Mobility logo is slightly visible on the top-left of the tablet and there are two I/O ports on the bottom, presumably microUSB and HDMI-out. It is possible this is an Android Honeycomb tablet, although that is still unconfirmed. It is also still unclear when the tablet will be announced, if ever, or what kind of hardware it packs under the hood.

$99 HP TouchPad Final Batch: HP Employees get first Dip on September 28
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
End of August HP announced that they are making more HP TouchPads and sell them for the $99 fire sale price. As soon as HP set the price of the HP TouchPad to $99.99 it was a hard to find item. Consumers have been willing to pay over $200 in the weeks since the fire sale began. Many are no waiting for the final HP TouchPad batch that HP has announced. The reason why HP is building more TouchPads and sell them at a loss is likely heaps of component inventory in the supply chain.
HP did not reveal an exact date when the new HP TouchPad tablets would go on sale on the HP Store, but today we got a hint thanks to a leaked internal HP email. TechCrunch reports that HP is offering the $99.99 HP Tou...
