Even if Windows 8 is still months away from the official launch and probably the first devices will arrive just in time for the 2012 Christmas I start to get a feeling Microsoft is starting to promote their next operating system stronger and stronger. After releasing the official requirements for Windows 8 tablets it's time now to take a look a the sensor support at OS level.In a long blog post (very interesting if you need more info) Microsoft details the kind of sensors Windows 8 will be a...

After debuting at CES 2012, tablets have started to get in line for the consumer launch, the one that really matters, as only then you're able to buy the model you like.Today I've found out about the pricing and availability of the Acer Iconia TAB A510, one of the company's quad-core models (the other being the Iconia A700). As a reminder, the A510 is basically an A700 minus the Full HD screen (1280 x 800 px instead of 1920 x 1080 px). Doesn't sound like much but I'm sure it's a huge differe...

It looks like gaming on tablets has started to become pretty sophisticated, with old titles like Grand Theft Auto III being ported to the new mobile platforms, since current tablets are capable of handling 5-6 years old titles pretty well.The latest title to get developer's attention is Counter Strike, a very popular multiplayer first person shooter a few years ago (I got lots of F grades by playing it in college). This is not an official version, like GTA III, but a port made by the guys at...

I know some of you are looking forward to the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime, an outstanding tablet, but there are lots of people who own the 1st gen Transformer TF101 from last year, one of the few successful Android tablets. And those consumers are waiting eagerly for the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software update, promised by ASUS at CES 2012.They said back then that the software update will follow soon after the one for the quad core Transformer Prime, but now it seems it got delayed...
