Even if the first netbooks started off with a version of Linux in just a few years from launch more than 95% of the netbook OS market is dominated by Microsoft, with Windows XP and 7. In the tablets arena things are quite different, as the iPad OS (iOS) dominates cleary, followed by Android and Windows 7. Apparently Canonical, the company that has brought us Ubuntu is working on a special touch optimized version of their OS for tablets. The software development phase is unclear right now, but...

Remember my post about the best iPad games found on the Apple AppStore at this moment? Well the AppStore is also full of far more useful bits of software, the apps everyone downloads and uses to populate the virtual screens of their iPad. The AppStore is one of the strongest reasons to get an iPad or iPhone/iPod as a popular ad said "there's an app for that too", suggesting there are countless ways to extend the functionality of your Apple product by further downloading apps. It's clear that ...

Notion Ink Adam is one of the most awaited tablets of 2010, mostly because of its Pixel Qi screen that allows the device to function in two modes: normal LCD and eReader with backlight off, which reduces screen consumption to around 0.5 watts. Recently there were rumors about the device being delayed by manufacturing problems and lack of investors. Today the founder of Notion Ink announced that there are no problems (they have investors willing to finance up to 100.000 units produced every month...

Touch tables are still far off consumer living rooms thanks to the 'massive' price and still  early software options that could make a touch table usable for daily tasks. That doesn't mean that manufacturers are ignoring completely this small niche segment, as GestureTek just announced the GestTable, a 42 inch multi touch table with Full HD 1080p resolution. There's not much info about the GestTable, and that's a pity because I would have loved to get a quote on pricing of this mammoth. Anyw...

It's no longer a mystery that tablets are 'the' consumer device of 2012, one of the fastest growing trends to date, but some are interested in numbers, not just suppositions, that's why Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Hubert has predicted that by 2012 tablets will outsell netbooks in numbers. Part of this success lies in the fact that the iPad is one of the fastest selling mobile devices of all times, with anticipated sales of 38.9 millions units in the first two years since launch. Take a look a...

We've talked about Pixel Qi dual mode screen a wile ago, highlighting its extraordinary characteristics: normal LCD mode and low power eReader mode when viewed outdoors. It seems that Pixel Qi has some production problems, meaning they can't find a factory to manufacture their displays. Another competitor, this time a traditional display manufacturer, has managed to build a prototype similar to Pixel Qi, called CPT transflexive display, one that can operate at 50% the power requirements of curre...

Sony and cheap are two words that don't fare well together, as the Japanese manufacturer is perceived as a premium brand. That's not true for all their products, and the latest all-in-one touchscreen desktop, the VAIO J series proves this, with a starting point of only 900$. That's not cheap for a desktop but is inexpensive for a 22 inch full HD monitor (actually 21.5 inches) with touchscreen and integrated desktop hardware inside, hardware which is capable of running multimedia apps with eas...

We've briefly presented you the MSI Wind Pad 100 tablet, announced officially by MSI at Computex 2010, a 'classic' Windows 7 tablet powered by netbook hardware. A French website managed to get a few press photos with it, showing more details than we've seen last week. As expected specs remained the same, Wind Pad 100 is a 10 inch tablet (1024 x 600 pixels, no 1366 x 768 for you guys), with an Atom Z530 CPU, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI output (capable of Full HD 1080p) and an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipse...

Apple is clearly the tech company of the year with the launch of the iPad, thus starting the touch tablet mania. Today they've outdone themselves with the launch of the 4th generation iPhone, called iPhone 4 (clearly the next one will be called iPhone 4S or iPhone 4G, if AT&T upgrades itself to 4G till then). Usually we don't talk about smartphones here at All Touch Tablet but I feel this one deserves any one's attention, especially because it rises the question "iPhone or iPad ?". Unlike...

You've all read about ASUS launching the EEE Tablet, EEE Pad EP101TC and Eee Pad EP121 at Computex Taipei 2010 a few days ago, but it seems ASUS had another tablet in works, maybe before those three tablets, named EPad. It's a very very slim 10 inch tablet running Windows 7 on an unknown hardware configuration, possibly the Menlow platform. There's not much info known about the ASUS EPad, besides the fact that it looks like a finished product, not a sample. General opinion seems to point towa...
