Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

Now that the revelation for the end of this year was announced: Amazon Kindle Fire, a 7 inch tablet with a surprisingly low $199 price point I've started noticing the first accessories for it, namely cases, folios, sleeves and covers. Since the tablet will be released on November 15th I bet there will be lots of new accessories coming, but since a lot of consumers have already pre-ordered the Kindle Fire I'd say giving them a list of accessories to choose from is not a bad idea.Since the Kin...

It's interesting how tablet manufacturers are now realizing pricing was a huge issues with their products in the war against the iPad and iPad 2 tablets from Apple. People don't want to pay the same price for an inferior product. There may be better tablets out there if you look at the hardware, but the whole package, including software has no chance against Apple at the same price point.RIM dropped the price on its Blackberry Playbook tablet last week by $200 and now it's time for HTC to fo...

The 7 inch tablet arena is heating up pretty fast, as a new leak in Futureshop online store in Canada has revealed for a short time the new Kobo 7 inch Android tablet/eReader. You might remember Kobo with the eReader Touch, a competitor on paper for the Barnes and Noble Nook Simple Touch Reader and recently the announced Amazon Kindle Touch.Now Kobo is expected to announce officially the Vox, a 7 inch tablet eReader/tablet meant to compete directly with Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Color. Act...

After launching the amazing 7 inch Kindle Fire tablet at an unbelievable price point of just $199 it seems Amazon is rushing again to prepare a larger 10 inch Kindle Fire, one that apparently the company is more proud of.Reports point towards Foxconn as the one manufacturing it. That's a change as for the 7 inch Kindle Fire Amazon worked with Quanta, and for two reasons: Foxconn was busy building iPad 2s and second, Quanta already made the BlackberryPlaybook for RIM, a hardware design it got...

One of the few outsiders that managed to grab a percentage of the tablet market last year was the Samsung Galaxy TAB 7, a 7 inch tablet that buyers seemed to like a lot, especially since it offered a smaller form factor than the best-selling iPad. Now it's outdated as specs are concerned, and everything Samsung announced this year is better looking, but unfortunately doesn't cover the same form factor.That is until today, when Samsung announced the Galaxy TAB 7 Plus, an updated version of ...

Yesterday was a busy day for Amazon, which announced lots of new products including the Kindle Fire tablet and new Kindle eReaders. I'm not going to take you through the specs again, as I've did it yesterday (click the two links in this paragraph for details on the new 2011 products).Instead I've placed a comprehensive table at the end of this post, taken from Amazon, which compares all current models and details the most important features. Prices vary from $79 to $199 for the new models to...

One of the promised features of RIM's Blackberry Playbook tablet was the ability to run Android apps through the Android Player, a software emulator that would bring tons of apps to the appalling Blackberry World app store.The lack of apps is the main thing that prevented the 7 inch tablet from selling like hotcakes. Unfortunately more info become available about what to expect form this compatibility mode and it seems like users won't have too many reasons to be excited. Lets' see why:...

After announcing yesterday the Kindle Fire tablet, Amazon became a star, literally, with many praising the newcomer as the iPad 2 killer everyone was waiting for over 18 months. Is it that radical so that analysts consider it a game changer? Will consumers forget about Apple's offering altogether?I'm not sure, but one thing is certain: the slate tablet market will change radically in the months to come as Apple has now a serious competitor coming from world's biggest online retailer. This po...

Together with the Kindle Fire tablet Amazon announced today a plethora of new Kindle eReaders that are worth your attention. The three new devices are Kindle, Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G. The previous Kindle generation was renamed to Amazon Kindle Keyboard (WiFi and 3G models from &99 to $189) to denote the presence of a physical keyboard that lacks on the new Kindle eReader.Let's digg in and see which one is appropriate for you as features and pricing are concerned. Prices vary fr...

I've always said tablets need to be cheaper, something like 200-300$ maximum, to become mainstream. Now Amazon is proving it has the same belief as it just announced the Kindle Fire (as rumored yesterday), a cheap 7 inch tablet with a clear multimedia focus: eBooks, movies, music, browsing and related actions.And cheap is the word of the day here: just $199 will get you this beauty. It's not a complete tablet, not by a long shot since it lacks 3G, a microphone and a camera, but it has everyt...
