Remember we've told you about the Blackberry tablet, which is planned to launch sometime in 2010? Well, it seems that BoyGeniusReport has got new info on this device. It's not much, but enough to give us an idea of what to expect from RIM. Apparently the Blackberry tablet is a 8.9 inch device, slate type, which is meant as a companion for your QWERTY smartphone (also Blackberry, in RIM's oppinion). What companion means is that you don't get 3G and data transfers are made through Bluetooth (via y...

Remember the HP TouchSmart TM2? It's one of the best tablet PCs you can buy today and it's priced conveniently at under 900 $ for the base version with an Intel ULV CPU and a fast 7200 RPM hard drive. It's cheaper than a fully fledged touch tablet like the Lenovo X201T that will set you back around 2000$ and is more powerful than a netbook tablet PC. Now it will be even more powerful thanks to the addition of Core i3 and i5 processor upgrades, slated sometime this summer. It's not official ye...

I've read today one of the best articles about tablets written in a while: the first impressions after Nielsen got the chance to play for a few weeks with the new iPad. If you don't know, Jakob Nielsen is 'the guru' when it comes to usability testing of anything that has to do with web. The article is quite long but worth reading if you think Apple did all the right things with the iPad. Contrary to its success, the iPad is a step backward when it comes to usability, setting the bar too low by m...

We've presented you a few months ago a MSI tablet prototype running Tegra 2 hardware, with speculated launch date sometime during Computex Taipei trade show and sub 500 $ price. All these info is now confirmed, except the Tegra platform, which was ditched in favor of Intel Menlow Zxx Atom CPUs. That puts the 10 inch tablet in the same league with other Atom powered slate tablets running Windows 7: the running slow league. Price will be under 500$ and we'll have features like 3G and WiFi, plus MS...

iPad is a success, everybody knows that, now that the 1 million mark of sold units was surpassed in less than 30 days. Google has an eye on the tablet market for some time, but it didn't made any serious move till now, when we know they're developing an iPad killer together with Verizon Wireless. We don't know yet who's building the hardware, but I bet it's HTC, as they've already collaborated nicely for the Nexus One smartphone and is not out of the question for HTC to start developing a slim t...

Say you've bought the iPad and use it for reading a lot or you need sometimes to put it on a table just like a monitor while you type on an external keyboard. Those moments are rare, but when you need to use the iPad like this the only option is to get an iPad stand to raise the screen just like when you open the lid on a laptop. There are many types of iPad stands, some cheap and simple, some complex and expensive and some are iPad cases with multi function use, including acting like a st...

When it comes to mobile devices mobility is the one thing everyone craves for. Till now all my laptops charged in at least 50% of the time the battery lasted. Of course you can get this time down by closing the laptop while charging, but what would be the point, right? Toshiba seems to be the pioneer when it comes to solving this problem as it seems they're ready to bring to market the lightest 13 inch laptop fitted with a fast charging SCiB battery, that can be replenished in 10 minutes to 90% ...

We've mentioned several times the Neofonie WePad slate type tablet, with the first time being critical to the name and design that resembles too much to the iPad. It seems that Neofonie realized the name resembles too much to the tablet that started it all and decided to change the name into WeTab, just so that any complaint from Apple to be dismissed from start. If you ask me, this is something they should have done a long time ago, before their tablet got that much press attention, but hey,...

We've told you about HP buying Palm a few days ago and now it seems that HP has plenty of plans going on after this acquisition, including launching a WebOS touch tablet in Q3 2010, codenamed Hurricane. The move seems logical, but there are problems with this rumor, as the final acquisition has yet to be approved in US by the anti-monopole commission, something slated for July 31st, so in case something goes wrong there's nothing HP can do to recover the money it spend developing the WebOS table...

As with many Apple launches, the iPad was first shipped to US, the biggest market for the American manufacturer. Now we know when the rest of the world (or part of it) will get their hands on the iPad and how much it will cost there. Preorders have started today for the first batch of countries that will get the iPad on May 28th, with the second batch following sometime in July. Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK are the lucky ones, followed by Aust...
