Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

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...

It's pretty amazing to see where tablets and eReaders have come in the past few years, since the time when their niche was created. It's even amazing for slate tablets, a product that basically didn't exist until two years ago.A recent market study report shows strong growth of eReader and tablet ownership in US in the past month, where the holiday shopping spree was motivated by various deals and the two categories mentioned above were on top of the wish list for most consumers in US.Pr...

I don't know if you still remember last year's Notion Ink Adam tablet, one of the first models to ship with Tegra 2, and the only one with an option for a Pixel QI screen, the one that can be switched to a low power gray-scale mode that mimics the characteristics of an eInk eReader screen.It wasn't so popular for some reason, my guess being the limited quantity in which it was produced, the lack of a price incentive (as Notion Ink is not a household name) and a custom user interface that had...

One of the most promising tablets of the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 is the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime, which we've covered extensively on AllTouchTablet.com. It had/has its issues, but so far Asus lives up to the task of solving them, making world's first quad core tablet one of the few real alternatives to the Apple iPad 2.So given the fact you're pretty familiar with this subject I'm not going to make a (new) presentation of the tablet, but merely point you towards a few clips w...

It's undeniable that Apple is the strongest IT company at this moment, which means they have the resources to push their vision upon consumers, if it's something new and exciting.The latest Apple vision is a futuristic look at what textbooks and education should be like. Considering that in the AppStore there are over 20.000 learning oriented apps and more than 1.5 million iPads are used in schools and universities it's easy to understand why Apple wants to make from teaching the next big th...

We've already talked about the GPS issues that plague each and every ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime tablet thanks to its metallic case. ASUS initially said there's a design issue and even erased the GPS mention from the specs sheet, leaving users with no alternative to weak GPS signal problems.Then, at CES 2012, ASUS announced the high end TF700T Transformer Prime, which features a redesigned back, with a plastic area above the antennas, that will help boost signal strength for all wireless ...

Viewsonic is known for its budget products, so it's safe to say that you shouldn't expect too much from them, but also you're left with some money in your pocket, which during these times it's something to be appreciated.As many manufacturers, Viewsonic was present at CES 2012, where it presented the Viewpad 10E, a tablet already announced in October. Back then we knew the 10 inch tablet would be one with moderate specs, to be diplomatic about it, but with a convenient pricing scheme.Now...

I know this is a little bit silly, but bear with me for a second: Chinese manufacturers have already started making iPad 2S/iPad 3 cases. We had a lot of rumors about the upcoming Apple tablet, but nothing certain yet, so we'll take any kind of confirmation until Apple announces this thing.Since the rumor goes that production of the third generation iPad tablet has begun already it's believable that manufacturers in the area (China in this case) have got some specs we don't know, including t...

If you have kids and travel by car a lot with the family you know how easy is for the young ones to get bored, and how today's gadgets are helping you get by easier.The latest concept comes from GM, who's thinking on going touchscreen with the car windows, that can be used to display various apps and interact with the car occupants during long trips.The concept uses transparent displays (of course) and can be used for pretty much anything you think of: navigation, games, watching movies,...

I don't know if you still remember last year's LG G-Slate (also known as Optimus Pad), an expensive 8.9 inch tablet with limited 3D capabilities. LG has pretty much abandoned that project and just redesigned the whole thing from the ground up.That's why today the Korean company officially announced the LG Optimus Pad LTE, a tablet that uses the same 8.9" form factor, but adds updated components. As the name suggests, the tablet supports LTE data networks, so it will make it to US at some poi...
