Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

10 years ago we had desktops and laptops. Now we have tablets, netbook, ultraportables, mainstream laptops, gaming laptops, smartphones and convertible tablets. Each gap between size tends to be filled with a new type of device. Samsung is rumored to be working on a 5.3 inch tablet, a bridge between large screen smartphones and 7 inch tablets. Dell tried to do the same last year with the Dell Streak 5, but  it was far from success, both because of unusual size and antiquated software: it run on...

Archos's strategy for mp3 players, PMP devices and tablets can be summed up pretty easy to one word: multimedia. That's what kept them going in past years, but the tablet market needs a different approach if you ask me, since every tablet on market today is able to playback audio and video codecs of all kinds (not 100%, but the most popular standards are supported).Archos knows that, so the recently announced [previous coverage] 80 and 110 G9 series models are bringing to the tablet someth...

Google is starting to release new versions of Android faster than ever, maybe because it's sensing a threat from iOS, and that's a good thing for us, consumers, as we can expect new improved features to come to our tablets. Today Google released the software development kit (SDK) for Android 3.2 Honeycomb, a version we haven't talked much about, and for a good reason: there aren't too many novelties to talk about.Slated to arrive first on the Motorola Xoom, Android 3.2 Honeycomb is more of a...

It's no secret that most Android tablets today have basically the same underlying specs: 10 inch screen (1280 x 800 pixels), Tegra 2 CPU and Android Honeycomb as OS. Differences are found when it comes to the connecting ports, size of included internal storage, looks and of course pricing. The Toshiba Thrive is a very good example of this, but as the first impressions from Liliputing are showing there's a story behind Toshiba's tablet.As noted, the Toshiba Thrive tries to get closer to the ...

We all know the Nook Color eReader is a disguised Android tablet running the Nook OS on top with its eBook related customizations and limitations at the same time. Sure you can root the whole thing and to what you want, but it takes some knowledge, is not risk free and usually voids your warranty.Don't worry tough, as there's now a new option called Nook2Android, essentially a microSD card ([easyazon-link asin="B00530GZC4"]8GB[/easyazon-link], [easyazon-link asin="B00533V56M"]16 GB[/easyazon...

I'm sure you don't remember, but in early 2010 we've talked briefly about the Boogie board, a simple electronic tablet for taking notes and nothing more. Time passed and the product [easyazon-link asin="B002ZE4TDI"]went on sale for less than 40 bucks[/easyazon-link] and even appeared re-branded as e-Note, but unfortunately with the same major problem: you can only take notes, not save or download them. Then why would I get one? That's a good question, and the only answer that comes to my mind is...

If you're looking for a cheap Android tablet under $200 (we got a list here) you can always count on one thing: it will be from an unknown manufacturer and it will probably be crappy. This doesn't mean that you can't get a decent tablet for a little bit over 200 bucks. The best testament to this is the Viewsonic Viewbook 730, announced a while ago (follow link for full details), that just surfaced on Amazon.com for only $229. If you look at specs you'll see it's very similar to last year's Sams...

I guess most of you are familiar with Zagg, the producer of iPad accessories like the ZAGG Invizible Shield screen protector and the ZaggMate keyboard case, one of the most popular external keyboards with case for the 1st and 2nd generation iPad.The latest ZAGG product, the Zaggfolio is nothing else than an improved Zaggmate model, with some serious features that I'm going to detail in this post. From start I should mention that there's one thing this product doesn't improve and that's the p...

Motorola Xoom is surely the first tablet that launched in 2011 with the chance to take on the iPad and iPad 2, but it failed due partially to pricing and issues with Android Honeycomb and the lack of apps. Pricing has dropped to $499, Honeycomb is becoming more mature with the release of version 3.2 and developers are starting slowly to port their apps for the big screen.Probably this won't be enough for Xoom's rebirth, so Motorola is rumored to be working on yet another 10 inch Xoom tablet...

As speculated a few days ago HP just announced the 4G AT&T version of the 10 inch TouchPad tablet. You might not think it's that different from the normal WiFi version, but you would be wrong, as HP decided to go for a 1.5 GHz CPU instead of the 1.2 GHz model in the first TouchPad.This move could mean HP acknowledges the fact WebOS needs more power (early reviews have pinpointed some performance issues) or the company wants to make sure consumers have a reason to get the more expensive ...
