Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

One of the new features that seems to catch on with mobile devices this year is 3D functionality, including recording and playback, as quite a few smartphones and the LG G-Slate tablet from LG have been announced to support this feature. I'm not saying that's good, or bad, but personally I don't believe in 3D with glasses: it's too inconvenient to use and consumers know that.And for a smartphone/tablet things are even worse since you have to carry around a pair of 3D glasses with you all the...

Let's say you've decided you like the 1st gen iPad and the upgrade to iPad 2 is not worth the money, but you do like the Smart Cover case so much that you want it to work with your 'old' tablet. Apparently there's no way to win from this situation, you might think, without getting $499 for the new iPad 2. I'm happy to challenge that (as a Gillette TV ad says), so here's a guide found on Dan Provost's site, a Russian guy who figured out a way to make that Smart Case for iPad 2 to work on the olde...

Sprint is one of the proud owners of a 4G network in US, and it's a shame not to take advantage of it, so their latest 4G WiMax device announced today at CTIA 2011 is the HTC EVO View 4G, a tablet previously known as the HTC Flyer.So you get the same 7 inch tablet with a different name and a few bundled apps you like or hate (Blockbuster On Demand, Sprint entertainment software). That's pretty much the only difference from what we've seen at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month....

After a few teasing sessions of its upcoming 8.9 inch tablet Samsung finally announced officially the Galaxy TAB 8.9 tablet at CTIA 2011. It's amazing how far Samsung managed to get in just a few months, as their new tablet features an extremely slim design: only 8.6 millimeters, that is thinner than the iPad 2 (8.8 mm), which makes it officially a true competitor to Apple's tablet, being slimmer and also cheaper, but more on pricing a few paragraphs down.Wow, that's amazing I hear you say, ...

Opera is one of the most important apps you can download on your mobile phone or tablet: it's the third party web browser that brings desktop like navigation of small(er) screen devices. Opera has just released its latest version of the two browsers it currently develops: Opera Mini 6 and Opera Mobile 11. I know it's confusing, but the differences between those two are very easy to understand. Actually it's only one difference: Opera Mini uses company's own servers to compress web pages that are...

One of the most anticipated tablets of this year is RIM's Blackberry Playbook, a 7 inch tablet with lots of multimedia capabilities and a strong business presence, due to RIM's commitment to the business world through its smartphones. As with all tablets presented in 2010 the Playbook was delayed lots of times from various reasons, the most important reason being the development phase of QNX based operating system, a completely new version from the one used in current Blackberry smartphones....

If you want to get a cheap Android tablet these days and you don't want to pay for a no-name model then Archos is your only option. They've established themselves as cheap tablet manufacturers, with a clear orientation towards media playback, whether you talk about video, audio playback or photo viewing.The French company has some interesting plans for 2011 that are worth mentioning, plans that concern the Gen 9 tablet series, slated for June release. First, the cheap part of their brandin...

Now that tablets are catching up with consumer preferences it seems that netbooks are falling back in sales and user interest. Sure  a netbook is flexible in the sense that you can do pretty much everything with it that you would do with a normal computer, it lasts a lot, comparable to some tablets, but it's not as speedy at those tasks and you can't use it without standing at a desk or on a chair/sofa. Plus netbooks are bigger and heavier that tablets. Now throw into the equation the fact netb...

One of the best Windows 7 tablets to date is the EEE Slate EP121 from ASUS. It's for sale right now and there should be quite a few people interested in it. I'm not talking about the iPad 2 loving crowd, but consumers who need a flexible operating system that allows them to install any app they want (like any Windows version) and the ability to work on a mobile device without having to carry around a lot of weight (2.53 lbs) and without giving up on performance at the same time (the Core i5 CPU...

We all know the story with the Motorola Xoom, which didn't get Adobe Flash support at launch a few weeks ago, somehow nullifying the biggest advantage of Android tablets over the iPad. We've reported at that time that Adobe is working on bringing Flash support to Honeycomb as soon as possible and apparently it did just that, as of today you can update/install Adobe Flash 10.2 on your Android devices.Currently only versions 2.2, 2.3 and 3.0.1+ are supported, with the first two benefiting fr...
