Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

I'm unhappy to see the same story from 2011 repeating this year too: tablets get announced at CES and MWC in the first two months of the year and then it takes a lot of time until we're actually able to buy them.The latest to get delayed is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, a totally unimpressive tablet if we compare it with last year's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, except the fact it comes with an S-Pen stylus and a couple of apps that take advantage of it.It seems like Samsung is aware of the l...

To me the Blackberry Playbook is the one tablet I would have liked to see succeeding last year, but the sales numbers of roughly one million units make it a niche product, despite its excellent selling price. Not even the launch of Blackberry OS 2.0 back in February changed much for RIM.But the company is not licking its wounds and it's working on the next software update, version 2.1, which should improve the software even more. This news is not official, as someone spotted on html5test.com...

One of the most anticipated tablets that's not made by Apple is certainly the ASUS Padfone, a hybrid smartphone that docks inside a 10 inch tablet. The product was teased at first last summer, but until MWC in February there were little details about specs and availability, which at that time was mentioned as April 2012.The good news is that Asus will stick with that timeframe, at least in Taiwan, where pre-orders will start tomorrow. Shipping is scheduled for April 20th. That's the good new...

Since the March 16th availability of the new iPad tablet is seems Apple's latest product has been diagnosed with quite a few problems. I've personally found a new one (at least that's what I think), the bright spots on the Retina Display, and it seems others have started noticing WiFi connection issues.The issues are nothing new, dating back to the original iPad, but now they seem to be more widespread then before. Symptoms include intermittent connectivity, slow WiFi speeds and sometimes ...

You all know what an universal remote is, but not all remotes are build the same. To me the Logitech Harmony series is one of the best. Why? Because you can customize one any way you like, save the configuration online on Logitech's servers and can download the same config to another Harmony remote control if and when you like. And since Logitech has a huge library of devices in 99% of the cases you won't need to 'teach' your Logitech Harmony remote new infrared signals from the dedicated remote...

The Google Nexus tablet is coming; everybody seems to agree on that, but past rumors are still unclear about what we'll be dealing with: is it a 10 inch or 7 inch tablet, and will it be the answer to the Amazon Kindle Fire or Apple iPad 3?A new image surfaced over at PocketNow pointing towards probably a 7.7 inch tablet made by Toshiba, adding more confusion to the abundance of rumors indicating Samsung or Asus partnering with Google on this one. At least the picture shows Android 4.0 ICS Â...

Intel is not just a chip manufacturer, but a company that strives to innovate and pushes its partners to use the new products. It's all business, don't mistake it for something else. Earlier this year, at CES and CeBit, Intel demonstrated some interesting concepts, among which the touchscreen ultrabooks were the one the company hinted we'll see later this year, possible together with the launch of Windows 8.Now the company its reiterating its commitment to the clamshell touchscreens (that's ...

If you've read my review of the new iPad you know that I'm satisfied by the third generation Apple tablet, especially because of the gorgeous Retina Display. The screen alone is worth the upgrade in my opinion, that's why I was pretty surprised this morning to see a bright spot on the screen, near the lower right corner.First, let's see what a bright spot is: it's an area of an LCD display that's illuminated more brightly than the rest of the pixels. It's a defect that's better observed on ...

One of the important apps that was very late to arrive on iOS was the Facebook app, but things have changed since last year and now the app is being updated more often. Today's version, 4.1.1, offers support for the new Retina Display on the iPad 3, so you'll enjoy crisp text, icons and pictures (the latter is probably the biggest improvement).Besides the visual improvements you can now to offline in chat and you can change default app language to Czech, Danish, Greek, Indonesian, Malaysian...

One of the things I love doing on my new iPad (reviewed here) is playing Real Racing 2 HD. I'm a big fan of racing games and being able to play one that's very close to PC and console games on a tablet means a lot to me. But I'm not going to talk now about how great the iPad 3 is when it comes to games, but talk about what's missing: a good controller.Using the touchscreen to steer a car or perform other actions that are not meant to have just two states, 0 and 1 (your car gas pedal is not ...
