Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

Gigabyte S1080 is not a new tablet, as we've wrote a few bits about it on AllTouchTablet in January (here and here), but those were just leaked materials, as of today Gigabyte announced officially their 10 inch slate powered by Windows 7. There are a lot of specs announced and a few interesting accessories, which I'll mention below.First thing you'll see is that the S1080 resembles a lot in design the Viewsonic Viewpad 10 Pro tablet, but that's just the outside, as the inside tells a differe...

Viewsonic is one of the companies that managed to announce and launch tablets last year, but that didn't help them take too much market share, which can be attributed mainly to the lack of innovation and poor implementation of the truly good ideas (bad dual boot implementation for example). Viewsonic hopes to change all that after Computex 2011, where it announced two tablets that are not completely unfamiliar to us: the Viewpad 7x and ViewPad 10Pro.Let me refresh your memory: the ViewPad 7x...

I was wrong when I predicted ASUS' upcoming Computex announcement of the tablet that jumps at you to be a laptop with an integrated 5-7 inch tablet that acted as a touchpad. The product announced today, the PadFone, is an amazing 4.3 inch Android smartphone that docks inside a 10 inch tablet. Yeap, that's right, a variation of the Motorola Atrix in which the smartphone gets docked inside the tablet case, behind a door.There's no keyboard like on the Atrix or the EEE Pad Transfomer, but a lar...

I'm not sure if you remember, but last month there was a post on AllTouchTablet.com about Lenovo's upcoming Android Thinkpad tablet. Well, maybe it was not a Thinkpad, but an Ideapad, as the Lenovo K1 just surfaced in two stores (not in stock) and it seems to me like is the same product we're talking about here.From the looks of it it's a 'classic' 10 inch slate with rounded edges and a thick black screen bezel. Specs mention a 10.1″ display (1280 x 800 pixels resolution), the Tegra 2 T2...

In a move that doesn't surprise anyone, since ASUS is a company that started in Taiwan, they started teasing 'a tablet that jumps at you' for this year's Computex IT show that starts in a few days in Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan. I'm curious how ASUS hopes to approach the tablet market with a new concept, as for me, the motto 'a tablet that jumps at you' is just a way to say 'hey, we're launching our own Motorola Atrix', but maybe I'm wrong.Anyway, the poster below, found on the ASUS o...

We have discussed this many times: Windows 7 is a great OS, but not what you'd expect for a touch tablet, that's why the best slates out there are the ones powered by iOS and Android. That doesn't mean they're perfect, as contrary to them, the complexity of Windows 7 is what some people are looking for, and when that's the only alternative things happen: Justin Campana, a known Windows modder, has posted a tutorial about how you can convert the Windows 7 user interface to make it a lot more fin...

One way big companies research great minds for their upcoming projects is design contests where a specials set of requirements is given and the winners, if deemed worthy, are then presented with an opportunity to work inside the company that organized the contest in the first place. A more selfish approach is to just steal interesting ideas, but this post is not about ethics, but about an interesting tablet concept, the Ecopad, that won a Fujitsu 'Judge's special award' at A life with future com...

Fujitsu is the traditional tablet PC manufacturer, is you ask me. They're one of the oldest advocates of the tablet PC format and still today they're pushing lots of models for business use. But that's going to change as rumors point towards a launch of a 7 inch Android tablet for the mases. Until that happens let's take a look at the recently annouced Fujitsu TH40/D a sliding tablet with a QWERTY keyboard that will take on a fight with the Asus EEE Pad Slider and the Samsung Sliding series 7. ...

One of the different tablets on market today is the HTC Flyer, a 7 inch tablet that manages to be different than the competition, and not in a bad way. Even though I'm still in talks with HTC for receiving the Flyer for review I've read a lot of reviews online (Engadget, Slashgear etc) past days so I thought of giving you a detailed view on HTC's 7 inch tablet, their first slate in this growing niche.Unlike almost all tablets in 2011, that try and imitate the iPad and iPad 2 looks and fun...

After the Flyer HTC decided to choose the name of an Italian composer, Puccini, for its next tablet, a 10 inch version that will feature 4G connectivity. Right now we have more rumors than official acknowledgement of this tablet, but since those rumors are pointing toward a June starting date for mass production maybe it's time to take a quick look at what we think we know about HTC Puccini, the tablet that goes head to head with the big boys from Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Acer and LG.Why I'...
