Best Tablet PC Reviews, News and 2012 tablets

After showing us the LT170 tablet last week Toshiba presented yet another strange tablet in Germany. This one is called AT330 and is indeed a 13.3 inch tablet. That's a size we've seen in past year in convertible tablet form factor, with keyboard and pivoting screen, but personally I didn't expect to ever see a 13.3 inch Android tablet.Yes, the Toshiba AT330 is a quad core Tegra 3 tablet with Android 4.0.1 ICS, dual cameras (5MP back and 1.3 MP front) and a good array of ports: HDMI, SD (ful...

There were quite a few rumors about Amazon's tablet plans for 2012, all pointing towards a bigger 8.9 inch or even 10 inch model. Now that we're entering Q2 it seems rumors are intensifying, with Taiwan Economic News saying there are not one, not two, but three new Kindle Fire tablets coming to market this year.One will be similar to last year's Amazon Kindle Fire, which means 7 inches form factor and 1024 x 600 pixels resolution screen. That's what we know about it, so I'll dare to venture...

If you want a different iPad case the Pad & Quill Contega 2 is probably one of the most unusual cases you can find at this time. Why? because it tries to look like a book, with a red reading sign and a profile made from Baltic Birch plywood. Yeap, you read that right: the iPad compartment is made from wood, a very slim and light type of wood, but still wood.There are three reasons to use wood in the construction of this case: it offers a different look, it's fairly light and tough enoug...

One of the weak points of the new iPad, which applies to older generations too, is the mono speaker of the tablet. While it offers plenty of punch for such a small size it's still only mono.Those who want audio quality always had to rely on external iPad speakers (this is our list from last year).This post is a review of the iMainGo XP, an ultra-portable speaker case for the iPad 1 and 2, kindle sent to me by Portable Sound Laboratories.  So let's go through my first impressions, design...

After this Friday's article about new iPad's problems I feel obliged to tell you about the latest developments in the heating issue and bring to your attention two things: the cause of the heat and a comparison chart with the operating temperature registered by competing tablets in the same series of tests.First things first, the Color Quality, which Apple mentioned it's 44% improved over the iPad 2, means the company is using better color filters to obtain less light leakage, which drives ...

The easiest way to customize your tablet is to throw a nice wallpaper on the background, and the new Apple iPad  3 with its high resolution Retina Display begs for a high quality wallpaper.It's also an easy way to recognize your own tablet if you meet with your friends who own an iPad or if you have more than one at home. For me using a wallpaper proved useful to help me quickly spot the new iPad next to the iPad 2, especially when I was shooting comparison videos.Anyway, let's see what...

Samsung is no stranger to 11.6 inch tablets, as it already has the Series 7 Slate PC, but that's a bulky Windows 7 tablet that has nothing to do with current Android tablets the company makes.That's why it seems odd Samsung is taking the chance with a 11.6 Android slate, as it become apparent from one of the company's Exynos 5 dual-core processor product page. That page shows a huge slate that looks a lot like the Galaxy TAB 10.1 N, the one sold in Germany, which features a slightly modified...

There are the official Apple iPad 3 cases which fanboys buy, then there are the premium cases which people who want to make a statement get and then there are the mass cases for the new iPad, which people like you and me end up purchasing.Marware is a company making affordable cases and peripherals for iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle, tablets and MacBooks and they were kind enough to send me the first cases or the new iPad (3rd Gen) 2012: Marware CEO Hybrid and EcoVue. [more iPad 3 cases are pres...

Since the arrival in stores of the new 2012 iPad I've seen a lot of reports with the problems the third generation Apple tablet has. And they're not few. Despite this fact, Apple sold over three million units in the first weekend, which says a lot about how much consumers love Apple.In the past I know people used to wait a little bit before purchasing a new product, to see if others are reporting issues, but now being an early adopter seems to be the norm and waiting is just awkward behavio...

Imagine the following scenario: you buy a new Windows 8 tablet that's fitted with a high resolution display, just like the Apple iPad 3. If Win8 is anything like Windows 7, Vista or XP you'll either end up with UI buttons that you can only find with a magnifying glass or increase system Font DPI size, which results in various distorted elements on screen.Apparently Microsoft learned something and Windows 8 will scale better with various screen sizes, resolutions and DPI combinations. The ide...
