Articles about 7 inch tablet

I'm sure you all remember the fire sale of the HP TouchPad last year, where HP was looking to clear their stock. RIM did it too with the Playbook tablet, but I think they still have some stock left, so the same offer from the Holiday season is up on their website: $199 for the 16GB model, $249 for 32GB and $299 for the 64GB WiFi tablet.Amazon apparently kept the low price for the past couple of months (it's about 20$ more for each model), so in case RIM doesn't manage to clear the stock you ...

Viewsonic is synonym with cheap tablets, and at CES 2012 they were present with three models: ViewPad e70 (7 inch tablet), and two 10 inchers; ViewPad 10pi and 10e (which we know from last year).None of the three models impress in any way, as expected, except maybe the Viewsonic 10pi, a professional 10 inch tablet, and by professional I mean it dual boots Android 2.3 and Windows 7 on a 1.5 GHz Oak Trail z670 CPU.Dual booting is a tradition with Viewsonic, that's why is no excuse the fact...

Lenovo is a pretty serious company, but they do make products that appeal to 'normal' consumers. One such tablet is the IdeaPad S2 10, a 10 inch tablet with pretty typical specs: Android 4.0, 1280 x 800 px 10" IPS screen, a dual core Snapdragon 89560 CPU @1.5GHz, 1GB RAM, up to 64 GB storage, 3G, micro HDMI and dual cameras (1.3MP and 5MP).What makes the Lenovo S2 10 interesting is the that is will increase battery life from 9 to 20 hours, will provide the full QWERTY Keyboard, two more USB...

ASUS launched not one but two tablets from the MeMo lineup, one being last year's model, called ME171 and the other, ME370t, both with a lot to be proud of.First there's the fact both are powered by Android 4.0, have high resolution screens: 1280 x 800 px (very high pixel density for the screen size) and come with capacitive styluses and dedicated apps for taking notes (no handwriting recognition yet, but that's not Asus' fault).The ASUS EEE Pad MeMo ME171 is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual co...

I know some of you have asked me about Toshiba AT200, the slimmest tablet announced in 2011, which unfortunately didn't make any kind of official retail appearance. Since Toshiba has started claiming it will launch the world's thinnest and lightest 10.1 inch tablet at CES, along with the slimmest and lightest 13.3 inch ultrabook I'm pretty sure the forgotten AT200 will make a new appearance.Maybe Toshiba will update the looks (not quite my style) and bring the specs into 2012. I know I'm ask...

A few days ago when I wrote about the Google tablet, confirmed to arrive by Google's Chairman Eric Schmidt in a 6 months window, I said that this is probably going to be a 10 inch model.If we are to believe the latest rumors the Google Nexus will be a 7 inch tablet in direct competition with the Amazon Kindle Fire, so it will also be priced the same, at $199. It's interesting to see Android fighting Android, as I'm pretty sure no analyst had anticipated this last year.It's 100% sure it w...

Despite Samsung offering Android tablets starting at 7 inches and going all the way up to 10 inches, ASUS is probably the most popular Android slates maker, even if they focused up until now only on the 10 inch form factor with EEE Pad Slider, 1st gen Transformer and the quad core Transformer Prime.Now, with a new leaked photo of what seems to be a 7 inch EEE Pad, which probably is due to be announced sometime at CES 2012, which starts in Las Vegas on January 10th, ASUS steps into new dimens...

At first everyone was sceptic about 7 inch form factor tablets, with Apple being the biggest name saying such a small form factor hasn't got a chance in the world.A little bit more than one year later it's clear 7 inch tablets are here to stay, and what's unexpected is that this November the production of 7" panels was slightly higher than that of 9.7" models, the ones used on the iPad 2.  Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Tablets are selling pretty well, considering they're cheap tablets, not pr...

I've always said the biggest problem with tablets was the price and I was right, as the Amazon Kindle tablet, the first brand model to get under $200, sells like hot cakes. Nook Tablet is also a tablet worth considering, but both of them feature customized user experiences that rely heavily on the two companies content and don't have access to the Android Marketplace.If you want a cheap 7 inch tablet you now have the Archos 70b (it'll be here in a few weeks actually), the first Honeycomb tab...

One of the anticipated 7 inch tablets for the end of this years is the Toshiba Thrive 7, a possible match for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. The Thrive 7 just appeared for sale on Amazon ($379 for the 16 GB model and $454 for the bigger 32 GB Thrive 7, both WiFi only), so both tablets are now available for purchase, just in time to take advantage of the Christmas rush.Toshiba's offering is a little bit more rugged, while the Samsung's own tablet is a little bit more refined, but also a notch...
