I've always said tablets need to be cheaper, something like 200-300$ maximum, to become mainstream. Now Amazon is proving it has the same belief as it just announced the Kindle Fire (as rumored yesterday), a cheap 7 inch tablet with a clear multimedia focus: eBooks, movies, music, browsing and related actions.And cheap is the word of the day here: just $199 will get you this beauty. It's not a complete tablet, not by a long shot since it lacks 3G, a microphone and a camera, but it has everyt...

The Sony Tablet S, previously known as Sony S1, was just announced officially at IFA Berlin, and some early reviews (here and here) have caught my attention. That's why I'm writing this review of the Sony Tablet S, a 9.4 inch screen tablet that hopes to differentiate itself from the others Android Honeycomb tablets via a few multimedia features and gaming capabilities, unique to Sony's own services. Specifications Even if most of the things we need to know have been leaked in the past few mont...

I'm sure most of you haven't heard of Prestigio, a company specialized in products for EMEA market (Europe, Middle East and Africa). They're the equivalent of Archos, except they're not limited to PMP, mp3 players and tablets. Their products feature a good price/quality ratio and that's something a lot of consumers are looking for in a gadget. Today I'm going to tell you about their MultiPad series, consisting of 5 tablet models, which will see the light of day this year. They're all powered by ...

You thought that the Dell Streak is one small tablet, measuring just 5 inch in diagonal? It seems Archos is preparing an even bigger surprise, or should I say smaller, as the Gen 8 Tablet will feature a very small 3.2 inch screen with an aging 400 x 240 pixels resolution, powered by an ARM Cortex A8 CPU capable of 720p video playback at 24 pixels.Things like WiFi, Bluetooth EDR, and composite video output are also included in the (small) package of Archos Gen 8 Tablet. It's interesting to se...

HP is becoming more and more active in the touch tablets field, as now announced it is working on models that will be released this year with included pico projectors. That's at least intriguing as small pico projectors started to pop up last year as independent devices or included in cell phones and camcorders, paving the way for a new digital trend that might catch up next year at CES.[caption id="attachment_1135" align="aligncenter" width="468" caption="Pico Projectors could be the next t...

Archos is just one of those manufacturers that want to innovate and always stick to their principles. One of the results is the Archos 5 Internet Tablet running Android OS. The screen is bigger than an Android Phone so you'll be able to do some real browsing and get things done (entertainment that is for this case, and a few touches of office work).But let's see what powers the Archos 5 Android Internet tablet:4.8 inch LCD screen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution ARM Cortex A8 800 MHz ...

One thing that keeps me away from a touch tablet is its price, as I don't see it as an alternative to a portable computer, but as a low powered device with an alternate input method designed for special hand input applications. Toshiba thinks it has a sollution to this inconvenint and announced this year at IFA the JournE touch multimedia tablet, a 7 inch, one pund device running Windows CE 6.0 and that can support H.264, DivX and WMV video codecs, has special applications for Youtube and Flickr...
