We all know performance is the one indicator that makes possible all those gadgets that are becoming smaller and smaller, while offering more features. If it wasn't for chipset manufacturers the iPad wouldn't have gotten that thin, the netbooks wouldn't have gotten up to 10 hours battery life and so on. It's no wonder then that Qualcomm si already in talks with more than 10 companies to bring to market their dual core Snapdragon CPUs clocked at over 1.2 GHz.And what better device to put a du...

Remember the JooJoo tablet and the scandal around it and Michael Arrington? It seems Fushion Garage is well and fine, whilst the lawsuit is developing and is already preparing JooJoo 2 tablet for early 2011. There aren't many specs to talk about, but we do know about the general direction JooJoo 2 is heading and that is a Google Android OS. So the proprietary Flash interface was thrown away for a more flexible OS. That's probably the cause of low sales numbers for the first JooJoo, which pre-ord...

When Blackberry presented officially their tablet, the strangely named Playbook there were quite a few unknown variables we would have loved to know, like battery life, internal storage size, availability and pricing. We know now that the Blackberry Playbook won't see the light of day until 2011, partially due to early hardware development stage and mainly (we believe) because of the special OS, which is not mature enough for a final release yet.That doesn't mean RIM is not working hard to b...

They will hit the market at the beginning of November.Both tablets run Android, are about 1.5 cm thick and come in only one color: b...

Remember when Steve Ballmer from Microsoft said that lots of Windows 7 tablets are coming till end year? It seems that he wasn't completely wrong, as more and more slate tablets bearing Windows 7 OS are being announced everyday. Today is time to take a look at the bmodo12 slate, a 11.6 inch tablet powered by the same Atom CPU found in netbooks.As expected from a slate, the bmodo12 features a clean design, with a rubberized back which should improve grip and keep a fingerprint free appearance...

We haven't talked much operating systems for tablets and mobile devices, but we do mention them from time to time. Now it's time to take a short look at JoliCloud, an OS based on Linux, that's optimized for web apps and has some sort of social media function that allows you to see what apps your friends are installing and using on a daily basis. Till recently JoliCloud was an OS for netbooks, but since version 1.1 was announced on their official blog, it seems that JoliCloud has become a interes...

You know something becomes mainstream not when big companies are producing it, but when all the smaller brands are jumping on the bandwagon. And since Onkyo decides to launch Windows 7 tablets, we now know for sure Windows 7 is big on the tablet PC market.While Onkyo goes under the radar in the States, the name is pretty common in Japan. This is also thanks to its wacky designs: a pimped-out two-monitor laptop, Hello Kitty and Miffy-laptops, and the „Wireless headphones” wireless headpho...

Acer launched two new all-in-one desktops today. The AZ 3100 is a brand new 21.5 inch HD desktop purpose-built for entertainment. It spots a 2.0GHz AMD Athlon, 3 GB RAM and 500 GB hard-drive which, combined with the incorporated 5.1 channel audio, the built-in speakers and the HDMI connectivity are sure to put a smile on your face. For $599, you get the AZ3100 alongside a Windows 7 Premium and LAN and WiFi connectivity. It does not have a touch-screen, though, so you’ll be using an easily con...

If you first thought that Dell is a little crazy to launch a 5 inch tablet when everybody was thinking of 7 to 10 inch models, and even bigger, then you should know that Dell has a strategy to cover all important screen sizes, like 3,4, 7 and 10 inches, just like Archos did. This new plan was revealed a few days ago, when Michael Dell presented the 7 inch Streak, coming in a few weeks and today when Wall Street Journal cited Dell's Greater China President Amit Midha, who say that 10 inch and 3,4...

Haven't heard about Kno? I bet you did if you're not the first time here on AllTouchTablet.com. Let us refresh your mind then: Kno is the dual screen educational tablet we ever dreamed off, at least on paper. The bad part (it always is one) consists of the 5.5 lbs weight 'provided' by the two massive 14.1 inch touchscreens. Oh, the price will also be a problem, as the small dual screen Toshiba Libretto W100 showed us this summer (over 1000$ retail price).Today it seems that Kno has come to i...
