Despite rumors claiming trouble in paradise for ASUS and its highly anticipated quad-core Transformer Prime tablet it seems there won't be any delays in deliveries, which should start on December 19th, just a few days before Christmas, one of the heaviest periods for shopping and the best for getting important discounts.The last place for the ASUS Transformer Prime to show up for pre-order is Expansys, an online store that's somewhat specialized on being first to offer things for pre-order, ...

My favourite tablet at this moment is the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime, the first with Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 processor. We've covered it extensively here, so that's a good start to refresh your memory.As expected, ASUS was quick to announce the new tablet last month and also got things going pretty fast in the sense that right now you can preorder the Transformer Prime from Amazon and other stores will soon start shipping of the ultrabook looking tablet. The optional docking keyboard ...

The only non-Apple tablet to be (partially) successful last year, the Samsung Galaxy TAB, renamed to Galaxy TAB 7 and then reincarnated into the updated Galaxy TAB 7 Plus is nearing the date when it will get into consumer hands, as it surfaced now on Amazon, for the second time.If I'm not mistaken, the Galaxy TAB 7 Plus is the second 7 inch tablet with Honeycomb to actually ship to consumers, after the [easyazon-link asin="B00548QAPC"]Acer Iconia TAB A100[/easyazon-link], even if some other ...

People loved the 7 inch Galaxy TAB 7 from last year, so it comes at no surprise that the newly upgraded Samsung Galaxy TAB 7 Plus caused a positive reaction among those wanting a more pocketable tablet with good specs.As of last week, the new tablet showed up for pre-order on J&R in US, before the previsioned Indonesia launch. That's the good news. The bad news is that it starts at $399 for the 16 GB model and jumps up to $499 for the 32 GB Galaxy TAB 7 Plus.That might have worked ...

Despite what I've said about people wanting Windows on their next tablet I'm sure they didn't meant spending over 1000 bucks on a large 11.6 inch tablet like the Samsung Series 7 Slate PC, presented at IFA Berlin.It looks very good, being one of the slimmest Windows 7 tablet out there, if not the thinnest, but it's huge at 11.6 inches (needed to handle small touch elements with ease) and costs an arm and a leg. For $1099, the starting price for 64 GB SSD version with 4GB RAM, a Core i5 CPU ...

It was to be expected that a brand name cheap tablet like the Amazon Kindle Fire would cause such a stir, but how well does the 7 inch tablet do 6 weeks before the official retail debut?A recent leak from an inventory management system shows that 250.000 Kindle Fires have been pre-ordered up until now. This amounts to 2000 new units sold each hour and could add up to 2.5 millions until November 15th, if the current rate of pre-order is maintained.This makes Kindle's tablet fastest sellin...

Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 is a tablet I have big hopes for, since the smaller footprint of the 8.9 inch screen seems more desirable for a portable device that can do pretty much anything you would do on a laptop, minus serious work. While it was announced at the same time with the bigger Galaxy TAB 10.1, just now it became available for pre-order, at Best Buy for starters.Am I excited? Not really, since the starting price is $469 for the 16 GB version and you must add another $100 to jump to 32...

If you remember, we've been introduced to the Fusion Garage Grid 10 tablet a few weeks ago, an interesting tablet that uses a completely customized Android experience, 100% different from what you've seen. The main characteristic is a grid-like home screen where you can group app icons to your liking. It's still an Android tablet, so you'll be able to install and run Android apps.The tablet is now available for pre-order, and it already received a nice $200 discount, so it starts at [easyazo...

We've mentioned ZAGG products on AllTouchTablet quite a few times and we had only good things to say about them except the fact all their tablet keyboards are expensive (~$100) and don't work with multiple tablets. It's like Zagg head us, as today it announced the pre-order availability of their new ZAGG Keys Solo bluetooth keyboard for tablets and smartphones.Finally Zagg managed to build up an external keyboard that's compatible with multiple devices, while reducing the price to an afforda...

Following last week's significant price reduction for the HP Touchpad I was quite shocked about the retail price of the 4G enabled Touchpad tablet, which just surfaced on Amazon.com for $700. Sure this is the 32 GB version, features a more powerful 1.5 GHz CPU (vs 1.2 on the WiFi only model), but it's still way too expensive for a 10 inch tablet.I've always said tablets need to reach the 250-300$ sweet spot to be able to sell in the tens of thousands millions. The iPad and iPad 2 are a spe...
