Articles about tablet rumors

I'll just pretend I didn't write one iPad 3 article/rumor each day for the past week and jump to the latest bits that landed in my feed reader: somebody claims it's god an iPad 3 prototype and used the iBoot debug development tool to find out what internals are confirmed for the next generation Apple tablet.It seems the new A6 processor, code S5L8945X, is actually a quad core model, as implied before, and there will be two iPad 3 models, just like before, J1 and J2. J1 is the WiFi model whil...

While the current quad-core tablets (actually only the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer Prime is for sale) are certainly impressive in terms of performance, surpassing easily the iPad 2, it's fair to assume that the upcoming iPad 3 will make sure to close this gap, or even go one step further.Samsung is not taking any chances, so it seem that at MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona next month it will introduce a new Galaxy TAB with the new dual-core Exynos 5250 2GHz processor clocked at 2GHz, a ...

It's been a while already since we've talked about the Blackberry Playbook, the 7 inch tablet of 2011 that wasn't to be. We're still waiting for the OS 2.0 software update, the one which will add an email, calendar, contact and messenger client, which is due to arrive in February 2012.We're still weeks away from that date, so let's take a look at the latest rumors about RIM, a company that doesn't seem able to dust itself off and shine again in a fast changing mobile world. That doesn't mean...

The vast majority of iPad 3 rumors I've been posting about here on AllTouchTablet.com don't have what you would call a solid foundation. Most of them are from the "I know from a trustworthy source" category, but the one I'm going to share with you today has some solid evidence to back it up.In a recent iOS 5.1 beta (available for developers) it was found a mention about next gen iPad and iPhone coming with quad-core processors. This is not a new rumor, as you might recall, but more of a conf...

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...

2011 was not a good year for Microsoft when it comes to tablets, just like 2010, even if the company created some hype around the next generation operating system, Windows 8, which will work both on desktops, laptops, tablets and on x86, ARM processors at the same time (you read our articles about Win8 here).We already know a huge part of the Windows success story comes from the huge amount of partners Microsoft acquired, which make it possible for the Redmond giant to sell its products. The...

As 2012 is approaching with light speed so are new rumors about the upcoming Apple iPad 3 tablet. Up until now most rumors focused on the high resolution display (four times the current 1024 x 768 pixels), a mini version, 7.85 inches in diagonal and what seems to be a thicker body.Past days I've read new interesting rumors which point towards Apple keeping the current iPad 2 model, 'packaged' probably in a more price sensitive manner, in order to offer an alternative to those looking for an ...

We've been hinting here and here on All Touch Tablet about a 7.85 inch iPad Mini that will launch probably in 2012, and today I've seen the rumor coming up again, with Digitimes saying Apple was persuaded by Amazon with its Kindle Fire tablet to prepare a smaller size iPad Mini, probably with a smaller price tag too.The same 7.85 inch size is mentioned, with actual production starting in Q2 2012 and delivery taking place sometime in Q4, which means for the better part of 2012 we'll be deali...

One of the most popular articles here on AllTouchTablet is the review of the ASUS EEE PC T101MT convertible netbook, dating back to 2010. The netvertible concept was derived from the need to marry a lightweight form factor with an affordable price.I can't say it was a success, as the offer was always limited and products lacked appeal due to poor performance, but now that ultrabooks are poised to replace netbooks I understand why Asus will be offering a convertible ultrabook in 2012, powere...

I remember writing once about the new iPad 3 tablet, due to launch early next year, that it will come in a slightly thicker body than the current generation.Now this rumor surfaced again on a Japanese Blog, citing Asian component suppliers, that mention current iPad cases that cover the back of the tablet won't fit the next generation iPad. The Smart Cover will have no problems working with the iPad 3, as the profile has the same rounded shape as before.If you recall, the added thicknes...
