1SaleaDay has the Augen Genbook 108 on sale right now. You have 7 more hours to buy this netbook. According to the old K-mart listing, this netbook is running Android v2.1. on an 800MHz CPU. That’s decent but not spectacular. It also has Wifi, a SD card slot, ethernet, and 2GB Flash.I would assume it [...]

Update: Sylvania 7″ Android tablet IS CRAP
April 25th, 2011 · 46 Comments · hardware reviews
CVS is selling a 7″ Android tablet for $99. I’ve been trying to get one for a while now, and I finally got one when they added it to their website. It’s a pretty decent tablet for $99, and I’m pretty sure that I’ll keep it for my collection. But I’m also seeing a weird [...]

My experiences with the Amazon Appstore have brought home the fact that Android leaks like a sieve. We have no idea which app is doing what. It’s high time that I added a firewall to my Android tablets. But it’s easier said than done. I’ve found a bunch of firewall apps, but there’s a problem. [...]
Amazon Blaze to run Android, have a 4.3″ Mirasol screen
April 5th, 2011 · 2 Comments · humor
I wanted to share an elaborate April Fool’s day joke with you. The folks at Android Police spent much of last week putting together a truly impressive practical joke. the combined plausible pictures, detailed tech specs, and even a faked handout from Amazon. I nearly fell for it, it’s that good. i also know a [...]
I’m not taking my iPad or Android tablet to the conference
April 3rd, 2011 · 13 Comments · opinion
I’m traveling top NYC this afternoon for a conference and I finally decided on what gadgets I’m going to bring. Due to weight (and the fact that I don’t want to leave electronics in my hotel room), I had to pick between a Win7 tablet convertible or (as a pair) my iPad and Viewsonic gTablet. [...]

The hardware blind spot – Why Amazon probably isn’t working on a Kindle Android tablet
March 21st, 2011 · 7 Comments · opinion
The Kindle Android rumors surfaced again on Friday. The NY Times noticed that Amazon are hiring Android developers at Lab126 (they develop the Kindle hardware and apps) and jumped to the obvious conclusion. Amazon must be working on a Kindle that runs Android, and that this new device could have a color screen. There are [...]

It’s running on Android v1.5 a RockChip CPU, but the amount of [...]
The Amazon Android Tablet I’d Buy
March 14th, 2011 · 3 Comments · opinion
Amazon is apparently preparing to launch an Android App Store as early as this month. Meanwhile, GigaOm’s Kevin C. Tofel talks about how the real iPad challenge might come from Amazon in the form of an Android tablet. I love it! Why? I could easily jump from iPhone/iPad to the Android platform this summer because [...]
