There’s been a surge in the Amazon tablet rumors over the past few days. The most recent rumor is that Amazon will stream content to the tablet. This rumor is actually half true. Amazon will be streaming content, but there is no tablet involved. You’re not going to believe this, and I really hope you’re [...]

CVS shipped me the wrong Sylvania tablet
April 26th, 2011 · 6 Comments · hardware reviews
Yesterday I got my Sylvania 7″ tablet and as I am wont to do I posted about my first impressions. Then I started looking for more info on the tablet (I was hoping for a hacked firmware) and I found something rather interesting. There are actually several models floating around under the one name. If [...]
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 [...]
I still don’t believe Amazon are working on a tablet
April 21st, 2011 · 20 Comments · opinion
So the “Amazon tablet” rumors reach a fever pitch today with one of the bloggers with gdgt posting a long explanation of why he thinks Samsung are building the Amazon tablet. I respect his opinion and his right to argue a position that has so little factual basis. I’ve done the same before, so I [...]
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. [...]

Reading Apps on a Win7 tablet: a brief roundup
March 29th, 2011 · 5 Comments · software reviews
I’ve been playing with my Inspiron Duo for the past few days, and I thought I’d take a few minutes to discuss which reading apps worked well on the touch screen. This is just an overview of the apps; some won’t need any more details and the ones that do will be covered in depth [...]
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 [...]

Pioneer Computers bringing a new Android tablet to Australia
March 18th, 2011 · 3 Comments · hardware news
A few days ago Pioneer Computers (not the electronics giant) posted the first details on their new Android tablet. The DreamBook ePad H10 HD is based on a 10 (1280×800) capacitive touchscreen, and it’s running v3.0 Honeycomb on a Tegra 2 CPU. It has 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, 2 cameras (2mp and 5MP), speakers, microphone, and [...]
I wouldn’t get too excited about that Amazon tablet
March 14th, 2011 · 8 Comments · opinion
Earlier today Joe Wikert wrote a post explaining why he would buy an Amazon Android tablet. I personally disagree with the idea, but I ran the post anyway. And now I’m glad I did. One commenter pointed that the Amazon tablet would likely be as closed as the Kindle e-reader, so any openness you might [...]
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 [...]
