My contact at Elonex just sent me a bunch of stuff on their latest gadgets. They’ve recently added another 7″ e-reader and a 7″ tablet to their offerings. First up is the 705EB. This e-reader is an improved version of the 700EB that’s both thinner and lighter (but the same screen resolution). It has the [...]

Archos 10″, 8″ Arnova tablets clear the FCC
February 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · fcc, hardware news
Archos tried to sneak a pair of tablets by me yesterday. Unfortunately for us, Archos hid all the interesting details. All we know about the 10″ tablet is that it exists, the model number is A10HT-ARTo2, and it has a speaker and Wifi. The 8″ tablet, otoh, looks to be the same tablet that popped [...]
Samsung exec: ‘Tablets should be bigger than 7-inch’
February 15th, 2011 · 10 Comments · hardware news, opinion
Pocket-lint posted this story yesterday, and I almost missed it. Samsung announced the new Galaxy Tab on Sunday, and to the surprise of some it wasn’t a 7″ tablet. Now we know why. Samsung will be releasing several more tablets this year, but none of them will be 7″. “Different people have different tastes in [...]
CES: E-Fun to release 2 new Android tablets
January 10th, 2011 · No Comments · conferences & trade shows, hardware news
You might recall that about a month ago I reviewed the Next2, an Android tablet/e-reader from E-Fun. Their product reps were in Vegas because of CES (they weren’t an exhibitor), and I managed to catch a few minutes with E-Fun reps right before they left. That’s the good news. The bad news is that my [...]
CES: Gajah – e-readers, tablets, & e-readers oh my!
January 10th, 2011 · 1 Comment · conferences & trade shows, hardware news, video
Thanks to the Kindle-Nook price war this year (and the recession), you’d expect the smaller e-reader companies to cut back on their expenses. That’s why the e-reader selection was paltry this year (though I’d say it was the price war and not the recession, myself). But not Gajah. They’re doing so well that they actually [...]
A brief hands on with Opera for Tablets
January 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment · software news
I stopped by the Opera booth at Pepcom this evening. This picture shows the old Opera Mobile running on my 9″ Android tablet and the new Opera for Tablets running on a Lenovo convertible. Oh yeah, there’s also going to be a Windows 7 version. That’s new.
Velocity Micro to release 3 new Android tablets – 7″, 8″, 10″
January 5th, 2011 · 3 Comments · hardware news
All I have to go on is the press release, but wow. Look at the specs. These babies are v3.0 compatible (and the screen resolution, wowzers). I’m still waiting on pictures, and Velocity Micro doesn’t appear to be in Vegas for CES (actually, they are here). From the press release: Velocity Micro, the premier builder [...]
Amazon to release Kindle for tablets
January 4th, 2011 · 1 Comment · press release
And it’s going to be for both Android and Windows. From the press release: For over two years, Amazon has been building and introducing a wide selection of free “Buy Once, Read Everywhere” Kindle apps to enable customers to read their Kindle books on the most popular devices and platforms. Last year, Amazon tailored a [...]
eLocity to launch 7 Android tablets at CES
January 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · hardware news
Okay now things are nuts. StreamTV have announced that they will soon be shipping no less that 7 10″ Android tablets. They haven’t any details yet on what sets the 7 devices apart but we do know they’ll be running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) OS on NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPUs. They also have a camera, HDMI [...]
Opera for Tablets to be unveiled at CES
January 3rd, 2011 · 2 Comments · software news, video
Now this is interesting. Speaking as someone who already has a bunch of tablets, Opera didn’t need to release a new version. It already works just fine. In fact, I’d bet that the current versions will work better on tablets running older versions of Android OS than this new version. But if you watch the [...]
