The new Surface Pro is a superb 2-in-1. It’s beautifully built and performs well. The screen is excellent and even the speakers sound good. However, it’s very expensive, especially when you add the cost of the Type Cover and – if
Surface creator Panos Panay recently discussed the billion-dollar financial hit Microsoft took after the introduction of the original. “Having a product that people love is the most important thing,” he told CNN. Microsoft clearly believes that: Rather than abandoning the lineup that has cost it a billion to date, the company has tweaked and refined the Surface, introducing m
For those wanting a large screen tablet and a stock Android experience, the selection has been limited. The most common choice is Google’s Nexus 10, but unfortunately that tablet has not seen an update since its original release. Google spent more time refining their smaller Nexus 7 and left the Nexus 10 in the dust. Many have been waiting for a new Nexus 10 but have seen nothing. Recently, rumors have been spreading that Google is collaborating with HTC on a 9-inch tablet which is of course
This is a safe and mundane tablet. Rounded corners, a black bezel and a dark soft-touch back do little to make it stand out from the competition, nor does the token 2-megapixel rear camera which you probably will not want to use.
However, the Asus Transformer Pad TF103C is priced at just $399, while a comparable 10-inch tablet, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, is going for $548.
That is not bad at all. In addition, the Transformer's in-plane switching (IP
When it comes to the U.S. smartphone market, it's mostly a two-horse race. Cumulatively, and sell two out of every three smartphones, with smaller manufacturers such as HTC and Motorola fighting for what's left.
But that could change next year, when Asus brings its PadFone to the United States. The device, powered by Google's Android, is particularly revolutionary and has the potential to disrupt the mobile market.
Asus' PadFone combines a tablet with a smartpho
To some extent, ASUS is a victim of its own success: it gave the budget tablet category a boost with the original Nexus 7, and it now faces a legion of competitors in that space. The company is taking a two-step approach to maintaining its relevance. The new Nexus 7 tackles the higher end, with top-tier specs that include a 1080p display and wireless charging. Right now, though, we’re more interested in ASUS’ low-end solution, the MeMo Pad HD 7. While it’s one of the cheaper name-brand tablets
We were so busy fondling gaming machines and touchscreen Ultrabooks at CeBIT last week that we missed that tablet you see up there. That would be the Prestigio Multi 9.7, which — surprise, surprise — sports a 9.7-inch display. What’s intriguing to us (besides the fact that we’re generally obsessed with this sort of thing), is that we don’t see nearly as many budget 10-inch tablets as we do 7-inchers. As you can see in the video below, it has a nice, fingerprint-resistant rubber back, along wi
The newly released HP Slate 2 tablet PC aims to fulfill the needs of different business niches including the government, healthcare, education and retail sectors. It is particularly useful in business as it is able to be moved around allowing for some freedom in the office rather than being stuck at a desk 24/7. Its lightweight design also allows for easier mobility.
The security measures in place are state of the art ensuring data protection. There is a TPM embedded Security Chip which lock
Dell has done a very limited promotional campaign in regards to its Dell Venue phone and it will be interesting to see what the sales of this Android phone will be like. The phone officially went on sale yesterday through Dell and as a quick refresher, this phone came with a 4.1-inch WVGA AMOLED capacitive multitouch display that supports a resolution of 800×480 pixels.
Some of the features of the Dell phone include an 8MP integrated camera on the back surface as well as a trio of navigationa
This Sunday is all about Super Bowl XLV, with the Pittsburgh Steelers going against the Green Bay Packers. As Super Bowl fans would be all excited, so are Android fans. Motorola is planning to air an ad for the world’s first Android OS 3.0 (Honeycomb) powered tablet, their XOOM, during the game.
Most of you who cannot wait, Motorola has given us a small trailer of the ad which runs for 15 seconds. Check out the video:
It looks like Motorola is giving another try to take on Apple and the lack
