  • To quote CNET’s Molly Wood on the Nexus Prime “this takes the mobile arms race and turns it into global thermonuclear warfare, in a good way.” Though she was talking about the rumored Nexus Prime, I feel she would say the same about this totally amazing rumor, that we really hope turns to fact soon. Motorola could have an Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) tablet in the works. Now that’s exciting in and of it’s self, but lets look a bit deeper. This tablet could be packing a retina display murdering resolution of 2048×1536 (yes it 4:3, but this would be insane). Plus it apparently will be powered by...

  • Upon the release of the iPad,  both the first and second iterations, many websites and people themselves were calling the device a giant iPod Touch. Those people had legitimate reasoning: It ran a very similar operating system to the iPhone and iPod Touch, and really didn’t have a lot more functionality. But one thing it did have was a higher resolution display and a much more complex and intense SDK, the latter which really made use of the screen real-estate the iPad had (and of course, still has). Go into the App Store, and it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll find applications for the iPad that its smartphone counterpart doesn’t have, such as a Photoshop extension...

  • At Mobile World Congress, it was the Flyer. This entire year, it was the rumored HTC Verdi. Now, we can add another tablet to the list: the HTC Puccini. Pictured above, it is a 10″ Honeycomb tablet that will run on AT&T’s network, with a 4G antenna onboard. Although it is just a rumor currently, it may be out at the end of the year. Scribe, 4G, and the amazing HTC Sense UI will all be onboard, you can bet on that. Nicolas Wiggins Android Correspondent Source:

  • Best Buy is the exclusive retailer for the nice 7″ Flyer by HTC, and they are going to start the pre-orders tomorrow for about $500. This tablet, although small, Android 2.3, and ran by a single core processor, is actually really good. HTC has added Scribe, which allows you to use a capacitive stylus and get a lot of use out of it. And don’t forget, HTC partnered with OnLive to give you on-the-go gaming, with a large selection of games from almost every console ever created. Furthermore, the device will be updated to Honeycomb in the future, no idea how HTC is going to keep Sense intact, though. Just...

  • Its about time. After tracking rumors that changed every hour, for weeks on end. We decided to wait for some real information regarding the Motorola XOOM, and now we have it. Motorola is confirming the XOOM WiFi only version for a March 27 release. What’s nice is, we finally know the price of the 3G-less tablet, a nice $599. Its nice to see Motorla make this cut in price, this way it might stand a chance against iPad 2… Wait, that’s already out, and I already own one. I’m glad for you Moto, that you managed to get this out the door, but you should have released it five or...

A lot of you know how I feel about iOS, wether from a rant or from general commentary.

  • Ladies and gentleman, I’d like to welcome you to 2011, the year of tablets. Yes, we have reached that point now where we can simply pick up something lighter than a newspaper but filled with millions times more information. The most recent release in the crop of these is the iPad 2. It builds on the wild success of the last generation iPad but while still keeping it’s awesome form factor. Let’s break this down, and do a little, shall we say, editorial of how this and other tablet’s create some of the most interesting products of the 2011 decade.

  • I know a few people have been heading out and getting that nice new XOOM. But if your waiting for pay day or still on the fence from all the rumors and uncertainty, then these facts should help. Verizon does NOT require a contract. You can choose to pay full retail ($800) and use month to month data. Best Buy is informing people that an activation is no longer required. It was rumored that contract or not you would have to pay for 1 month of data and an activation fee to use WiFi on the device. Best Buy will not however meet the price that Verizon is offering on...

  • Thank you for listening Verizon. Thank you for not making us get iPad 2. Thats right, Verizon has just announced the pricing and availability for the Motorola XOOM. We will see the Android 3.0, LTE capable tablet on February 24 with some decent pricing. We are looking at $599 on a two year contract or $799 at full retail, no contract. Were not sure if 1 month of data is still required to unlock WiFi on the $799 model but you can assume that it is. I can say that I will be standing proudly in line on Thursday handing over my cash. You? Press release after the break.

    Official: Motorola XOOM Feb 24 for $599 On Contract or $799 Off.
