Lenovo IdeaTab S2110A Tablet Tested at the FCC

Now that Lenovo IdeaTab S2110A had made an appearance, a lot then are in confusion regarding with the previous prototype shown under the name of IdeaTab S210 running in Intel Medfield processor. The just released tablet was shown first at the FCC website. However, as many of the manufacturers would say, it should not to be confused with the prototype.

First and foremost, the Lenovo IdeaTab S2110A's dimensions  are 10.2' x 7" x 0.34' and weighs about 1.3 pounds. The keyboard dock on the other hand is within the measurements of 10.2" x 7.5" x .39'; having the same weight of 1.3 pounds. So if both are to be weighed together, these will sum up just the same with the netbooks'.

Talking about the screen resolutions, the good part to start is its a 10.1-incher tablet with fair 1280 x 800-pixel display. It has an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, an integrated Bluetooth plus an optional 3G as well. Apart from the previously mentioned specs are the micro HDMI connector, a micro USB port, front and rear cameras, and of course the 2-cell, 23.4 Whr battery.

The tablet is expected to be available with 1  GB of DDR2 memory and 16 GB to 64 GB storage. An optional keyboard docking station can be as well offered adding up the 2 USB 2.0 ports. As with the price, there is no additional information yet.

Arch Linux on a $66 WM8650 netbook

WM8650 netbook with Arch LinuxOver the past few years I've seen a lot of inexpensive netbooks with low power ARM-based processors running Android, Windows CE, or other light-weight operating systems. Normally I don't pay much attention, because these cheap little devices can't run Windows and aren't as fast as most netbooks with Intel or AMD chips. But it turns out that these little guys...

Vizio Unleashed lts First Ultrabooks

Inexpensive televisions are the words that best describe Vizio. Now that they are as well entering into the computer space, their tag line might however, already be forfeited as their first line of laptops that aren't exactly that cheap.

Vizio laptop models vary with sizes with their own specifications. Starting with their 14-inch model, that has a 1600 x 900 pixels resolution display. On the other hand, the 15.6-inch model is equipped with 1920 x 1080-pixel display. Both notebook PCs are less than 0.33 inch think functioning under Intel third generation Core series processors and as well Intel HD 400 graphics.

Expect for a starting price of around $900 which obviously can be intimidating especially to brands that are yet starting with the particular market. Perhaps, Vizio's new ultrabooks are competitive enough to stand beside other brands like Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, HP and Samsung. Nonetheless, they might also be needing some push points through premium features of high resolution displays to blend in with the rest of more expensive and known ultrabooks.

Lenovo Presents its LePad A2107 Dual-SIM Tablet

When it comes to tablets, manufacturers are doing their best to produce the highest features ranging from the best chipsets down to highest screen resolutions. But Lenovo has figured out the other way around with their launch of LePad A2107.

The LePad A2107 must be indeed the world's first and record breaking dual-SIM Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet.

Other than that, standard features are there to expect. The specs are the same as usual offering both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity in a 7-inch 1024 x 600-pixel screen touch display. Hence, the dual-SIM is just the highlight of the launch however, during its introduction in the Chinese market completed with two SIM cards.

This new Lenovo LePad consists of GH single-core MTK6575 processor with 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and micro-SD slot for added space expansion. It runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. It is as well equipped with 3 MP rear camera plus a video chatting front camera.

It measures 11.5 mm which is obviously not considered to be the thinnest nor the thickest slate. Its battery on the other hand is 3,550 mAh which is capable of 10 hours continuous usage.

Android 4.0.3 Update for Sony's Tablets P and S Now Available

For Sony Tablet P and Tablet S users, be ready for a refreshing update this summer as Android 4.0.3 is now available for both P and S slates. The update is just getting better with more new features and Sony apps. But as Sony has promised, it doesn't end there because there is more yet to uncover especially the streamlined user interface of drag and drop folder creation for a better multi-tasking and browser.

Furthermore, access is as well getting broader with the full-sized SD card and those who are used on Small Apps due to enhanced photo viewing options. But the most unique added feature is the ease in creating folder on the workspace. A simple drag and drop gesture for that and the ability to dismiss recently used apps with only a matter of single swipe via the multi-tasking section.

But the browser isn't left unnoticed as it is as well created to be more responsive because users are now allowed to toggle between desktop and mobile optimized websites. In fact, they can even save pages for offline reading.

And the update goes on and on including the top launcher icon, Remote control feature, calculator apps, increased camera area speed and photo solutions. Plus the free Super Stardust game is an interesting app you would want to check out.

Microsoft Working on Its Own Tablet?

The time has finally come for Microsoft as they soon to serve up their very own piece in the booming tablet market. The announcement is scheduled to be held this coming Monday in an event in Los Angeles which then considered as to be a major one centering on their tablet strategy.

This might be the best move for Microsoft given the fact that they typically design both hardware and software with efforts to best compete against Apple's strengths. Their tablets are expected run on ARM-based chips as well on traditional PC processors.

Although this could indeed be a better match with Apple's tight integration, their intention is yet unclear. Rumors are likewise spreading that their energy would focus more around Android but would be tougher in the case of Google as they are doing the same as well.

Nonetheless, for the observed years, Microsoft has done quite an experimentation in the variety of approaches of creating other tech line like the Zune which unsuccessfully competed with iPod. Hopefully, Microsoft's new venture for their own tablet line would end up being successful though.

Galaxy Note 10.1 briefly available to pre-order

For a short time, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was available to pre-order through Amazon.com for $549. The listing however was promptly removed.

As well as the asking price for the tablet being made public, Amazon also cited a delivery date of 3 to 5 weeks. The listing also appeared to indicate that Samsung had indeed swapped the processor to a quad core one, instead of a dual core processor.

Those who were able to pre-order the Samsung tablet before the page was removed have had their orders cancelled. A Samsung representative told Slashgear that the final pricing and availability is currently still to be announced, so what information that was published by Amazon is not entirely accurate.

"The Note 10.1 is NOT available for pre-order, and in fact we have not yet announced final details, timing or pricing for this product. The information Amazon published is also not entirely accurate. Samsung does appreciate all the interest and excitement about this upcoming offering and we will have more details to share soon."

Next-Gen MacBook Pro to Have Retina Display

Where else would the great news always come from other than Apple? This time, their laptops are about to come with "Retina" displays. It means that there would be a great difference of the screen pixels if seen up close or at arm's length.

The other side of it, good news can't always be good news as this "Retina" display doesn't come cheap. The first one from Apple with 220 pixels per inch would take record as the next-generation MacBook Pro. In only a matter of 15-inch laptop dimension, it stretches more with the price starting around $2199.

But of course the price wouldn't be that high just for the display specs. It runs at 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT650M graphics, an 8GB of RAM plus a 256 GB Solid State Disk. All these are encased in 0.71 inches thick with a weight less than 4.5 pounds. The battery life on the other hand seems to be not a problem since it is capable to withstand for as long as long 7 hours.

Along with this is as well the revelation of the new MacBook Air models priced initially at $999. However, no high-resolution displays is there to offer yet.

ASUS Padfone Now Up in the US

A whopping $800 for a mobile phone docked in a tablet, this is what ASUS Padfone costs. It is already available in the US, through Negri Electronics. The Padfone made its first appearance in Taipei during Computex.

Instead of buying a separate tablet, mobile phone and notebook computer to store various files and media, ASUS banked on the idea in making the Padfone. The tablet could to be used for applications that require a bigger screen, as a charging dock for the smartphone or to extend its battery life.

The phone has the following specs: 4.3- inch, 960 x 540 pixels Super AMOLED display, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor plus a 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB to 64 GB of storage. It runs on Google Android 4.0 Operating System. It is as well sports an 8MP rear camera and a front-facing VGA built-in cam.

The Padfone also ships with keyboard dock, to give your tablet that feeling of using an Android netbook. But the Asus Padfone being sold in the grey market doesn't have this. So you might think twice in shelling out that kind of money, because not all of the peripherals are included even the Bluetooth headset is not.

There is no word yet when this gadget will be officially released.

Android Book is A MacBook Air Look Alike

Consumers who like the look of a Macbook Air but don't appreciate its expensive price tag may still have hope. At Computex in Taipei, a Macbook Air clone called the Android Book was recently spotted.

Obviously, from its name, this device not running OS X, but has Android OS, more specifically Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Judging from its appearance, it is a pretty convincing dupe of the MacBook Air, even replicating the Apple device's brushed aluminum lid and the magnetic connector. Even its display has the exact same measurement as the MacBook Air, which is 13.3 inches diagonally.

Apart from the OS, however, its other features are very different from the ones on the original notebook. Inside, this device is packed with a 1.2 GHz A10 processor. Users may choose from among three solid state disk capacities for the internal storage: 8, 16, or 32 GB.

This Macbook Air lookalike will hit the market for $149. Of course, for those who prefer Microsoft to Android, there is also a Windows version available. This device, for its part, runs on an Intel Cedar Trail N2600 or N2800 processor, possesses internal storage with a capacity of 16 GB to 128 GB, and will retail at the higher price of $175.

For those who want a Macbook Air dupe, it is probably best to order one now since Apple will soon likely get a court order that will remove these off the shelves.
