Is Samsung filling out Galaxy Note line with a 7 inch model?

Samsung has always taken a shotgun approach to Android phones and tablets. The company offers phones, portable media players, and tablets in a range of sizes — sometimes with devices that are barely distinguishable from one another (Do we really need tablets with 7, 7.7, 8.9, and 10.1 inch screens?)

But so far the company has only offered two versions of the Galaxy Note at a time: A large phone-sized model with a 5+ inch screen and a 10.1 inch model. Now it looks like the company could be preparing a 7 inch model as well… or at least some sort of new model.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Note is distinguished by the "S Pen" stylus that comes with it. Both the phone and tablet models include these pressure-sensitive pens which you can use to write or draw on the screen, as well as apps for drawing, taking notes, and doing more.

Each Galaxy Note released to date has had a model number of GT-Nxxx, so when a GT-N5100 device popped up at the DLNA testing site last month, the folks at SamMobile took notice.

Now SamMobile has spotted some more info about the device — this time at the GLBenchmark site.

While there's no mention of screen size, the benchmark info shows a device running Android 4.1.2 with a 1.6 GHz processor (likely a Samsung Exynos 4412) and a 1280 x 800 pixel display.

Since 7 inch tablets are all the rage these days… and since Samsung doesn't currently have a 7 inch Note, it seems like an obvious hole in the lineup for the company to fill.

On the other hand, for all we know this could be a model with a 4 inch or 13 inch screen.

Acer Iconia B1 tablet to sell for around $99... in developing markets

Acer's new 7 inch tablet is expected to launch early next year — and according to the Wall Street Journal, it will sell for around $99. At that price it will be competitive with low-cost tablets from white box Chinese device makers… but like those tablets, Acer plans to sell its $99 tablet primarily in emerging markets including China.

In other words, while the Acer Iconia B1 passed through the FCC website recently, it's not clear that Acer has any plans to sell this budget tablet in the US.

Acer Iconia B1

The Acer Iconia B1 is expected to have a 1.2 GHz processor (possibly manufactured by MediaTek), PowerVR SGX 531 graphics, and a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display.

While those specs are pretty underwhelming by 2012/2013 standards, they should be enough to offer a decent tablet experience. It wasn't that long ago that most 7 inch tablets had slower processors and similar (or lower) screen resolutions.

The WSJ reports that Acer also plans to launch a lower-cost Windows 8 tablet next year. The company's current offerings start at $499.

Archos FamilyPad 2 big-screen tablet already in the works?

The Archos FamilyPad tablet with a 13 inch display has only been available since November — and only in Europe. But it looks like Archos may already be working on a second-generation FamilyPad tablet.

Test scores for a tablet called the Archos FamilyPad 2 showed up at the GLBenchmark website recently.

Archos FamilyPad 2

Source: GLBenchmark

According to the benchmarking site, the tablet features a 1.6 GHz processor, as 12800 x 800 pixel display, and runs Google Android 4.1.1. And if the new tablet is anything like the original FamilyPad, it will probably have a large 13.3 inch screen.

Archos is positioning its FamilyPad tablets as large devices that you can use around the home for watching videos, playing multiplayer games, or performing other activities where more than one person might want to see or use the tablet at the same time.

The original FamilyPad also comes with a stand which you can use to prop it up while reading recipes int the kitchen or watching videos in the living room. Since that table weighs 2.9 pounds, the stand sounds like a pretty good idea.

It's not yet clear how heavy the new model will be, but the folks at ArcTablet did some digging and think they've found some more specs, suggesting the tablet will have a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, 802.11n WiFi, front and rear cameras, HDMI output, and a 10500mAh battery.

If that's true, then the biggest changes over the original FamilyPad will be the addition of a faster processor and update from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1.

Ramos W32 tablet features Intel Medfield CPU, Android 4.0 software

Chinese tablet maker Ramos is preparing to launch one of the first Android tablets featuring an Intel Atom Z2460 Medfield processor. That's a 1.6 GHz x86 processor with PowerVR SGX540 graphics, which so far we've only seen in smartphones, not tablets.

PandaWill is taking pre-orders for the Ramos W32 for $288 and expects it to ship in early January. A number of AliExpress sellers are also taking orders.

Ramos W32

The Ramos W32 features a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display with a 170 degree viewing angle (something that's not always a given on Chinese tablets), 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage.

It runs Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich… which is a little behind the times. But the tablet will still be one of the first devices with a Medfield processor to run anything newer than Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The tablet has a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a 5-point capacitive touchscreen, 802.11n WiFi, a micro USB port, 3.5mm headset jack, and a microSD card slot.

It has a 5400mAh battery which is reportedly good for 6 to 7 hours of battery life.

The Ramos W32 measures 10.2″ 6.5″  x 0.37″ and weighs 1.2 pounds.

I discovered the tablet through CNX-Software this weekend, but apparently Ramos has been showing off the W32 for a few months. A couple of YouTube videos showing the tablet in action popped up in October.

They seem to show a tablet with decent performance — while the Intel x86 processor is the tablet's most unusual feature, odds are most people could pick up the Ramos W32 and use it without realizing it has an Intel chip instead of a mid-level ARM-based processor.

Acer Brings Out Iconia B1 Tablet for $99

Acer Iconia B1 Tablet

Acer is off the hook in the market with its new 7-inch tablet. Rumor has it that this device is to rock on early next year. Moreover, as accorded by the Wall Street Journal, said device from Acer will be sold for $99. In that range, it will be competitive with low-cost tablets from white box Chinese device makers. But akin to those tablets, Acer plans to sell its $99 tablet primarily in emerging markets including China.

Putting it on other phrase, at the same time as the Acer Iconia B1 conceded through the FCC website freshly, it is not lucid that Acer has any plans to sell this budget tablet in the US.

The Acer Iconia B1h is predicted to have a 1.2 GHz processor. It was rumored to be possibly manufactured by the MediaTek. Also, it has a PowerVR SGX 531 graphics, and a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display.

Such specifications, as per the standards established by 2012 and brought about through 2013, are quite described as understatement. Nonetheless, they are enough to give one a decent tablet experience. More so that it was not really that long ago that most 7-inch tablets had slower processors and similar or lower screen resolutions break through.

WSJ reported that Acer plans to launch a low power cost Windows 8 tablet next year. Moreover, prices start at $499.

glbenchmark confirms Samsung GT-N5100 Device

Samsung

Each passing day, Samsung has been growing to be one of the most acclaimed and applauded manufacturer and producer of tablet. These days, it continues to provide one of the best slates. It is of the great knowledge for analyst and economists in the technological world that when we speak of a tablet which gives you the advancement you need, Samsung has something for you.

As accorded by the glbenchmark, the Samsung GT-N5100 is on the option of being equipped with a Exynos 4412 processor. Said device is of a 1280 x 800 resolution. The Samsung GT-N5100 is of the same resolution display with the current Galaxy Tab 7.7.

N5100 of Samsung is to operate with an Android 4.1.2 which happens to be the latest version that Samsung has as of the moment. As every detail is upgradable, a 4.2 upgrade program will be pictured to be available later.

If glbenchmark results that this device will be the next version of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will be proven to be a fact, it will be saddening to know that such is not a special on-screen resolution.

Moreover, it is more unfortunate to know that the current Galaxy Tab 7.7 will not be receiving an Android 4.1.2.

Codenamed ASUS P1801-T Seen At The FCC

ASUS device at FCC

The FCC website has been the geek to peek on the latest and the coolest on the market enterprise in the technological world. It is pictured to have been the revealing source of nothing but model number hints on newest. This leaves the market industry with the newest lead from Acer, the ASUS P1801-T.

The ASUS P1801-T is a "tablet" which was said to be the final version of the Transformer AiO prototype. This Transformer AiO is the model number which is a possible clue. The ASUS' Eee Slate B121 has a 12.1-inch panel. With these, Asus P1801-T may point to this particular device as having an 18 inches screen.

Moreover, the ASUS' dual-OS prototype all-in-one is the only tablet seen with roughly that many inches, it is presumed that the company is to get a paperwork done before a proper launch at CES 2013. Furthermore, as per latest GLBenchmark report, P1801 of Asus is running Android 4.1 OS. It is packed with Tegra3 graphics, a 1,920 x 1080 graphics and a Cortex-A9 CPU inside.

With the latest news, it has been said that the original PR from Computex 2012 provided that the tablet portion could also "become a wireless display for the AiO PC," which could refer to a fact that the base unit is full-fledged Windows 8 machine with x86 hardware, making it a very enticing idea.

Algiz XRW rugged netbook with Intel Atom N2600 on the way

The Algiz XRW from Handheld is a rugged netbook with a 10 inch display, an Intel Atom processor, and the ability to withstand a number of very rough environments. It can operate in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit, or as hot as 131 degrees. You can use it at high altitudes. And it's designed withstand drops.

Handheld currently offers a model with an Intel Atom Z550 processor, but a new model with a higher-performance Intel Atom N2600 chip showed up at the FCC website this week.

Handheld Algiz XRW

The new Algiz XRW has a 1366 x 768 pixel display with a resistive touchscreen. While resistive panels aren't all that popular in consumer tablets and laptops, they have advantages for rugged machines — you can use them easily while wearing gloves, for instance.

The laptop has a range of ports including Ethernet, VGA, RS232, USB, and SD card ports, and pogo-pins for a docking station.

It has 2GB of RAM and a 64GB solid state disk, a webcam, and space for an optional 3G module and SIM card. The notebook has a 5200mAh 57.72 Whr battery.

This isn't the sort of netbook you pick up for use at the local coffee shop. Instead it's designed for folks that work outside including military, utility, or forestry works … or perhaps folks making expeditions to the Arctic.

So while there's no price mentioned in the FCC documents, I'd expect the new Algiz XRW to run several thousand dollars… much like the current model.

But it's still nice to see someone making 10 inch mini-laptops… even if they have super-rugged cases and weigh more than 3 pounds.

Asus VivoBook X202E touchscreen notebook review

Asus has been offering affordable portable notebooks for a while. The company practically invented the netbook by introducing the first Eee PC mini-laptop in 2007.

Now that netbooks are out of fashion, Asus is taking a few different approaches to the affordable portable space. Asus is one of the biggest players in the Android tablet space. The company recently introduced a line of Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets. And then there's the VivoBook line of notebooks.

Asus VivoBook X202E touchscreen

The Asus VivBook X202E is an 11.6 inch, 3 pound notebook that sells for as little as $499. It's not quite thin enough to be called an ultrabook — and it doesn't have a solid state disk, which is another ultrabook requirement. But with an Intel Core i3 Ivy Bridge processor it's a pretty zippy little notebook.

It also has a built-in touchscreen display, which comes in handy when using the new touch-friendly Windows 8 user interface. The X202E also happens to be one of the cheapest touchscreen notebooks on the market.

That's a bit of a mixed blessing. The screen has an unusually large bezel… and wobbles a bit when you touch it. If Asus skimped on anything else, it might have been the battery. The notebook gets lackluster battery life, and the battery isn't user replaceable.

Still, if you're looking for an inexpensive (and portable) Windows 8 notebook with a touchscreen, the Asus VivoBook X202E may be one of the best options around.

Overview

Asus loaned me a VivoBook X202E for the purposes of this review. It features an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel touchscreen display, an Intel Core i3-3217U Ivy Bridge processor, Intel HD 4000 graphics, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive which, for some reason, is divided into two 250GB partitions.

The notebook features 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 10/100 Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, an SDHC card slot, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 1 USB 3.0 port. There's a front-facing VGA camera, a headset jack, and VGA and HDMI ports.

angle_01

The VivoBook X202E measures 11.9″ x 7.9″ x 0.9″ and weighs about 2.9 pounds. It has a 38Whr battery, which Asus says should last for about 4 hours, which is about what I managed to eke out in my tests — although you'll probably run down the battery more quickly by watching videos or playing 3D games.

Asus ships the laptop with Windows 8 64-bit, and you can use the touchpad, touchscreen or an external pointing device to navigate the Windows 8 user interface.

Design

While the Asus VivoBook X202E has some premium features such as a touchscreen display, a light-weight case (made of metal and plastic), and an Ivy Bridge CPU, this notebook clearly isn't in the same class as a high-end ultrabook.

At nearly an inch thick, it's a bit too chunky to be called an ultrabook. You don't get a backlit keyboard. And while premium touchscreen devices tend to have edge-to-edge glass to support Windows 8 gestures that involve swiping from the edge, the VivoBook X202E does not.

angle_02

Instead the display is surrounded by a plastic rim — and there's an extra-wide bezel around the display area, which gives you room to swipe from the edges of the screen.

The result is that while the VivoBook X202E has an 11.6 inch display, it's a little larger than some other notebooks with similar screen sizes. In fact, the laptop is a little wider than the 12.1 inch Asus UL20A notebook I bought in 2009.

Front: Asus VivoBook X202E / Back: Asus UL20A

That's not to say that the X202E is extraordinarily large or unwieldy. Its just a tad wider than you might expect an 11.6 inch notebook to be thanks to that extra-large bezel.

Asus also made sure to include an extra-large touchpad below the keyboard, giving you plenty of room to perform Windows 8 gestures including two-finger scrolling, 4-finger app switching, and swiping-from the edge (much the same way you would with the touchscreen).

Unfortunately I found the touchpad sensitivity to be a bit hit-or-miss. It's certainly not th

CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies brings custom Android 4.2 to more devices

The CyanogenMod team is now offering nightly builds of CM10.1 for more than a half dozen devices including most Google Nexus phones and tablets and a few additional devices such as the Samsung Galaxy line of phones and the Asus Transformer Pad.

CyanogenMod 10.1 is a custom version of Google Android 4.2 which includes performance and behavior tweaks. More importantly, it offers an unofficial software update for devices that may not always get the latest features directly from the manufacturer.

CyanogenMod logo

At this point, most of the devices that have official CyanogenMod builds are Nexus devices -- which means you can also download Android 4.2 directly from Google. But CyanogenMod gives users more control over their devices -- and if you happen to have another supported device then CM10.1 saves you from waiting for your phone maker or wireless carrier to offer an official update.

Bear in mind, right now we're talking about "nightly" releases, not stable or even beta releases. That means you shouldn't be surprised if you find bugs or performance issues.

But the only major issue the CyanogenMod team is warning about right now is that if you upgrade from CM10 to CM10.1 the clock app may behave erratically. You can fix this by hitting the "clear data" option for the Clock app in the Settings -> Apps menu.

As of December 17th, CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies are available for the following devices.

  • Google Nexus 10
  • Google Nexus 7
  • Google Nexus 4
  • Samsung Galaxy Nexus
  • Samsung Galaxy S
  • Samsung Galaxy S III International, T-Mobile, AT&T
  • Samsung Galasy S II International
  • Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T

Additional devices should be added to that list in the coming weeks and months.

After updating or installing CyanogenMod 10.1, you'll also probably want to install the latest gApps package which includes the Google Play Store, Gmail app, and other software. The latest build if 20121212 and it's available for download from the CyanogenMod wiki and from goo.im.

Asus Taichi 21 dual-screen notebook hits the FCC

The Asus Taichi 21 is an unusual notebook with two screens: one on either side of the lid. With the lid up, the Taichi looks like a typical 11.6 inch notebook. Close the lid and it looks like a slightly bulky Windows 8 tablet.

Asus hopes to ship the dual-screen notebook by the end of the year, and this week the Asus Taichi 21 slipped through the FCC website on its way to store shelves.

Asus Taichi 21

There aren't a lot of surprises in the FCC documents. Asus has been showing off the tablet for a while and we already know it has a starting price of $1299, an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, up to 256GB of storage, and two 1920 x 1080 pixel displays.

You can use one screen at a time, display the same content on both, or display different content on each screen. That means you can set up the laptop on a tablet and play a game or write a document on one screen while someone sitting across from you watches a presentation or a movie.

Only the screen on the lid has a touch panel. The screen that faces the keyboard is just a normal display.

The FCC photos do confirm that the laptop has a 35 Whr, 3200mAh battery. Asus says the Taichi 21 should get up to 5 hours of battery life.

Pi Store is an app store for the Raspberry Pi mini-computer

The Raspberry Pi is a tiny, inexpensive computer which has been making waves since it launched earlier this year. The price is part of the appeal: you can pick up a model B for $35, or a stripped-down model A for $25.

But another thing that makes the Raspberry Pi exciting is its open nature. It can handle a range of open source operating systems and run thousands of apps. Now the folks behind the little computer are trying to make it easier to find some of those apps in one place.

Raspberry Pi Store

Raspberry Pi, IndieCity, and Velocix have launched the Pi Store, a place to download games, utilities, and other apps.

At launch the pickings are kind of slim. There are 23 apps available. The good news is that most are available for free. The Pi Store also supports paid apps though. There's also a tip jar for folks that want to donate to support the developers of free apps.

The Raspberry Pi project was initially designed as a way to get low-cost computers into the hands of students, and in keeping with that, the founders of the new store are hoping the Pi Store gives young folks a chance to create software and share it with a large audience.

Anyone can submit apps to the store -- but the Pi Store is moderated, which means that apps can be rejected.

The Pi Store will also distribute books, magazines, and other content in addition to software.

You can browse the store by visiting store.raspberrypi.com in a web browser. Or if you want to use the store on a Raspberry Pi computer, you can download a version of the Raspbian Linux operating system with the store included or install the "pistore" package using apt-get.

More details are available at the Raspberry Pi blog.
