Win a Kingston DataTraveler 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive

Kingston's DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 line of USB flash drives offer speedy transfer speeds, a sturdy case, and a fair amount of storage. They come in 32GB and 64GB capacities and offer read and write speeds of up to 150MB/s and 70MB/s, respectively.

Kingston provided Liliputing with a 64GB flash drive recently, which we're going to go ahead and give away to one lucky reader.

GV10 Android TV Box with DVB-T digital TV support

There are plenty of Android TV boxes that let you run Android apps and stream internet video to a TV. The GV10 goes a bit further and actually supports live television broadcasts, which means you can use this $99 box for all your TV needs… as long as you're in a country that supports the DVB-T digital broadcast standard.

GV10 Android TV box

AsiaPads expects to offer the GV10 soon for $99, or you can pick one up now from AliExpress for $112.

The box features an Amlogic AM8726-M3 ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and Android 4.0 software.

It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI output, WiFi, 10/100 Ethernet jack, and audio and video jacks as well as an SD card reader.

If you don't need the DVB-T support, you can probably find an Android TV box with a faster processor, more up-to-date software, or a lower price tag. But if you're looking for a model with support for live TV broadcasts, your options are a bit more limited.

Google Keep note-taking service goes live for web, Android

As expected, Google has launched a cloud-based note-taking service called Google Keep. You can sign in with your Google Account using a web browse by visiting drive.google.com/keep, or you can grab the Android app from the Google Play Store.

Google Keep

Keep lets you create a text-based note, start a list, or upload a photo. If you're using the mobile app you can also record an audio note by hitting the microphone icon — it will record an audio snippet and convert text to speech.

Notes are synchronized with your Google account, so if you take a note in your desktop web browser it will be available on your mobile device, and vice versa. Like most Google apps, everything is auto-saved every few seconds. You never have to hit a save button.

If you're using the Android app, you can also share links to websites or other content by tapping the Share button in Android. And if you have a lot of notes you can color-code them to help tell them apart and use the search button to find the ones you're looking for.

Google Keep

Overall, Google Keep seems like a decent service for jotting notes and finding them again later. But it's kind of simplistic when compared with existing solutions such as Evernote or OneNote… although I guess simplicity could be a selling point.

The bigger question, though, is do you really want to spend the next few years storing notes in Google Keep without a promise that Google will keep the service up and running indefinitely? The company has made a habit of killing off side projects such as Google Reader over the past few years… including an earlier note-taking service called Google Notebook.

Onda V818 7.9 inch Android tablet takes style cues from iPad mini

Chinese tablet maker Onda's latest device is a 7.9 inch tablet that bears a striking resemblance to Apple's 7.9 inch iPad mini. But the Onda V818 runs Android instead of iOS and it's expected to sell for about half the price of an iPad mini.

Onda-Tablet and Onda-Sale are showing a list price of $170 for the tablet, although it's not yet in stock.

Onda V818

The Onda V818 features an IPS display, an Allwinner A31S quad-core processor, PowerVR SGX 544 graphics, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage.

It has a 5MP rear camera with autofocus and a front-facing VGA camera. The tablet runs Google Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, measures 7.9″ x 5.5″ x 0.3″ and weighs about 12 ounces.

I've found conflicting details for the rest of the specs, so the tablet might have a 5-point or 10-point multitouch display, a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio display, and a 4000mAh or 5000mAh battery.

In other words, if you're a stickler for knowing what you're going to get when you open the box, you might not want to pre-order this tablet just yet.

But if you're looking for a device that you can trick your friends into thinking is a half price iPad mini, the Onda V818 certainly seems to look the part.

Ouya game console will support N64, NES, other classic console emulators

The first Ouya $99 video game consoles are expected to ship next week to customers who backed the team's Kickstarter campaign. Users will be able to download and play games on their TV using the small Android-powered game system.

While most of those games will be Android titles optimized for use with a gamepad and TV (instead of a phone or tablet with a touchscreen), you may also be able to play games that were never intended for Android at all — because the Ouya supports emulators.

Ouya video game console

Developer Paul Lamb has ported his Mupen64 emulator to the Ouya platform, which will allow users to play Nintendo64 games with an Ouya.

Other developers are also working on emulators for the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and possibly other consoles as well.

It's no surprise that you can use emulators on the Ouya. After all, folks have been designing and running game console emulators on Android phones and tablets for years. And users will be able to side-load any of those apps onto an Ouya.

But the Ouya team is also taking a pretty liberal approach toward emulators in their app store.

In a nutshell, as long as developers don't offer any copyrighted games or other content, they can distribute their apps in the Ouya store. Lamb's Mupen64 emulator, for instance, was already approved (although he needs to remove from copyrighted artwork from his screenshots and submit it again).

If you already have an Ouya (or pretty much any other Android device), you can also download the latest beta version of Mupen64 from Lamb's website.

Theoretically it's possible for folks to buy a PlayStation, Nintendo64, or other game disc or cartridge and use special hardware and software to rip a video game ROM for personal use with this sort of game emulation software. Most people don't do that. Instead they download games illegally from the internet, which is why emulators tend to hang out in a relatively gray legal area.

But it's good to know that in addition to supporting a growing number of Android games, Ouya's $99 game console will also be able to play hundreds of classic games that were always meant to be used with a TV and gamepad.

The Ouya game console features an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage and comes with a wireless game controller. While the first units should ship on March 28th, if you weren't a Kickstarter backer you'll have to wait until June to get your hands on one.

Archos Titanium 8 inch, 9.7 inch tablets now available for $169 and up

The Archos Titanium line of Android tablets feature 1.6 GHz Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 processors, ARM Mali 400 graphics, Android 4.1 software, and reasonably low prices.

Archos unveiled the tablets a few months ago, and now the first models are available in the US for $169 and up.

Archos 97 Titanium

J&R is selling the Archos 80 Titanium tablet for $169 and the Archos 97 Titanium for $249.

The Archos 80 features an 8 inch, 1024 x 768 pixel display while the Archos 97 has a high resolution 9.7 inch, 2048 x 1536 pixel screen.

Aside from the screen size and resolution, the two tablets are pretty much the same. Both feature 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, microSD card slots, 802.11n WiFi, 2MP front cameras and 5MP rear cameras with auto-focus.

The Archos 97 Titanium measures 9.4″ x 7.2″ x 0.35″ and weighs 1.4 pounds, while the 8 inch model measures 7.9″ x 6″ x 0.38″ and weighs just under 1 pound.

Archos is also expected to launch a 7 inch model for $119 and a 10.1 inch Titanium tablet for $199 soon, as well as a line of quad-core tablets under the Archos Platinum name in the coming months.

DH108A Android TV box packs a Allwinner A31 quad-core CPU

The Allwinner A31 chip is an inexpensive quad-core processor based on a low-power ARM Cortex-A7 design. It just started shipping in the past few months, and so far it's mostly been used for inexpensive Android tablets.

Now there's also a set-top-box featuring the Allwinner A31 chip.

D108A

It's called the DH108A and it's being marketed at Alibaba by a company called D&H Technology. Unfortunately there's no word on how much it will sell for just yet.

What we do know is that the device runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and features 2GB of RAM, 8GB to 16GB of storage, and 802.11n WiFi. It also has a 10/100 Ethernet jack, and 4 full-sized USB ports.

It supports HDMI output and comes with an HDMI cable so you can hook the DH108A up to a television and run Android apps on a large screen.

There are certainly faster ARM-based quad-core processors than the Allwinner A31. But it's a relatively inexpensive chip that should offer decent performance for HD video playback thanks to the PowerVR SGX544 graphics core.

Will Amazon buy Liquavista, and would that lead to color Kindles?

Amazon currently offers two types of Kindle devices. You can pick up an inexpensive Kindle with a black and white E Ink display designed primarily for reading eBooks. Or you can buy a Kindle Fire tablet which can also run apps, play movies, and do much more.

Maybe one day there will be another option: a Kindle eReader with a color display for viewing photos, comic books, magazines, and other content.

Liquavista

Bloomberg reports that Samsung is looking to sell Liquavista to Amazon. Liquavista is  a subsidiary it acquired a few years ago. It makes low power color displays that are viewable outdoors thanks to electrowetting technology.

A few months ago Nate at The Digital Reader spotted some evidence suggesting Amazon and Samsung were in talks. Now Bloomberg is citing "a person familiar with the matter" who says Samsung wants to sell Liquavista for under $100 million.

Samsung hasn't delivered any products featuring Liquavista technology since acquiring the company more than two years ago. In fact, the top story at the Liquavista website is still "Liquavista gets acquired by Samsung."

Meanwhile the market for eReaders seems to be declining (eBook sales are still high, but many people are reading them on tablets, phones or other devices).

So selling Liquavista to one of the biggest existing players in the eReader space would make sense for Samsung.

What remains to be seen is whether it makes sense for Amazon. The company has been pushing its Kindle Fire tablets to customers looking for a color eReader which can also handle music, video, and other tasks.

A color Kindle with a Liquavista display, on the other hand, would primarily be good for reading. But it might be very good for reading, since the low power display would allow for much longer battery life than you get from a Kindle Fire tablet.

Kobo releases Android 4.1 update for the Kobo Arc tablet

Kobo is offering a software update for its 7 inch tablet, bringing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the Kobo Arc. Sure, Android 4.1 is kind of last year's software… but it brings a number of new features to Kobo's $200 tablet.

Kobo Arc

While Kobo isn't as big a name in the US as competitors Amazon or Barnes & Noble, the company runs one of the largest digital bookstores in the world. But unlike NOOK and Kindle tablets, the Kobo Arc has full access to the Google Play Store.

That means in addition to purchasing books from the Kobo store, you can use the Arc tablet to download hundreds of thousands of apps from the Google Play Store including apps from Kobo competitors. Want to read Kindle books on your Kobo Arc? You can do that.

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update brings new features including:

  • Google Now 
  • Rich notifications
  • Face unlock
  • Improved search, voice recognition, and typing

Unfortunately the Kobo Arc is kind of tough to find in the US. I haven't found any online retailers selling it for the $200 list price, but oddly enough you can find a few models on sale at Amazon for $227 and up.

Archos confirms plans to enter the smartphone market this year

French tablet maker Archos could launch its first smartphones this year. The company is outlining its plans for 2013, and in addition to launching additional tablets, the company say it wants to get into the smartphone and home automation markets.

Archos logo

We'd actually first heard about the company's plans for the smartphone space last month when French blog MiniMachines reported at least 3 different Archos phones were in the works.

But I'm not sure the company has spoken publicly about its smartphone strategy until now.

It's not clear whether we'll see any Archos phones in the US though. The company tends to sell its products through retail channels rather than through wireless carriers — but most US customers still buy subsidized phones from their phone companies.

Win a Ramos W42 quad-core Android tablet

The Ramos W42 is an Android tablet with a 9.4 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display and a Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor. It's one of the fastest tablets I've had the pleasure of testing, although it's not a perfect tablet — the touchscreen isn't quite as responsive as one might like.

Pandawill sells the Ramos W42 for $240, but since the company sent me one to review I happen to have one here that you can win, free of charge!

Ramos W42

The tablet features 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, 802.11n WiFi, and a 5400mAh battery.

It runs Android 4.0 and comes with access to the Google Play Store and other Google apps.

You can check out our full review of the Ramos W42 for more details.

Archos TV Connect stops at the FCC on the way to a US launch

Archos has been offering Android tablets in the US for a few years, but the company's upcoming Archos TV Connect is something a bit different. It's designed to let you run Android apps on a TV, turning your television into a game console, web surfing machine, and internet video player.

Introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, the Archos TV connect consists of a box that sits on top of your TV and a multi-function remote control.

It's expected to hit the streets soon for about $130, and it looks like the device has passed through some regulatory hurdles — it showed up this week at FCC website this week.

Archos TV Connect

The FCC documents don't tell us much of anything we didn't know. In fact, they don't tell us much of anything at all. But it's good to see that Archos hasn't forgotten about the US. Some European reviewers have already managed to get their hands on the Archos TV Connect, but it's not yet available anywhere in the States.

The TV box features a 1.5 GHz TI OMAP 4470 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software. It connects to the HDMI port of your TV and draws power from a micro USB port.

You can connect to the internet over WiFi or using an Ethernet connection. The device also features a mic and camera which you can use to shoot video or make video calls.

Archos includes a complicated-looking remote control with a QWERTY thumb keyboard and a range of buttons, analog sticks, and d-pads which you can use to play games, move an on-screen cursor, or enter text.

While we're seeing a growing number of Android devices designed to be used with a TV, Android is still primarily designed for touchscreen devices such as phones and tablets. And that means many Android apps are designed for use with touchscreens, not remote controls or gamepads.

But Archos has tried to address that issue by including two analog sticks on the remote control. You can use them to emulate some touchscreen gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.

Cube U30GT2 benchmarks (Rockchip RK3188 tablet w/HD display)

The Cube U30GT is one of the first Android tablets to ship with a Rockchip RK3188 quad-core processor, which makes it one of the fastest Chinese tablets available to date.

It's also not a bad looking tablet, and it has a high resolution 10.1 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display. Geekbuying sells the Cube U30GT2 for $266, and the company sent me a demo unit to check out.

Cube U30GT2

I'll have a full review of this tablet soon, but I wanted to share some initial thoughts and benchmark results.

As expected, this tablet is fast. The Rockchip RK3188 processor is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip which performs at least as well in most performance tests as Samsung's Exynos 4412 quad-core chip and better than NVIDIA's Tegra 3.

u30gt_benches

In the chart above, note that the Ramos W42 tablet has an Exynos 4412 chip, while the Asus MeMO Pad ME301T and Google Nexus 7 both have NVIDIA Tegra 3 processors.

The Cube U30GT2 outperforms them all in each of the three benchmark tests I ran, including tests which look at CPU and graphics performance and data read and write speeds.

These tests aren't always indicative of real world performance, but during the few hours I've had my hands on the Cube U30GT2, I've found it to be fast and responsive when surfing the web, watching videos, and running other apps.

But I did run into one problem with the tablet so far: WiFi reception is decent, but not stellar. When sitting in my living room near my wireless router, I was able to surf the web, stream internet video, and download apps effortlessly.

In my home office on the third floor of our house I wasn't able to even login to my Google account. The tablet said it was connected to the internet, but I couldn't get online using the web browser or any other apps.

The Cube U30GT2 features 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, micro USB and micro HDMI ports, and a microSD card slot. It has a 2MP camera on the front and a 5MP camera on the back with auto-focus and an LED flash.

The tablet runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software.

Archos GamePad now available in the US for $179

The Archos GamePad is a 7 inch Android tablet with game controllers built into the sides of the case and button-mapping software that lets you use those controllers while playing Android video games.

It's been available in Europe for a few months, and now you can pick up an Archos GamePad in the US. J&R and Adorama both offer the tablet for $179 with free shipping.

Archos GamePad

The GamePad has a 1024 x 600 pixel touchscreen display, a Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor, and ARM Mali-400 graphics.

It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and features 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and a microSD card slot for expansion. There's also an HDMI port which you can use to hook up the GamePad to a TV to play games on a larger screen.

The tablet measures 9″ x 4.6″ x 0.6″ and weighs less than 12 ounces. It isn't the fastest tablet around, and it doesn't get the best battery life (one Amazon reviewer complained that the battery's only good for about 2 hours of gaming).

But it's relatively inexpensive for a 7 inch Android tablet, and it's one of the few existing models designed specifically for playing games. Or you could pick up a JXD S7300 0for $149.

Toshiba Portege Z10t tablet slips through the FCC

Toshiba sells it's latest tablets under the Excite name, while using Portege to describe the company's thin and light laptops. But the folks at Engadget noticed something interesting at the FCC website recently: A Portege tablet.

There's no telling whether the new device will be a Windows tablet, an Android machine, or something else altogether. But we do know it's called the Toshiba Portege Z10t.

toshiba portege z10t

We know we're looking at a tablet, because there are several documents that refer to the Portege Z10t as a tablet. For instance, the operational description says "This device is a Tablet PC, which operates in the 2.4 GHz & 5.0 GHz band with WLAN & Bluetooth functions."

It'll support 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, and it appears to have at least one camera. That's about all I can glean from the FCC documents, but  judging by some of the drawings, it looks like the Portege Z10t may be a slate — meaning it doesn't have a built-in keyboard.

Qualcomm shows off Snapdragon S400, promises speedy graphics

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 and 800 series processors are expected to power top-tier phones and tablets this year, including the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S IV (in some regions). But Qualcomm also has new chips aimed at more affordable phones, including the Snapdragon S200 and S400 chips.

But just because these are the company's lower-performance chips doesn't mean they're low performance.

qualcomm snapdragon 400

Qualcomm has posted a video on YouTube showing a phone with a Snapdragon 400 dual-core chip pitted against a smartphone with a "competitor's 1.2 GHz quad-core processor).

The company doesn't say which quad-core chip we're looking at. But what we do know is that the Snapdragon chip has a dual-core Krait CPU and Qualcomm Adreno 305 graphics.

It's that graphics chip that Qualcomm says helps it run (or swim, as the case may be) circles around the other phone in a test of graphics performance.

In other words, you should be able to play games, watch HD video, and perform other tasks on devices with the upcoming processor… which isn't exactly surprising, since most Android phones released in the past few years can also do all of those things.

Some folks are picking apart the video to try and figure out what the test phone is (it looks like an HTC handset on AT&T's network), but I'm betting Qualcomm just took apart an existing phone and slapped a Snapdragon 400 chip in it to test performance. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this particular phone to hit the market.

Buffalo Voltissimo USB battery pack can charge an iPhone in 15 minutes

Portable battery packs that can charge your smartphone's dead or dying battery are a dime a dozen (or pretty close, anyway). But Buffalo is charging a premium for its new Voltissimo USB charger, because it's got a few nifty tricks up its sleeve.

The Buffalo Voltissimo can fully charge an iPad battery in just 15 minutes.

Buffalo Voltissimo

That kind of speed doesn't come cheap — the Voltissimo sells for about $190 and up in Japan.

Buffalo will offer two models, a 4000mAh version and a model with a higher-capacity 8000mAh battery which can fully charge an iPhone up to 4 times.

You can also use them to charge other phones or tablets and pretty much anything that can draw power from a USB port.

Not only can you recharge a mobile device quickly with a Voltissimo, the device's built-in battery also recharges pretty quickly. Buffalo says it should take about 47 minutes to charge the 4000mAh model, and twice as long to charge the 8000mAh version.

There's no word on if or when the Buffalo Voltissimo will be available outside of Japan.
