Sony Tablet P and Tablet S Gets Android ICS in Q2 2012
Sony is about to bring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to its tablet portfolio this spring. The company representative said at an event in London that ICS would be arriving on both the Sony Tablet S and Tablet P at the same time during spring. Sony also said that both tablets would be having a new update which would bring Microsoft Office functionality. However, the company didn't actually dwell on what this update would entail.
Sony also showed off its PlayStation Certified gaming platform on the Tablet S and announced that it is now compatible with a PlayStation controller. This means that gamers won't have to use the on-screen controls for the games on PlayStation Store. This is something that OnLive has also been trying and by all accounts using a physical controller with the tablet makes gaming experience a whole lot better.
At the event, Sony was upbeat on its recent entry on the tablet market. It thought that it had the biggest selling Android tablet over this period but was it didn't gave out any figures regarding on its sales.

Intel Unveils Two Core Ivy Bridge Embedded Processors
Looks like Intel will be adding a series of embedded processors on its Ivy Bridge CPU lineup, the i3-3217UE and i3-3120ME. The specs of two such models were recently unveiled and published online, with two computing cores and Hyper-Threading support.
The Core i3-3217UE is an ultra-low voltage CPU initially clocked at 1.6GHz, it has 3MB Level 3 cache memory, but no Turbo Boost support. The chip has an integrated HD 4000 graphics engine clocked at 350MHz, which can go as high as 900MHz when the need arises. The new Intel part is reported to replace the current Core i3-2340UE that's based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, so it sports the same 17W TDP like that of the latter chip.
The second Ivy Bridge embedded CPU, the Core i3-3120ME, is initially clocked at 2.4GHz and an identical 35W TDP as that of the i3-2310E it will replace. It incorporates an HD 4000 graphics core clocked at 650MHz, and has an L3 cache size of 3MB.
The two processors support DDR3-1600 ECC memory, Intel's VPro technology and will come in the BGA package, while their PCI Express support will be reverting back to 2.0. The two embedded CPUs should be arriving any time in the second or third quarter of 2012.

LG Promotes A540 Glasses-Free 3D Notebook
LG has done turning 3D technology more readily available in its latest A540 notebook. The A540 is one of those computers that has everything needed to make people reconsider their view that a laptop should be as thin and light as possible.
Measuring 15.6 inches, the A540 has a Full HD (1920×1080) glasses-free 3D display, with an IPS panel to boot. This means that viewing angles on this machine aren't half bad (178 degrees horizontal/vertical, or thereabouts).
Inside this notebook greets an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 central processing unit, which can be paired by up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. More importantly, this mobile PC features a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 GPU.
Additional specs include a 1TB HDD, Bluetooth 3.0, 4.1-channel audio, USB 2.0 and 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. All are in total of 2.6 kilograms (5.73 pounds) and relies on a head-tracking camera, which is placed just above the screen.
While the CPU's built-in GMA HD is enough to work for web browsing and other basic things, it can't pull its weight very well in high-resolution 3D video as well as to games. Provided, the LG A540 is sure to impress gamers when it finally starts shipping in the second quarter of 2012. Unfortunately, no price tag has been attached to it as of now.

Aakash Android Tablet Alleged to to Have Underpowered Specs
The Indian Cellular Association or ICA has criticized the Aakash tablet for having alleged substandard specifications. The Aakash tablet is a low-cost slate manufactured in India that was supposed to serve as an educational tool for students in the region. Meanwhile, ICA is an organization of mobile service providers in India that sets the standards for cellular operators and has not been consulted in the Aakash tablet's development.
Touted as the world's cheapest slate at $35 per unit, the Aakash tablet has a 7-inch resistive screen with a resolution of 800 x 600. At its core is a 366 MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, and internal storage that has a limit of 32 GB. The version intended for students has Wi-Fi connectivity, but the retail version, which sells for $70 dollars, is capable of 3G. It has a battery life of about 90 minutes.
The Aakash tablet is manufactured by the company Datawind. Datawind's CEO, Suneet Singh Tuli, explained the simple reason behind these specifications. They had to make compromises with the hardware to arrive at a low, budget-friendly price.
Yet analysts are not satisfied with this explanation and argue that such specifications are dooming the Aakash tablet to failure.
