A really good netvertible — that’s all we want. No, not just a netbook with a touchscreen, but a device with a combination of solid ergonomics and performance in clamshell mode that can swivel into a really responsive tablet. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask for, right? And after being disappointed by the [...]
The Archos 5 Internet Tablet just got a bit cooler. It finally has access to paid apps from the Android Market thanks to the latest firmware. This solves one of the biggest gripes we’ve heard about the small Android tablets. Previsously users could only download the free Android apps, not the preimum apps that cost [...]
Dear people who yelled at me when I said netbooks were garbage: I was right. IDC is reporting that sales of netbooks running the Atom platform are flat. Why? Well, first off people have a little cash so they want to buy something nice for themselves instead of a $350 junkbook. Competition from Netbooks that [...]
The dedicated GPS market is slowly but steadily shrinking as smartphones gain the same abilities, but yet the major players keep rolling out new devices. The TomTom Go Live 1000 bucks the trend of a semi-smart connected device and instead adds a ton of storage on top of a powerful setup to run a WebKit-based [...]
The WePad’s track record for public demonstrations isn’t great: the first time around, the iPad alternative was found to be playing a video demo rather than actually responding to direct control, prompting Neofonie to wheel out a prototype just to prove that it actually works. Happily third time is the charm, with a new press [...]
It’s the beginning of another week, and it’s already turned into a crazy roller-coaster. That’s sure to make the rest of the week just as entertaining, and we’re eagerly looking forward to it. As for tonight’s edition of the Daily Slash, in the Best of R3 we’ve got the EVO 4G getting a price, the [...]
When we first spotted the Eken M001 MID, we immediately liked its honest nature. The M001 didn’t claim to be an iPad killer, or boast ridiculous specs and decades of battery life; it was simply cheap, and proud of it. Now, Shanzai.com has discovered the tablet is exactly what we expected. Running Android 1.6 with [...]
Though “Neofonie” is the most apt name for a vaporware company we’ve heard since “Phantom,” it’s looking like that very firm’s 11.6-inch WePad tablet is actually the real deal. Fed up with all the skepticism it has received of late, the German firm just held a press conference in Berlin to show off a pair [...]
Distributor concerns and underwhelming specs meant we were slightly less than convinced by the Haleron iLet Mini HAL Android tablet, but Shanzai reckon that – in its new EKEN M001 form – the 7-inch slate actually has plenty to recommend it. A sub-$100 street price in China is no small part of that, of course, [...]
Good morning to you too, Dell! Android Central’s just gotten hold of yet another leak from the Texan computer giant, only this time we have two new Android or Linux (as the Tux icon suggests) devices. First, we have the Sparta netbook tablet featuring an 11-inch 1024 x 768 TFT display, ARM processor, optional connectivity [...]
