On Monday, AT&T announced that it will offer the Acer Iconia Tab, Android Honeycomb tablet on September 18th, 2011. The device is a beauty to look at, and even though it is bigger than the iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, we doubt many consumers would be turned off by that.
In just a short few months, the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is no longer the thinnest tablet out on the market. That crown now falls to the Toshiba AT200, a tablet with Android 3.2 and a beautifully sexy design.
Good news for those who care. The most feature rich and powerful web browser is making its way to a tablet near you, and it is looking damn fine. The design is not exactly unique, but Mozilla managed to keep it looking different enough so you can tell that this is Firefox.
Do you love rumors? Well gosh golly, so do we. Many were prepping the iPad 3 for a 2011 launch, but if you ask us, we would tell you how stupid that is. It makes no sense for Apple to launch two tablets in the same calendar year. Anyway, the newest rumor pegs the iPad 3 for an early 2012 launch, let us wait and see how well that plays out.
And so it ends. HP webOS was one of the better mobile platforms that had the potential from day one to become more than what it was, however, it was never to be. According to HP today, the company stated that it would discontinue its task on getting webOS on devices to compete with the competition and focus on the value of the software going.
Since the past few days, we have been hearing on the release of the Iconia Tab A100 tablet in Europe and Australia, later on in the U.S, but something unexpected just took place. The Iconia tab A100 has just been spotted at an online retailer SuperBiiz which displays the item in stock and available for purchase for $349.99. (more…)
Those of you in the EU who were planning on picking up one of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets…are out of luck, I’m afraid. Yesterday, a German court made the decision to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the European union. The reason? Apparently, its design/GUI are too similar to the iPad’s.
So, I’ve got some….news. The Dell Streak 5 went quietly into that good night. From the looks of things, Dell quietly nixed the tablet at some point in the last few days- no press release or anything. Most of you are probably still trying to figure out what the Streak 5 is, aren’t you?
