Viewpad 7 Available for Pre-Order in UK. Starting Price: £399

Posted on 26 October 2010

If you’ve been thinking about an Android tablet purchase over the next 2 months, these devices are probably on your list. Galaxy Tab, Dell Streak, Notion Ink Adam, Viewpad 7, Archos 70, Archos 101 and maybe the Toshiba Folio. Only 2 of them are currently available and both the Tab and the Streak are great quality products (Streak even gets a 2.2 upgrade soon) but what if you’re looking for something a little cheaper? The Viewpad 7 might be just what you’re looking for. We tested it extensively at IFA […]

HP Slate 500 Thoughts

Posted on 25 October 2010

I’m taking a look at the HP Slate 500 that was launched last week. No, not a hands-on but a quick analysis of the specifications. It looks like a great mobile Tablet PC option at a good price.

Samsung Galaxy Tab $499 without 3G (In U.S.)

Posted on 25 October 2010

Pocketables have some interesting news about the Wi-Fi-only version of the Galaxy Tab. We’re seeing a continuing slide on the prices in Europe with the UK leading on 529 pounds (592 Euros) and others, like Germany, not far behind.  The pre-tax price is 451 pounds, $709 which is a healthy chunk of money. The U.S. can expect cheaper prices than that but how about this: $499 for a Wifi-Only version at Best Buy, matching exactly the 16GB Wifi-only version of the iPad. The two devices don’t stack up as complete […]

Its going to be a great opportunity to get some hands on time with the new devices and […]

Galaxy Tab. One Week Review and Coverage Round-Up

Posted on 25 October 2010

It only seems fair to write this post on the Galaxy Tab so for the record, it is now 1943hrs and I’m sitting up in bed with a cup of tea and a packet of shortbread. I am using the device in portrait mode with the Samsung keyboard enabled along with XT9’s error correction and auto-substitution enabled. Word prediction is turned off. I’m using the WordPress application to write the post which means it will need some post processing (spell check, image inserts) on a ‘real’ PC with a ‘real’ […]

Apologies: 1K Challenge Delayed

Posted on 23 October 2010

The 1K challenge was turned upside down last week as I took delivery of the Galaxy Tab and Tega V2 and, due to a short, pre-planned (and badly needed) break with my family didn’t get as far as I planned. I apologise. As the Galaxy Tab turned up we did the live session (a huge success) and then went into doing a few videos over at Carrypad. I honestly hadn’t realised that I was one of the first and only people reporting in English so after realising my position, I […]
