The internet was abundant yesterday with news that Google had announced Android 2.2 or Froyo. Whilst a new version of Android with extra speed and flash support is certainly an exciting thing, for me it was over-shadowed by the news of Google TV. I know, I know, why would another box to go under the [...]

As the ZenPad and EviGroup Wallet are both coming from the same OED (SMiTs) it’s no surprise to hear that both the ZenPad and EviGroup Wallet are available at the same time. Apparently in-stock now, the 199 Euro (215 Euro for the chrome edged version as seen above) mini-tablet doesn’t come with 3G but does [...]

I feel I could already write an extended 10-page review on this potential game-changer after the marathon open-review session we broadcast on Tuesday but time is at a premium this week so let me just give you a basic but detailed review of the Compaq Airlife 100.

Meet:Mobility Podcast 50 is now available. In this show, number 50 on the 21st May 2010 we have a lot to talk about from Google IO in San Francisco to Computex in Taipei. Sasha and myself will be giving you feedback from our time with the iPad and we also talk about the netbook summit. [...]

The Enso ZenPad (AKA Evigroup Wallet) [Portal page] is now shipping from enso-now.com. Lot’s of new info about this device now that it’s shipping: Though the device is essentially a WiFi-only Android MID, it appears as though you can equip it with internal GPS for $25 on top of the starting $155 price. Additionally, it [...]

Thanks to over 500 people that stepped into the live Open Review of the Compaq Airlife 100 yesterday. We spent 2.5 hours going over the device and tested as much as we could. Thanks also to JKKMobile for joining-in via Skype and helping out. During the session we made three live recordings which are now [...]

As promised in the last post, I’ve unboxed the Compaq Airlife 100 that turned up today. It’s 20 minutes long but is detailed and shows some of the features of the device including browsing and application installing. Tonight (18th May) at 2200 CEST I’ll be doing a live session with the Airlife so please, drop [...]

This is fantastic. The Compaq Airlife 100 is sitting on my desk right now. I’m excited. It’s one of the first true smart-books / social netbooks (*1)  and a device I believe will show us exactly how touch, always-on, always connected and social networking will play a role in netbooks of the future. It will [...]

I’ve always imagined the Apple iPad to be one of the easiest purchases a Dad could make. It looks good (no more ugly laptops on the coffee table,) it can be used for multi-player games (something to bring the family together) and it can be used around the house (no more being stuck in the [...]

Not one, not two and not even three items of internet device news to update you on today. I’ve got no less than five news items here! Lets start with Dell who’s leader, Mr. Dell, has provided an update on the Mini 5. According to reports, he’s let it be know that the Dell Mini [...]

That Rockchip CPU has been turning up in a lot of devices recently. It’s a Chinese manufactured CPU based on the ARM9 design [We’re checking on that due to varying information] and clearly it’s cheap because all the devices I’ve seen with it recently have been around the $200 mark. The Archos 7 Home Tablet [...]

We highlighted last week that the EviGroup Wallet would be going into production very soon. It seems that SMiTs is also getting ready to put their design through production for Enso as the ZenPad.

My apologies to anyone who got excited when we posted our last article about Archos 7 Home Tablet availability. It turned out to be, as we suspected, a trick by an online retailer. (Mental note: Never link to these chancers again!) In a U.S. press release last week (PDF), Archos announced that the Tablet will [...]

Is it fair to be comparing a $250 5” tablet with a $500 9” one? Yes because a) people have been asking about it b) comparing anything to a device that gets people thinking, talking and experimenting is worthwhile in my book. Thanks to the German blog, TouchMeMobile I’ve got an iPad this week and [...]

JKK, Chippy and guests, Nicole Scooter (Netbook News) and Jose Ortiz (The Digital Lifestyle) talk about netbook growth, the threat and opportunity of the smartbook, HP’s Palm buyout and Intels Moorestown handheld platform. We also talk about our experiences with some of the top Android smartphones.

My name is Guy Adams and I’m an I.T consultant in Robin Hood country, deep in the heart of the UK. Chippy has asked me to join the excellent team here at www.carrypad.com as an article contributor and I hope to be bringing you some posts on the latest Mobile Internet Devices from around the [...]

Thanks to TouchMeMobile, a German website that is covering the same beat as us here at Carrypad, I’ve got an iPad to test for a week. Before I start though I had to do this. This is possibly the youngest person ever to test an iPad. 35-day old Nicklas took one look and was speechless. [...]
