Following the official unveiling of the Tablet P and Tablet S (formerly the S1 and S2) at IFA this morning, Sony now has official pricing and release dates available online. Right now you can go to SonyStyle.com and pre-order the Tablet S (the single-screened one) in its 16GB flavor starting at $499 (to match the [...]

Step inside for some fresh photos of the Sony Table S (formerly S1).

Following the annoucenement here at IFA I managed to get some hands-on with the Sony Tablet P and Tablet S.

‘Proving that it’s not who makes it first but who makes it better’ Kazuo Hirai announced two tablets at their IFA press conference today. We were at the announcement and watched the presentation.

Update: There’s been an important new development to this story. See here. Tomorrow (September 1st) the AndyPad and AndyPad Pro, new low-cost entries into the Android tablet world, are launching. The devices are already attractive thanks to their low price and now they’ve become a much more serious contender thanks to official Android Market access, a [...]

Samsung accidentally packed revealing information in an Android app that was being used to promote their presence at this year’s IFA. Among the information revealed is the names of three devices, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, the Galaxy Note, and the Samsung Wave 3. Presumably the app was designed to unveil that information after IFA [...]

Not long ago, some internal information had apparently been leaked showing that the Droid Bionic, among other devices, would be launched on September 8th. The official Droid Bionic twitter account has now confirmed that date. The story of the Droid Bionic is a rather interesting one. The phone was announced ages ago (in tech-world time, [...]

Asus’ Transformer model has been noted for its overall quality, design and its uniqueness, particularly with its detachable keyboard. Asus have taken this concept one step further and asks the question – if the keyboard component worked so well on the Transformer, would an integrated keyboard in a tablet be just as successful? The answer is a resounding yes, though with some caveats, mostly related to bulkiness and weight. But if you’re willing to put up with a thicker, heavier unit, and expect to do a fair bit of emails, documents and any other types of data entry that needs a keyboard, this unit could be your answer.

Last Thursday afternoon, the mobile and PC world was (moderately) shocked by Hewlett-Packard’s announcement that they were considering “all strategic options” for contending with the negative impact the HP Personal Systems Group (PSG) was having on the corporation’s total valuation. Key in this consideration will be the eventual fate of WebOS, the mobile OS that [...]

Once upon a time, Sony made some really amazing handheld devices. Sadly, it seems that they’ve lost their imagination and creativity, and haven’t wowed us with anything in a good many years. Sure, they’ve got a few Android handsets on the market, and they’re even working on two Honeycomb tablets, but damn, Sony, look at [...]

As you may be aware Jerry and I are trying to get by in the Enterprise space with only our tablets and no Windows based laptops. Jerry’s using the Acer Iconia Tab and I am using my Asus Eeepad transformer with keyboard dock. Jerry has a few posts up on his experience so far. Week one using [...]

Yesterday the company behind the infamous Joojoo, Fusion Garage, revealed itself as the real name behind the fake company TabCo which had been teasing the tech world for the last few weeks about an upcoming tablet. During the announcement webcast, Fusion Garage did indeed reveal a new tablet which turned out to be the Grid [...]

Up until recently, I had not strayed far from the iPhone family. I have owned a few iterations of the iPhone, and have seen its evolution in hardware along with the massive growth of the app store. And for the most part, the iPhone has fulfilled my needs, and indeed surprised me with functions that I didn’t realise I could do with.

Chandra Rathakrishnan is on stage right now telling us about a product that slipped out about an hour before the presentation… Actually it’s two products.   Grid is a new operating system. A re-build of Android. The first product is the Grid 10. It’s a 1366×768 resoution device using the Nvidia Tegra 2. We’re tracking [...]

Asus has finally gone and officially put the Eee Pad Slider up on their site. The Slider may as well have been official for a long time as it’s seen more hands-on time than some devices that are actually available! In addition to a few bits that are confirmed on the official page — the [...]

I’ve been inspired by Jerry to make the move to using only the Asus Eeepad transformer at work. I’ll be using only my Atrix and Eee Pad Transformer for all business related activities, no PC at all. I am passing my Vaio down to my wife to replace an old netbook and the budget doesn’t [...]

In this article, it is my intention to take a critical look at the Android user interface. Some people may read this as though I’m lambasting Android, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. I quite respect Android as an excellent mobile operating system, but I also believe that looking critically at anything can [...]
