The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is shaping up to be a hot seller with its quad-core Tegra 3 CPU/GPU combo and its attachable keyboard. Just a few days ago, our pal Ritchie got his hands on the Transformer Prime and produced a great overview video of the device. Now he’s drilling down the specifics.
Ritchie has fielded a number of questions from folks interested in the Transformer Prime, and prepared a whopping 5 new videos for your viewing pleasure. We’ll drop one here, but if you’d like more, certainly go visit the post over at Ritchie’s Room.

We’ve got the LG Revolution on hand and have prepared an unboxing video for you which also features a flash test. I’m happy to report (and somewhat impressed) that the LG Revolution has so far handled YouTube 720p flash video quite well. This surprised me because the Revolution is using a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU as opposed to Nvidia’s Tegra. Have a look below:

We’ve got the Motorola Xoom [tracking page] on hand and have a nearly 30 minute-long overview session for you on video. You’ll be taken around the hardware of Motorola’s first Slate and then we’ll dive into Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).
WARNING: please turn your volume down around 0:30, 16:06, and 17:24. My phone vibrated during recording and it came out very loudly on the video, my apologies!

There has been lots of talk about Notion Ink’s upcoming Adam Slate device which will be running Android. One of the reasons why this 10” slate has interests piqued – it is one of the first devices that we’ve seen using the oft-mentioned, but never quite implemented, Pixel Qi screen, that might be coming to market. The screen has the ability to display full color and motion just like a standard LCD screen, but it can be switched to a transreflective mode which makes it highly readable in direct sunlight, and allows the backlight to be turned off to save power.
We’ve been keeping our eye on this device as the company has been showing various prototypes over the last month or so. This post is here to lay out what we know about the device so far.
Let’s start with the specs. From Notion Ink’s official website:
- NVIDIA TEGRA 2
- Dual Core Cortex A-9 “MPCORE” CPU
- ULP GPU
- 16/32GB eMMC/SD memory
- WiFi b/g
- 3G HSDPA
- Bluetooth 2.1
- 10.1” Pixel Qi display, 1024×600 (transmissive, transflective, and reflective display mode
- Capacitive touchscreen
- Fingerprint resistant (possibly an oleophobic coating)
- 3.2MP swiveling camera for front-facing or rear-facing photos/video
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- microphone and two speakers
- 2x USB 2.0
- HDMI output
- 3 axis accelerometer
- ambient light sensor
- A-GPS
- “Back side trackpad”
