The AC100 is definitely getting closer. Amazon UK have a pre-order page up, Toshiba UK have product details up, Peter from Netbooknews in Japan says it will launch there next week and there’s now a German retailer showing the product. Although this is probably a UK QWERTY version being sold, it’s the availability figure that’s interesting. 2 weeks! I’m quite excited about this one. We’ve got one on order and the more I read about it, the more excited I get. Yes, it won’t have any deep and meaningful productivity […]

Bob Morris, head of the mobile computing division at ARM, is telling us that the Dell Streak is just the first in a line of more tablets that will arrive from various vendors in time for Christmas. I guess if anyone should have the inside info on this it’s Bob so it’s a good sign.

Motorola’s new Droid X is one of three recently released Android phones that are part of Verizon’s “DROID” branding and advertising campaign. Does this phone stand up to the competition? Read on to find out.

It’s starting to happen. Those promised Tegra2 tablets of 2009 and 2010 are starting to appear. We’ve seen the Interpad and the AC100 as firm launches and now it’s Pioneer Computers turn. They’ve just emailed information about their Dreambook ePad N7 which appears to be based on the Compal tablet we’ve seen around trade-shows this year. With a capacitive screen it’s not going to trip itself up like the Huawei S7 although it remains to be seen if this is blessed with Google licensed software. Without Market, Maps, Gmail and […]

Jenn of Pocketables has a Libretto U100 from Conics.net and in her unboxing and first impressions there are definitely getting some good vibes being sent out. ‘The cool factor is off the charts’ she says. I tend to agree but is it actually usable? I had a chat with the guys from Wow Pow blog yesterday and there’s some good vibes coming from them too. Certainly the keyboard software seems well thought out and provides for some unique flexibility. Heat and battery life are flagged as issues and of course, […]

Downloadsquad have had a tip-off that a Google Chrome OS tablet is coming. Finally we’ll be able to see if it’s just a dumb browser or whether Google have finalised the Chrome Web Store they were promising. It will be interesting to see what platform they’ge chosen too. Could this be the first Moorestown tablet? Apparently HTC are building it but price and details are unknown at this stage. We’ll put it in the database as soon as we have info. Google launching a Chrome OS tablet on Verizon, goes […]

MSI showed us the WindPad 100 back at Computex and early hands on weren’t great but MSI have had plenty time to resolve those prototype niggles and have distributed press images of the production model with its dock. The WindPad 100 comes sporting an Intel Atom Z530 CPU running at 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM, 32GB SSD, WiFi, HDMI and 2 USB ports on board with the dock adding additional connectors in the form of 2 USB ports, audio jacks, LAN, VGA, HDMI and the usual DC socket for charging.
