We’ve just reported on the UK price and availability for the Viewpad 7 and turned around to see that NetbookNews have had hands-on at a launch event in Taiwan. It’s all happening today! Check out the video below. Once again, we’re getting positive vibes! Source: NetbookNews

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 […]

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.

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 […]

We haven’t covered much Windows Phone 7 news yet on Carrypad but today I will be heading off to London to cover the HTC Windows Phone 7 Meetup. HTC expect nearly 300 guests including both fans and journalists and of their range of Windows Phone 7 devices will be on display, including the HTC HD7, the HTC 7 Pro, the HTC 7 Mozart, the HTC 7 Trophy and the HTC 7 Surround. Its going to be a great opportunity to get some hands on time with the new devices and […]

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’ […]

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 […]
