Nvidia’s Tegra and Tegra 2 hardware has been quite popular over the last year, bringing powerful CPU and GPU performance to tablets and smartphones in a standardized package. Today, Nvidia is showing off the next version of Tegra, codenamed Kal-El, which will power tomorrow’s tablets and smartphones. Kal-El is the next iteration of Nvidia’s mobile CPU/GPU series and features the world’s first mobile quad-core CPU, and a whopping dodeca-core GPU (that’s 12, folks!). Nvidia is expecting five times the performance of Tegra 2 out of Kal-El! They say that seeing […]

Now this is cool. Asus is taking the dockable-device idea to a whole new level. We’ve seen the Motorola Atrix and its laptop dock, and there’s also the Eee Pad Transformer with attachable keyboard, but this is the first time that I’ve ever seen a smartphone that docks inside a larger tablet.

With rumors of Android / Oaktrail tablets flying around, you might wonder why?

  Recently launched and soon to be  available is this Oaktrail-based tablet that will be one to watch out for at Computex. If you’re looking for a newer i86-based device, Pioneer Computers are offering it for under $US 550 with 16GB of storage and 1GB of RAM and it could be an interesting device for Windows, Meego and Android. Oaktrail should offer much better battery life than Pinetrail-based devices (N450, N550 etc) although we expect the performance will be slightly lower. There’s also the chance to squeeze more out of […]

You may recall our post about the Droid X2 announcement from the other day. I was somewhat perplexed at the fact that the Droid X and Droid X2 were nearly identical on the outside, except for the fact that the dedicated camera button had been removed.

Update: Mojang has released a video of Minecraft Pocket Edition running on the Xperia Play. We can see here some Creative-mode play: In what is undoubtedly an important step for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, the mobile version of the indie-hit game Minecraft will be released on the game-centric smartphone before any others. Minecraft is an open-world building and survival game that has taken the gaming world by storm since it’s release in 2009. It’s hard to explain exactly what Minecraft is, but the developers offer this video on their […]
