The HTC Flyer I ordered on Friday has literally just arrived at the door and Im looking forward to ripping this open and seeing how it compares to the Galaxy Tab which is currently the most popular 7″ tablet on the market and has been a very good companion to me for over 6 months now. In terms of features, there are definitely a few to talk about and some that are unique to the Flyer ensuring at least some sales. The #1 feature is the digitizer input layer and active pen that […]

Our Motorola Xoom has finally managed to find the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update that Google pushed out the other day. We gave you a thorough overview of the 3.1 update based on the official information provided, but there’s only so much that text can say […]

Our pal Chris Davies over at Slashgear has a solid unboxing video featuring the upcoming HTC Flyer. We’ve got lots of upcoming coverage for this device, but this is a great way to get a jump start on becoming familiar with this very interesting 7” tablet.

I’ve been talking about this since, well, over a year ago.  Intel’s new-generation mobile platforms, including Oaktrail, Moorestown and Medfield, could couple well with Android. I don’t mean a community X86 project, I mean official, Google approved, power-optimised versions of Android. Honeycomb included. Image right: Mock-up Digitimes just reported that “Asustek Computer and Lenovo are to launch Oak Trail/Android 3.1 tablet PCs soon and also Cedar Trail/ Chrome models in the second half of the year. inch Dual mode tablets will be possible and there’s even a chance that virtualization […]

Last night I took the plunge and dumped the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread upgrade on my Galaxy Tab via the ‘side-loading’ method based on an copy of the firmware being rolled out in Europe (but not available here in Germany yet.) I used simple instructions from The Galaxy Tab Forum (Hat Tip XDA Developers) and flashed the firmware along with a full factory reset and spent about 4 hours late last night testing, restoring my apps and listening to music. The music wasn’t just for fun. Previous builds of the Galaxy […]

Its true! You’ might have heard about it at Slashgear, Engadget or The Unwired but I’ve made a few phone calls and sure enough, there’s stock available in Europe. The HTC Flyer could be in your hands in 24hrs. Full specifications, links, videos  updated in our product page. The HTC Store in the UK has the 3G version available for order today. Its £599.99 . I called Expansys, who run the store and they confirmed stock. I’m close to ordering one for a live session next week. Update: It’s ordered! […]

At Google I/O 2011, Honeycomb 3.1, which brings a number of user and developer enhancements, has been officially announced and detailed. Google also says that Honeycomb 3.1 will be making its way to Google TV powered devices this summer; very exciting news as it means that Google TV devices will now have access to apps from the Android Market! Android 3.1 is rolling out now to Motorla Xoom [tracking page] devices on Verizon’s network, however our Xoom still has no idea that an update is available, so it’s likely coming […]
