Acer’s Iconia Tab M500 Meego Tablet Appears On-Stage

Posted on 01 June 2011

Looking like the same industrial design as the Iconia A500, this is Acer’s Meego Tablet. Full credit to @ndeviltv and @ngde_live More coming soon. I’ll be reporting on this over at Meegonews. Update: Videos, screen grabs and thoughts on the article.

That Intel Medfield / Android Tablet

Posted on 01 June 2011

It’s a crossover point when Intel demonstrate a mobile operating system that grew on ARM devices, on their i86 platform and that’s what happened yesterday. I played around with an image from the Intel pressroom and here’s the Medfield tablet running Honeycomb. Looks like 7 inch to me and designed for Android 2.x rather than 3.x (See buttons.) Interestingly, most of the PR around Medfield talks about tablets and not smartphones. I wonder if the smartphone focus will come later in the year? IDF perhaps. Original image is here. In […]

The price, weight, timescale and finer specification details are still unknown but we’ll be tracking this and bringing you the latest soon. Expect a […]

AMD Shows Z-Series ‘Desna’ APU at Computex, Running Android!

Posted on 01 June 2011

The Z-01 APU was announced yesterday in a blog and press release but AMD have just demonstrated it on stage at Computex. It looks like they’ve re-named the low-power C-50 part they’ve already talked about, a variant of which I believe is already in the Acer Iconia W500 Tablet so don’t get too excited as we’re talking about a 5.9W TDP here, not an ARM-architecture competitor just yet. It lines up nicely besides Oaktrail as a platform that can enable a good Windows tablet experience. Interestingly, AMD accepted that Windows […]
