Velocity Micro are launching new tablet devices called Cruz. The Cruz will run the Android 2.1 operating system and will come in a couple of variations which include a 4 x 3 and a 16 x 9 aspect configuration.

The high end devices out of the series will have 7 inch capacitive multitouch screens. Inside they will run 800MHz processors that should keep Android running quite well. The tablets are to be compatible with Adobe Flash 10.1 out of the box.

We also are hearing that the tablets will cost less than $300 when launched hopefully in the summer of this year. [Read more…]

It appears that Fusion Garage might have only sold 64 JooJoo tablets since launch. This information, although not highly accurate, comes from a mistake where Fusion Garage emailed 64 clients asking them for feedback. The problem was that they CC’d rather than BCC’d clients allowing all 64 customers to all see each others email.

So we have a couple of problems here… first off a privacy mistake allowing customer email addresses out, and secondly… just 64 email addresses? I know this isn’t rock solid evidence that this is their entire sales list but it’s looking like it could be the case.

Here is the email below…

Digitimes are reporting today that the ASUS EeePad is to be announced at Computex 2010 that will be running between June 1 and 5. What we are also hearing is that the EeePad could launch as early as July this year.

The ASUS EeePad has been described as a challenge to the Apple iPad by bringing features such as a webcam, USB ports as well as Adobe flash.

As for the impact of tablet PC, Shih expects the device reduce overall netbook demand by 10-2%. The company is also monitoring the tablet PC and e-book reader markets closely to prevent related products stepping into each other’s demand and will maintain flexibility to launch products that suit the fast-changing market demand.

The Microsoft Courier was first introduced/leaked sometime last year where we saw a dual screen device running a relatively unknown operating system and user interface. However, it looked fantastic and yet we’ve not really had any official word about it’s existence other than a brief slip up on a Microsoft blog.

The NYT has received information from a Microsoft [MSFT] employee indicating that the device is most certainly real and that the same person has seen a working version of it (not just drawings and animations like we have seen).

The Microsoft Courier has been described as being the same size as a paperback book when closed making it ideal to carry around. The main problems at the moment from what we have heard elsewhere is getting a good enough battery life with the dual screen setup. [Read more…]

The ASUS Eee PC 1018P was first reported back towards the end of February along with two other models, the 1015p and 1016p. Since then we haven’t heard much until now where some, what are believed to be exclusive, pictures have been captured.

The pictures show off the ASUS 1018p model. This particular model will run either Intel N455 or N475 processors, have Bluetooth connectivity and USB 3.0 connectivity too along with 10 hours of battery life. Recently, ASUS made the decision to embrace the USB 3.0 standard by including the port on all products. The 1018p is amongst the first to receive the USB 3.0 port as standard. The USB 3.0 ports can be seen on the right side of the netbook (pictured below) and are in the usual bright blue colour that indicates the USB 3.0 connectivity. [Read more…]
