The WeTab has finally started shipping. The Tablet device is an Atom based MeeGo slate and is available over in Germany with a price tag of 449 for the 16GB model and 669 for the 32GB model which also comes with GPS built in along with 3G/UMTS for connectivity.

The unboxing of course doesn’t go in to too much detail as its literally just an unboxing. It will be another day or two before we get to see what the WeTab is all about and if it will provide any competition to the Galaxy Tab and iPad.

The technical specs on the tablet show that it has an 11.6 inch screen that is capacitive touch. The Atom CPU is clocked at 1.6GHz. It has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. [Read more…]

Details of the HP Slate are still a little thin on the ground. Hopefully this leaked Slate along with a mini review will help you understand a little more about the Windows 7 tablet device.

The HP Slate review was uploaded to YouTube and gives a walk around of the device looking at what hardware buttons it has, what they do as well as a few details about the camera on the back.

The HP Slate (Windows 7 version) takes around 10 seconds to switch on. I’m not 100% sure if that’s from a cold boot or if switch on time will always be measured in seconds rather than being instant like the iPad. [Read more…]

Next year, Samsung could launch a 10 inch Galaxy Tab. The news comes from local General Manager Gary Twohig of Samsung in Ireland. He added the information to the bottom of a news story about places you’ll be able to pick up a Galaxy Tab in Ireland.

It isn’t clear exactly when the larger tablet will become available, if at all, and it isn’t known what operating system will run. We assume Android will be the choice with perhaps Android 3.0 Gingerbread being the option. [Read more…]

Dell could be launching a seven inch tablet if rumours are to be believed. A comment made by the Dell CEO Michael Dell indicated that this is something they are looking in to. Nothing has been revealed about the larger screened tablet although it could be a second Dell Stream model that currently ships with a five inch screen.

The device we presume, will also run Google Android and as for a release date or unveiling, perhaps CES 2011. [Read more…]

The Rocktab is a 7 inch tablet that runs the Google Android operating system.

Price wise, it’s quite cheap with a price $129.50 (£82) for a 2GB model. At that price you don’t get anything too fancy. It runs the Android 1.5 operating system that has been “customised and optimised” according to RedFerret. However, in speed terms the video (embedded below) shows that it’s actually quite smooth at running. [Read more…]

The BlackPad is a rumoured tablet that RIM is supposedly building. We have heard a few leaks here and there over the last few months such as the blackpad domain being registered along with a bit of information about what it will actually be.

A new report now indicates that the BlackPad, when launched, will cost $499 which puts it in to the pricing area of the low end iPad. We also hear that RIM will be announcing the BlackPad in November, perhaps just in time for a launch before Christmas. [Read more…]

Amazon in the UK has just shifted the Samsung Galaxy Tab release date from October to November on its website.

This could mean that a delay is expected and that nowhere will get it till at least November sometime. It isn’t known either if this will effect all retailers and carriers who will sell it, or if it’s just an Amazon thing (other than Expansys in the UK who has also changed the date to November 2). Right now there is no official word from Samsung about when it will be launched.

When launched, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will have a price tag of £599.99 at Amazon and at Expansys, it will cost £639.99. It isn’t clear if these are final prices either as we have seen prices a lot higher than that elsewhere. [Read more…]

Over the weekend, Samsung launched a new advert for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The ad covers a number of features that the new Android tablet device has such as Widgets, Google Maps Navigation, music & videos, emails (pictured above), eBooks as well as a few technical things like streaming video to a HDTV, the battery life (7 hours) and the memory expansion up to 32GB.

The main problem here though is that we still don’t have official word on the price from Samsung. It is believed right now that the SIM free model will be more expensive than the iPad. [Read more…]

The Times is reporting that the Samsung Galaxy Tab will also have the option of installing Chrome OS when it launches. Although this is believed to be an option, it isn’t one that will be supported out of the box. Instead, you’ll need to do the update yourself.

It is recommended that those wanting to use Chrome OS on the Galaxy Tab consult a professional before the update, and perhaps even have someone who knows what they are doing perform the update as it isn’t simply a task of selecting the OS and installing it, a lot of changes need to be made to get it on there.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab price is still yet to be confirmed by Samsung although a number of retailers have now listed the tablet on their sites.

Amazon in the UK is the latest who first listed the 16GB model for a hefty £799 although shortly after the price was dropped to a slightly more respectable £680.

Although we can compare that to the 16GB Wifi+3G iPad at £529, it’s also a little difficult to compare as the Tab has a few extra features such as a camera and ports. However, people are likely going to compare it to the iPad as it’s essentially another tablet device that is the first main stream rival to the iPad. [Read more…]

The Notion Ink Adam tablet is a device that looks like it could do seriously well. The main problems have been delays with various things which have pushed the date further and further away. We now hear that things are actually running a little ahead of schedule and that the device will be submitted to the FCC a week earlier than the previous date announced.

The Notion Ink Adam blog also details a few new things about the device. The first detail reveals that it might come with a replaceable battery rather than a soldered in battery.

Other details include a Comic Store that will launch. More details of the Comic Store will be announced in October. [Read more…]
