Samsung Galaxy Tab UK Price – £680 at Amazon

September 17, 2010 by Leave a Comment

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…]

Air Display gets Windows Support

September 17, 2010 by 1 Comment

Air Display is an app that you run on your iPad that allows you to expand the screen real estate of your computer.

Until now, Air Display has only been available to install on Mac based computers. No Air Display Windows software existed that allowed you to send the contents of a second screen on to your iPad.

The software is relatively easy to use on the Windows PC side of things. All you need to do is download the app on the iPad, download the accompanying software on to your Windows based PC, set up a few options such as iPad location in relevance to your laptop/computer screen and you are good to go.

Parallels Mobile App Brings Windows Access to iOS

September 15, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Parallels recently released Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac. A new update to the Parallels Mobile for iPad and iPhone has now been released that lets users connect up to their Windows machines direct from the iPad or iPhone.

The video below shows a demonstration of how the new update works and exactly what can be done with it. Of course there’s a small bit of lag (large lag in some cases when on slow networks), but overall it looks to be quite impressive.

Unfortunately the previous versions of Parallels Mobile were more restricted and hence, only a two start rating is given for the app at the moment. Now that more control has been given to users, we expect to see the star rating rise. [Read more…]

iPod touch 4th Generation Teardown

September 8, 2010 by Leave a Comment

iFixit managed to get hold of an iPod touch to tear down. The iPod touch went on sale this week after being announced just last week at the Apple Special Event.

The iPod touch is very thin and hence, a lower resolution camera was used as the 5 megapixel version from the iPhone 4 just wouldn’t fit with the technology used today.

The new touch uses an A4 processor although it comes packaged with 256MB of RAM (just like the iPad) rather than the 512MB of the iPhone 4. [Read more…]

Samsung Galaxy Tab $1019 on Amazon.de

September 7, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is looking rather random at the moment, partly because Samsung hasn’t made an official announcement. We are not sure if prices are to be fully believed online. The US price is supposedly somewhere between $200 and $400 while the UK price is £679.99 over on Expansys which is the equivalent of $1045 at todays exchange rate.

Over in Germany the price tag has been revealed on Amazon at the equivalent of $1019 which almost lines up with the UK pricing.

We are guessing at the moment that Expansys and Amazon in the UK and Germany respectively, will be selling the device unlocked with no contract. If the US pricing is to be believed then it looks to be selling with contract. [Read more…]
