ViewSonic has released details of the US launch of the ViewPad 7 and 10 models. ViewSonic confirmed that the 7 inch model will launch in the forth quarter of this year with a price tag of $479 while the larger 10 inch model will arrive early next year with a price tag of $629.
Each of the ViewSonic tablets is slightly different. The larger of the two devices is actually a dual booting machine that runs both Windows 7 Home Premium and Google Android 1.6. When switching it on you get to choose which OS boots up. For times when you quickly need to check email, you can boot in to Android and quickly grab those. For times when tasks are a little more demanding, you can then choose Windows. [Read more…]
Yesterday, we heard that the White iPhone 4 from Apple [AAPL] was to be further delayed, perhaps till the spring of 2011.
Rumours are now starting about the white iPhone 4 being completely canceled. Although just a rumour, it does make sense as Apple keeps delaying the phone and if it isn’t scheduled till the spring of 2011, it makes sense to just not bother and go ahead and create a white iPhone 5. [Read more…]
Microsoft [MSFT] could be releasing the next version of Windows in the next couple of years in 2012. The information comes from the bottom of a press release from the Netherlands that says (translated to English, by a computer of course)…

T3 managed to get some details of the Samsung Galaxy Tab UK price, revealing that it will cost £599 SIM free.
Confirmation of the contract price has also been found as being £199 on a 24 month contract. The 24/month contract will cost £25/month to get it at £199 for the tablet.
Pricing seems a little off to us though as I doubt many, if any, would class the Samsung Galaxy Tab as a mobile phone (even though it does do voice and text messages) as it’s just a little too large for that. With this in mind, I expect that people would much prefer to pay closer to £10/month for a contract that comes with data only. [Read more…]
