It’s been a few months since we started hearing about NEC’s new LifeTouch Android tablet. Now the company has officially launched the device… in Japan, anyway. The NEC LifeTouch is described as a “cloud communicator,” and it features a 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen display, an ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 384MB of RAM, […]

Mintpass to launch dual-screen tablet/notebook
Mintpass has announced plans to develop a portable computer that’s a cross between a tablet and a notebook. Instead of a keyboard and touchpad, the device will have two touchscreen displays.

Archos 28 Android portable media player now shipping for $100
The Archos 28 isn’t the most impressive Android device you’re likely to find. It has a small 2.8 inch, 320 x 240 pixel resistive touchscreen display. It has just 4GB to 8GB of storage space.

Samsung Galaxy Player set to give the iPod touch a run for its money.
The Samsung Galaxy Player 50 is basically an Android phone without the phone… in other words, it’s the closest thing you’ll find to an iPod touch for Android. It can run Android apps, handle music, movies, and other media, and do just about anything you can do with a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone… except make […]
Tablets sporting Google Android 3.0 Gingerbread to arrive in January?
Apple might not have shipped quite as many iPads this quarter as some analysts had expected, but with over 4 million units shipped, the product launch was clearly a success. It’s not really clear yet whether this proves that world is ready for more tablets… or just that an Apple tablet has proved to be […]
