Motorola XOOM review
The Motorola XOOM checked a lot of boxes in the “first” category when it launched in February. It was the first tablet computer to ship with a 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor. It was the first tablet to run Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb and the first to be updated to Android 3.1. […]
Unofficial Google Android 3.0 port for the Toshiba Folio 100
Toshiba is preparing to launch a new Android tablet with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and Google Android 3.x operating system. But the company actually launched a Tegra-powered Android 2.2 tablet last year. The Toshiba Folio 100 never made it to the states, but a small number were shipped in Europe. Unfortunately if you’re one […]
Google Android 3.0.1 ported to the ViewSonic gTablet
The ViewSonic gTablet is one of the cheapest tablets available with a 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor. Unfortunately the $300 tablet (which often goes on sale for even less than that) has a 1024 x 600 pixel display, ships with Android 2.2 and doesn’t include access to the Google Android Market. While […]
Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb port for the Notion Ink Adam tablet (work in progress)
The folks at Notion Ink are in the process of updating the Adam Tablet’s software to Google Android 2.3, but it will likely be a while before we get an official Android 3.0 Honeycomb build. That’s because Google hasn’t released the Honeycomb Source code to the public (or Notion Ink) yet. But independent developers have […]

Android tablets would be a lot more useful if there were more Android tablet apps
I’ve been tinkering with a Motorola XOOM for the past week or so, and while I like the build quality, speedy processor, and excellent screen, I find that 9 times out of 10 I’d rather just use my smartphone for mobile computing tasks. That’s partly because my phone is always with me, but it’s also […]

Asus Eee Pad Transformer source code now available
Asus has released the kernel source code for the Eee Pad Transformer Android tablet. On the one hand, that’s not too surprising, since the tablet uses open source technology that’s licensed using the GNU General Public License which requires anyone distributing GPL licensed software to make the relevant source code available. What is a little […]
Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab (unofficially)
While Samsung’s upcoming 8.9 inch and 10 inch tablets will both run Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the company has yet to announced any plans to upgrade the original 7 inch Galaxy Tab from Android 2.2 to Honeycomb. But xda-developers forum member spacemoose1 has stepped up to the challenge with an unofficial build of Android 3.0 […]
