Update: Lenovo reached out to clarify that it is on track to launch an Android tablet called the LePad in China before year’s end. The company hasn’t officially announced a time frame for bringing that tablet to the US. The company also hasn’t ruled out producing a Windows 7 tablet, but has no products to announce […]

Tega v2 Windows slate reviewed, found a bit wanting
Well, this is kind of sad… as I just mentioned, my CTL 2goPad review will be coming any day now, but while it’s definitely a better Windows tablet than some I’ve tried, it’s still just not that much fun to use. Now it looks like another Windows slate is getting similar reviews. GottaBeMobile’s Warner Crocker […]
bModo introduces a familiar looking Window s7 tablet
A company called bModo has announced it will start taking pre-orders for an 11.6 inch slate PC running Windows 7 later this month. If the bModo12 computer looks familiar, there’s a good reason for that. It appears to be based on the same OEM machine as the Neofonie WeTab, the ExoPC, and the Pioneer DreamBook […]
Microsoft: Windows Phone 7 is for phones… not slates
Now that Microsoft has officially launched its Windows Phone 7 operating system, we should start seeing mobile phones from HTC, LG, Samsung and Dell hit the streets later this month. But it looks like that’s all we’ll see, because Microsoft has consistently stated that the OS is designed for phones and not slate computers. ZDNet’s […]

TegaTech has begun shipping its new Tega v2 tablet, and a handful of reviewers are starting to post their initial impressions.

AMD to launch tablet chips with high performance graphics… eventually
AMD sort of sat on the sidelines of the netbook space for the first few years, but this year the company introduced a line of chips that offered decent battery life, about 2-3 times the CPU performance of an Intel Atom chip, and support for 1080p HD video playback as well as 3D graphics acceleration.

The ExoPC tablet has gotten a lot of attention for its unique user interface which is designed to make Windows 7 easier to use on a touchscreen device. Pre-orders for the US version of the ExoPC are expected to start in a few days, but it looks like the slate computer will also be available […]
Netbook Navigator Nav9 price drop: Still a whopping $699 for a Windows 7 Slate
The Netbook Navigator Nav9 is one of the few Windows 7 slate computers on the market at the moment. I’m still in the process of testing a demo unit and I won’t have a complete review done for a little while, but if you don’t plan on waiting for my opinion before plunking down some […]
Zoostorm Windows tablet to launch in the UK by year’s end
The Zoostorm SL8 is an upcoming Windows tablet that bears a more than passing resemblance to a certain German tablet. It’s not clear if the SL8 and the Neofonie WeTab are manufactured by the same company, but both have 11.6 inch touchscreen displays and 1.66GHz Intel Atom processors. The main difference is that Zoostorm will […]
Lenovo thinking about a ThinkPad slate
Slate style computers (with touchscreen displays and no keyboards) appear to be all the rage these days. But while Lenovo is planning to bring a consumer-oriented Android powered tablet, the company has been reluctant to launch a business-oriented ThinkPad tablet. Now it looks like that may change. PC World reports that a Lenovo VP says […]
