Apple is almost certainly going to launch a tablet today. It won’t be the first tablet PC to hit the streets. As I mentioned yesterday, companies have been pumping out handheld, touchscreen devices for decades. But the Apple Tablet is probably the most hyped product of the last two years and it should be extraordinarily […]

The Apple Tablet will be in good company
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is likely preparing to officially pull the veil off of the worst-and-best kept secret in the tech industry tomorrow with the introduction of some sort of Apple Tablet. You know, unless the company is even better at keeping secrets than we thought and he’s actually unveiling a new space tourism initiative […]
ViewSonic introduces VTablet 101 ARM-based tablet
ViewSonic, a company best known for making LCD TVs and PC monitors has been putting out netbooks and mini-desktops for a little while. And now the company wants in on the tablet space as well. While the company was rather quiet on the tablet front at the decidedly tablet-heavy Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas earlier […]
The Netbook Navigator: How is a $1200 tablet a netbook?
I just got a pitch for a new device called the Netbook Navigator. The company is taking pre-orders for a 3G-enabled 8.9 inch tablet PC with a multitouch display, 32GB SSD, Windows 7 Home Premium, and no keyboard. It’s a nice looking machine. But the $1199 asking price seems pretty high, especially since the company […]
HOTT M700: Cheap 7 inch tablet with HDMI
Chinese electronics maker HOTT brought a new 7 inch tablet with an ARM-based processor to CES last week. Charbax from ARMdevices caught up with the company and shot a brief video which you can check out below. The HOTT M700 runs Windows CE 6.0 and has about 8 hours of battery life for web browsing […]
More tablets and UMPCs from CES
In case you hadn’t noticed yet, tablets were one of the big three trends at CES this year (the other two being 3D TV and eBook readers). While I got a chance to check out a few interesting tablets, I barely scratched the surface. But fortunately jkkmobile got to spend some time with a few […]
Brother tablet PC: Another tablet with Chrome(d edges)
OK, so this 10 inch tablet from Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial isn’t actually running Google Chrome like some other tablets we’ve seen. But it does have shiny chrome around the edges of the tablet which gives it an eye-catching visual appeal. On the other hand, when you combine a shiny frame with a glossy […]
King Yung showcases 7 inch Android netbook, 10 inch tablet
Over the past 2 years, I’ve seen a lot of 7 inch mini-notebooks with ARM or MIPS based processors. Most run Windows CE or some flavor of Linux. This week I came across a model running Google Android, which is the first time I’ve seen that OS on one of these generic netbooks. I’m sure […]
Hands on with the Notion Ink Adam tablet (Pixel Qi screen, Tegra 2 graphics)
This year’s CES has been dominated by 3D TV, eBook readers, and a plethora of tablets. But the Notion Ink Adam tablet manages to stand out from the tablet crowd by sporting some of the hottest new technology. And I really do mean hot, and not just hyped. First, it’s one of the first devices […]
Freescale tablet running Chromium OS – Video
When I got a look at Freescale’s tablet reference design the other day, it was running a modified Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. It seemed reasonably responsive and it was capable of playing HD video. But it’s not the only operating system you can run on the tablet. Charbax from ArmDevices.net got a briefing with […]
