2010 | The Year Tablet Computers Takeover? via Gadgetspy March 12th, 2010 at 08:14

image Tablets have been around for many years, nearly as long as laptops. I have been using one since 2001 and they were pretty uncommon at this point but apple first made and manufactured a tablet in the 1980s. With their latest product due to release in the next few months being the Apple iPad. It seems in the last couple of months many tablet PCs have been announced and ready to be sold. All in one go? (Possibly due to the fuss over the Apple iPad.) Almost like a tablet takeover. Will tablets be the next big thing, or just an extra accessory to the laptop. I believe that laptops will never be replaced by tablets due to the lack of keyboard, and the ability to efficiently include all the hardware a laptop does inside the screen of a tablet, along with good enough battery life. There have in...

More tablet magazines – wired, tired or expired? via BitterWallet February 17th, 2010 at 15:00

There’s going to be a period of about a year as the world of publishing dips its pinkies into reproducing magazines and newspapers on tablet devices. Some will balk at the prospect and return to print, others will embrace it. We’ve shown examples in the past of what happened when Sports Illustrated attempted to pretty much cut and paste their magazine into a tablet, and then how a design agency approached it from a different point of view – namely not been trapped in the mindset of publishing a physical magazine. Now Wired magazine have produced a version of how their magazine might function on a tablet.

Google Chrome OS Tablet Concept? (Rumour) via Technology Blog (UK), Hi-Tech Gadgets & Gaming - Zath! February 2nd, 2010 at 22:12

image With the press announcement of the Apple iPad come and gone, the fallout finally settling down, now there’s rumours beginning to arise of a potential Google ‘Chrome OS Tablet’.

With the release of the web-based Google Chrome operating system growing ever imminent, the world has been pondering over what the ideal device for the OS is.

The Apple iSlate: Wow!!!… via Technology Blog (UK), Hi-Tech Gadgets & Gaming - Zath! February 1st, 2010 at 18:14

image I’m almost certain he did this at some point, but I can’t find it. Ah well, never mind.. So then, let’s get down to stating the bleeding obvious about the Apple iPad… Where’s the kick-stand? – Tablets are unwieldy, and it’s a pain to hold it through a 2 hour movie. I suppose you could scratch the back up by resting it against something, but good luck with that rounded back. Wot, No Flash? – According to Apple, some websites aren’t accessible through the iPad, because the browser you’re forced to use doesn’t support it. Well, clearly the iPad belongs in 1996, when that wouldn’t have been such a massive, debilitating and inexcusable deficiency. Honestly, I’m lost for words on this one. I mean, I’d be better-off with my PSP(!) 4:3 aspect ratio?...

Microsoft Courier To Get First Punch in Tablet War via GadgetyNews.com January 6th, 2010 at 13:54

image Ooooo! Sounds like Microsoft is going to jump in the tablet ring and square up directly to the Apple iSlate. It also looks like they want to get the first punch in as the iSlate isn’t reported to come official ’til the 27th. The big M’s Courier tablet, reportedly a HP built device, could get a sighting during Steve Ballmer’s keynote CES address scheduled for tomorrow. The Microsoft Courier has multitouch, be cleverer than an eBook Reader and has a groovy interface. The Microsoft v Apple battle is all set. Where does your bet lay? Check out the GizVid below.

Apple Tablet Update: To Be Named The iSlate? via Technology Blog (UK), Hi-Tech Gadgets & Gaming - Zath! January 3rd, 2010 at 21:47

image A week’s a long time in technology, and it’s one hell of a long time when it comes to Apple rumours… Naturally, since 28th December 2009 when we posed the question of the Apple Tablet appearing in 2010?, more rumours have been making their way across the net and a January 26th release looks very likely, even if we still have no idea what the damn thing will be called! There’s quite a few suggestions going around…iTablet, iSlate, iGuide? In case you’ve taken a break from all the tech news over the holidays (or found a nice home under a rock), Kaifu Lee, Google China’s ex-chief, wrote on his blog that he’d been told by an insider about the device. A lot of what we know seems to be old news, we’ll be looking at pricing in the range of $1000, an iPhone-esque...

Will The Apple Tablet Arrive In 2010? via Technology Blog (UK), Hi-Tech Gadgets & Gaming - Zath! December 28th, 2009 at 14:55

image Of all the rumours we’ve seen in the past decade, the Apple Tablet is without a doubt the most consistently frequent and annoying… When you’ve been hearing about a product since August 2004, (yeah, really) you just want to get your hands on the damn thing! No-one outside of Apple, to our knowledge, has managed to do that, but surely we’d have gathered some solid evidence of the tablet’s existence after 5 and a half years? Here’s what we know so far…well perhaps… More recently, only 2 months ago actually, we heard that Apple’s tablet will consist of a 10.6” panel, which puts it in between the iPhone and the 13.3” Macbook in terms of size. One thing’s for sure, Apple won’t be wanting this device to be known as the ‘Apple Netbook’ – not if...

New iTablet rumors: Apple to launch ‘iSlate’ next month? via GadgetLite - Latest gadgets and technology news December 28th, 2009 at 11:05

image Win a Facebook robot - Pingo! It's our last giveaway of 2009! New iTablet rumors: Apple to launch ‘iSlate’ next month? So is it iTablet or iSlate now? Confusing isn’t it? No one is certain, but after it was revealed that Apple had bought the domain islate.com in 2007, many now speculate that Steve Jobs had been planning this all along and that the device we’re about to see will be called iSlate. I personally think the name iSlate is an awful name for a tablet and believe this is just coincidental that we find out about this just one month before we think Apple is due to announce their iTablet Mac – the date for this is thought to be 26th of January. While Apple has so far refused everything there is to speculate about the iTablet or iSlate, its expected...

Bitterwallet Christmas Poll – what price Apple’s iSlate? via BitterWallet December 27th, 2009 at 13:41

More rumours admittedly, but they’re enough to make this blessed time of celebrating Christ’s birth even more special. The Apple tablet could be announced as early as the end of next month and Techcrunch has uncovered evidence that a particular domain name has been bought up by third party firms and shell companies associated with Apple over the past three years, all of which suggests the name of the long-awaited device will be the iSlate. Maybe. But how much would Apple want from your wallet for such a gadget? If it’s to fall between the price of an iPod Touch and an entry level MacBook, then it would cost around $600 (probably at least £400 for UK customers) which prices it well above plenty of netbooks. But then a £400 price tag wouldn’t surprise anybody since...

image Readers: Take part to win a free Wi-Fire - long range WiFi adapter! Sources suggest Apple iTablet may be coming in February According to latest reports from those involved in helping to manufacter various parts and components for the much anticipated “iTablet”. Apple is set to unveil its tablet PC in the coming month of February in 2010. Leaked info suggests that third party vendors will start shipping various components from December itself. More details including that the iTablet will sport a 10-inch display and a special longer lasting battery (that would be most welcomed!) available below… The publication reiterates the presence of a near 10-inch touch display but now insists the tablet will be based on a custom processor (likely ARM-based) from recent acquisition...

Apple iTablet is now called the iPad via Gadgetspy August 18th, 2009 at 11:21

image Yet another twist in the Apple iTablet story is it’s supposed new name, the iPad.  This information was leaked by the retailer Borders. An online survey from Borders has hinted that the name will not be the iTablet as we once thought Not only that, the survey of electronic book readers refers to the device as an ‘Apple iPAD (large screen reading device)’, asking the participant if they are planning to buy one ‘this year’. There is alays the chance that this information isn’t the most accurate, but do we think that retailers know something that we don’t? You better add two different names to your Christmas lists just in...

Apple iTablet Existence Confirmed, Pretty Much via Gadgetspy August 4th, 2009 at 13:07

image UFO’s, Sea Monsters, and the Apple iTablet have bewildered interested parties for longer than I can remember.  Do they actually exist, and is there evidence?  Well, the anticipated iTablet by Apple has been confirmed….with actual evidence apparently! One analyst has made claims that he has seen the Apple iTable multimedia Mac.  He apparently got closer to the fabled device than just glancing at it, and has said “holding it in your hand is better than the average movie experience”.  According to Mr X, Apple are aiming for September launch and the retail price they are aiming for is between $699 and $799 making it relatively affordable by modern standards. Ok, so Apple haven’t announced this themselves, but cloak and daggers go alomg with most product...

Asus EeePC T91 - Convertible Netbook Tablet with TV Tuner Out Now in UK via GadgetyNews.com June 2nd, 2009 at 13:18

image Asus added the Eee PC T91 to its EeePC line-up as predicted. If you can recall this is the first Eee model to sport an 8.9″ swivelable touchscreen and a suite of touch-optimised software that enables users to get the most out of finger or stylus input. We first saw the Asus Eee PC T91 at CES 2009 even though it slipped beneath my radar to start with. The Asus Eee PC T91’s unique software apps, collectively known as TouchSuite, allow users to get tactile with their tasks such as: literally touching up photos, creating photo albums, leaving handwritten desktop memos for the next to use the puter, and sketching cartoons or custom emoticons. As well as being a pretty handy addition to the EeePC range it works as a tablet so that users can read documents, scribble ideas into...

Always Innovating ‘Touchbook’ Announced via Hi Tech Gadgets & Technology Blog (UK) - Zath! March 4th, 2009 at 19:44

image Here at Zath we love netbooks, and it is fair to say that they are one of the best new ideas to have emerged over the last couple of years, but recently they have suffered from the vast numbers of companies creating netbooks that were monotonous and indistinguishable from each other. What they needed was a bit of innovation. True to their name ‘Always Innovating’ have come up with the ‘Touch Book’ which fully functions as both a netbook and a tablet, and by the looks of it does both very well. But that is not it: both the netbook and the tablet are both innovative in their own right - combining technologies and ideas not seen together before. Let’s start with the specs, which may come as a surprise to those of you who follow netbooks: there is no Atom in sight; neither are...
