It can’t have passed you by that Tablet puters seem to becoming de rigueur recently with the likes of iPad, Courier, Streak and even PSP Tablet, etc Well, those gadgety lovers over at T3 have had a chat with The Alloy and Medion and together have come up with their own rather nice spin on the tablet PC. The Akoya Smartpad, as they’ve named it, has come to shape via T3 readers and staff, Medion and the designers at The Alloy and if I’m honest – it looks rather sweet The spec is realistic but swanky with a HD multi-touch display, a front-facing camera for video messaging, a thin carbon fibre screen protector that doubles as a stand and my favourite design item is the retractable physical keyboard. Check out the gallery and then head over to get more...

The FCC has taken a look at the JooJoo tablet and as well as giving it a thorough check over to make sure it complies with certain standards, they also have a picture of the inside as well as the details of what powers the device.Just yesterday we heard about the JooJoo tablet getting a user interface makeover making it look a little bit more attractive to use. This new user interface mixed with the revealed hardware specs make it appear to be quite an impressive machine.The JooJoo runs an NVIDIA Ion along with an Intel Atom N270 CPU. We also hear there is integrated 3G built in which was contrary to reports heard before. The worrying thing is that the JooJoo appears to run standard hardware and if not optimised just right, we could see that NVIDIA Ion chip suck a lot of power out of the...

Remember the JooJoo Tablet, which was due to ship at the end of last month? Well it looks like the former CrunchPad is now delayed until the 25th of March 2010, which would put its release date at a similar time to the new Apple iPad. According to Fusion Garage, the delay in the JooJoo Tablet has been caused by a manufacturing issue, as there were problems with the 12.1 inch touchscreen display. This can’t be good news for Fusion Garage, who are already facing legal acting from Michael Arrington, and now the delay in shipping means it will be launching at almost exactly the same time as Apple’s new iPad Tablet. Although the JooJoo tablet has a larger screen than the Apple iPad, and it supports Flash, and is similarly priced, one thing it doesn’t have that the iPad does,...

Some of our readers will remember the JooJoo Tablet, which was originally the Crunch Pad until Fusion Garage and Michael Arrington, fell out over the project, Arrington is now in the process of suing Fusion Garage. Anyway the JooJoo tablet had officially gone into production, and it may be shipped to people who have pre-ordered one very shortly, which means it would beat the Apple iPad to the store shelves.

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’. The rumours emerge from within Google themselves as they have shown mockups of such a device on a developer site. 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. Originally, it was seen as the perfect netbook OS. A lightweight, web based OS would be a perfect fit for lower end netbooks which don’t possess the required power to get the best of Windows 7. Obviously netbooks are still in with a shout as Acer are apparently planning to release a Chrome OS netbook later this year....

Google have created some concept drawings of Chome OS running on a Tablet style device. The video is more focussed on what the operating system could look like rather than the functions of the tablet it’s self. The video shows a number of multi-touch features where windows are dragged around as objects and resized according to the needs of the program running. As well as showing various browser windows being dragged around it also shows how the Chrome OS will be able to multi-task where two windows are on display at the same time with data moving between each window. Currently the video just shows how the interface “might possibly” work although I am sure Google will be looking at the best ways for the user to interact with a tablet device. When compared to the iPad it...

Google [GOOG] has shown off a concept tablet running their Chrome OS. The concept was designed by Google Chrome’s UI lead designer Glen Murphy, and gives us a glimpse at possible future Google Tablet’s. As you can see in the video below, one thing that stands out is the ability to multi-task on the Google Tablet, something which the Apple iPad is lacking. If Google do produce a Chrome OS based tablet, and it does come with multi-tasking then it may just be the tablet that will give the Apple iPad some competition. I wonder if we will see a tablet from Google this year, they are obviously working on one, it will be interesting to see what it is like. via Slash Gear This is a post from Geeky Gadgets, who bring you the latest cool Gadgets.Google Chrome OS......

A Chinese PC maker, Shenzhen Great Loong Brother company,  is claiming that Apple [AAPL] has ripped off their design for the Apple iPad from a tablet they have been selling in China for the last six month, the P88. As you can see from the photo of the P88 it looks like a giant iPhone, so did the Shenzhen Great Loong Brother company get their tablet design from the iPhone? The P88 features a 10.2 inch screen, and it doesn’t feature multi-touch like the iPad. It also has a 250GB hard drive, a 1.3 megapixel web camera, an Ethernet port and an Intel 945GSE. When Shenzhen Great Loong Brother’s President, Xiaolong Wu, was questioned about his tablet’s similar design top the Apple iPhone he said “they have nothing to do with it, as they have completely different...

Leaked images of what is thought to be the Apple Tablet have been sent in to Engadget late last night that show the device running some kind of mapping application as well as the tablet being compared to an iPhone. Of course the pictures cannot be verified until we know what the device will look like “if” it is unveiled today. From what we see in the pictures the Tablet device looks to either be in some sort of funky case, or perhaps bolted to a desk to prevent staff stealing/borrowing it. When compared with the Apple [AAPL] iPhone it appears that the tablet will have either a 9 or 10 inch screen. The back of the device is said to be aluminium and as for pricing it is expected to be $800 on contract or $1000 off contract and being made available in March. Full details should...

Today is the day that everyone is hoping Apple [AAPL] will reveal the Apple Tablet, yesterday we showed you some pictures of what the Apple Tablet may look like. Now the guys over at Engadget have received some pictures from a reliable source, these one look totally different than yesterdays and look more like a giant iPhone, which would tie in with the rumors that the Apple Tablet will run the iPhone OS, here is what Engadget had to say about it. Okay, we obviously can’t confirm this, but we just got two very interesting images of what certainly looks like a prototype Apple tablet, or what could be the tablet bolted down to a table. It’s big — really big — and it’s running what clearly looks like an iPhone app, although we’ve never seen an iPhone...

CEO of US publishing giant McGraw-Hill, Terry McGraw has confirmed in an interview the existence of the Apple [AAPL] Tablet, although we pretty much know it is real from all the information that has been leaked over the last few months.

McGraw also stated that the Apple Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone OS, so it will be transferable, and he also said that they have 95% of all their content ready to go on the new tablet, see what he has to say in the video below. It will be interesting to see if the Apple Tablet is based on the iPhone OS, we will keep you updated later today when Apple...

Another day, another Apple Tablet rumor, today we have some supposed pictures of Apple’s new tablet, although they do look pretty good and probably the most realistic we have seen to date, there is always the possibility that they are a clever photoshop job.

Well, lovers of all that is shiny and gadgety! Looks like the UK will be getting some Apple-styled Tablet love as it appears that the fruity tech maker is chatting with UK operators over network partnerships for its much talked-about tablet PC. Orange, O2 and Vodafone are all claimed to be drooling in anticipation of stocking the latest big noise in the tech world. All reckon that the operators will bundle the iSlate in with 3G mobile broadband contracts (just like they do with netbooks, etc) and thus subsidising the rumoured £800 it’s expected to cost. Apple’s tablet PC is expected to be flashed and photographed reality on January 27th when the San Francisco-based company unveils its “latest creation”. This follows the little glissade de la langue (slip of the tongue) by a...

WSJ have created a list of what can be expected in the Apple iSlate or iTablet or whatever it will be called. The tablet will come with the ability to be shared with several members of a household and could possibly use facial recognition to adjust settings according to individual needs. If it is cloud based then each user will get their own files when logging in. Other information reveals that an on-screen keyboard will be used for text entry. That particular point is an obvious one really with any sort of tablet device. The tablet will focus on content for old media such as text books, news and TV putting them all in your hand while on the move. Talks with the NY Times, Conde Nast and HarperCollins have been mentioned for providing content. A TV subscription could be built in to the...

On Wednesday, Valleywag put up an article where they offered up to $100,000 for evidence of the much rumored Apple Tablet, and it looks like Apple weren’t to happy about it as Valleywag’s parent company Gawker, who also own Gizmodo and a number of other high end websites, have received a letter from Apple’s lawyers. Gawker received a letter from Attorney Michael C. Spillner of Silicon Valley firm Orrick, Herrington and Suttcliffe, the letter said the following. “I am writing on behalf of Apple regarding the notices on Gawker.com and Valleywag.com Web sites that Gawker Media will pay someone a financial reward for sending you photos, video, or a sample of an unannounced and highly confidential Apple product.” Historically when Apple has sent a letter from its...
