Samsung Galaxy 8.9 to offer LTE connectivity Posted: 26 Aug 2011 01:20 PM PDT Unlike the recently-outed Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 -- which was discovered hiding inside a Samsung demo app in the Android Market -- the Galaxy Tab 8.9 has had details leaked more than a few times this year. It was expected to launch this summer for around $469, though that doesn't seem likely to happen at this point. Some reports, however,...

Acer Iconia Tab to get Android 3.2 on September 10th(ish) Posted: 26 Aug 2011 12:30 PM PDT Recently Acer promised that it would push out a software update for the Iconia Tab A500 tablet on August 25th bringing Google Android 3.2 to the tablet. If you're keeping track though, you may have noticed that yesterday was the 25th... and the software update isn't available yet. Now Acer has updated the launch date for Android 3.2 to September 10th.... Read more » Acer Iconia Tab to get Android 3.2 on September 10th(ish) is a post from: Liliputing

Barnes & Noble apologizes for canceled TouchPad orders with $20 credits Posted: 26 Aug 2011 11:30 AM PDT Barnes & Noble is apologizing to customers that had placed orders for the HP TouchPad only to later find out that the tablet was not in stock and their orders had been canceled. Basically the company's inventory system kept taking orders even after the TouchPad was completely out of stock. While the company won't be sending out $102 tablets to...

Motorola XOOM 4G LTE upgrades kick off with pilot program Posted: 26 Aug 2011 10:30 AM PDT Like so many tablets that have hit retail shelves this year, the Motorola XOOM launched in a slightly unfinished state. Updates have been rolling out, of course. Back in July a software update allowed owners of the Motorola XOOM to finally make use of the tablet's microSD card expansion slot. Around the same time, a key hardware update surfaced as the... Read more » Motorola XOOM 4G LTE upgrades kick off with pilot program is a post from: Liliputing

BlackBerry PlayBook software update to add contacts, email, calendar apps Posted: 26 Aug 2011 09:36 AM PDT One of the most bewildering things about the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is that Research in Motion launched the device earlier this year without its own native email, calendar, or contact applications. The idea was that you could pair the tablet with your BlackBerry smartphone and view your BB calendar, contacts, and email -- but that meant that if you don't...

ViewSonic introduces ViewPad 7e budget tablet Posted: 26 Aug 2011 07:15 AM PDT As HP inadvertently showed recently, if you give a tablet an irresistible price tag, shoppers won't resist a bargain. Well, maybe. After all, while the HP TouchPad was certainly a steal at $99, there have been low-priced tablets on the market for months... most just aren't from big-name brands and they don't have the build quality or feature set found...

Microsoft teases quad-core tablet prototype Posted: 26 Aug 2011 05:40 AM PDT TechEd 2011 New Zealand is in full swing, and Microsoft looks to be playing a little bit of show-and-tell with the next generation of Windows and the devices that will run it. Among the devices shown was an unnamed quad-core Windows tablet. What else is known about the slate? Not much, other than that Microsoft's Jeff Johnson stated that the...

1DollarScan will turn your books into eBooks for $1 (and up) Posted: 26 Aug 2011 05:35 AM PDT Books made from trees are pretty cool. They can last for hundreds of years if properly prepared, they look great on a shelf, and some people love the smell. Personally I love spending an hour in a book shop scanning titles, reading the back covers, and scanning through the pages of books I might like to read. But digital books...
