Images of a prototype of Dell’s 7-inch tablet with a hardware sliding keyboard mechanism have begun to surface on the Internet.

Dell will be launching its 10-inch Dell Streak 10 Pro in China this summer and says that the U.S. launch may be postponed until next year.

Well, it looks like the Motorola Xoom isn’t the only Android tablet having issues. Earlier today, Verizon seemed to have confirmed a July launch for the Samsung Galaxy S II only to retract the statement and saying that the July launch window was for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Interesting, because the 4G LTE Galaxy [...]
Yesterday, it became apparent that Motorola had sent out emails in regards to the 4G LTE upgrade that the Motorola Xoom will be getting at some point in the future.

T-Mobile apparently really wants G2 owners to know that Gingerbread is on its way because this is the second time a document has leaked out touting the update as ‘coming soon.’ Back towards the end of May, a leaked document from T-Mobile indicated that an update would be rolling out soon. Of course, soon in [...]
Interesting. The Smart Cover for the iPad 2 has certainly proven to be a popular add on. Mine still seems to get a bit dumber as time goes on, but it does still live on my iPad 2. I guess it was only matter of time before someone came up with an App that somehow [...]

This is probably grain of salt time. Digitimes is reporting that Microsoft might be looking at creating its own Tablet to be released in 2012. Texas Instruments would reportedly build the device. Supposedly the push is to try and compete with some other Tablet maker from Cupertino. Again, who knows if this is true or [...]
Do you read End User License Agreements? I have to admit I don’t. Lawyers work hard to make sure bases (or posteriors) are covered and of course every now and then someone who has more time on their hands than you or I will read through one and discover something that raises and eyebrow or [...]
