Dell Streak 10 Pro - China launch this week!

Yeah, finally Dell is going to launch their newest tablet - on Friday: The Streak Pro 10!
The bad news: The US and Europe still have to wait a bit longer (do not know how long), because Dell declared they will first sell it China.

We also do not know the full spec-list, but all we can say is that there will not be any big surprise. The 10-incher features, like nearly all tablets, the Tegra 2 SoC, a WXGA display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution and, of course, Google's latest OS - Android Honeycomb.

So, after the Streak 5 and Streak 7, Dell will release a 10-inch tablet for the first time...

Our expectations? Well, we think that the tablet will have a high build quality due to the fact that it will have a metal body. Dell needs to score on this point, because we believe that in the end of this year the new Tegra 3-powered tablets will be ready for sale (oh yeah, quad-core baby!)

Stay tuned for further news about the release dates and pricing!

First pic of a Windows 8 tablet!

Two days ago, we informed you that Microsoft will not port Windows Phone 7 for tablets. The most possible reason is that Microsoft wants to push their new OS coming 2012. Now we have the proof!

Here it is, the first pic of a tablet (seems to be the Asus Eee Slate EP121) using Windows 8! Looks quite good, doesn't it?



Actually we don't have any further news, because Microsoft and Asus denied the existence of the tablet...

Asus A100 coming in September!

A lot of new tablets are out now: The Xoom, Iconia Tab, Transformer, iPad 2... But you aren't either interested in bulky 10-inchers nor in tablets which use Gingerbread like the HTC Flyer or the 2010 Galaxy Tab?
Well, in less than two months Acer seems to be ready to ship their 7-inch tablet running Honeycomb 3.2! Finally!

The tablet features the common specs like Tegra 2, 2x 1GHz, 512MB Ram and 1.024 × 600 Pixel.
But the great thing of it is the price! Some rumors say that it will cost only $350 (!) in the beginning! So nobody can say that tablets are that expensive anymore...
Great news. It seems that the tablets are finally getting cheaper. CG is very interested in this tablet and we hope that Asus will ship the A100, as announced, in September...

Rumor: Amazon tablet before October? Two new Kindles in Q3?

There have been a lot of rumors about the tablet from Amazon. According to the The Wall Street Journal, the anticipated tablet could be out before October!
And there are also some specs! It seems that the tablet will not feature a camera! What, no cam? Yeah. Amazon wants to build a 9-inch-tablet which is designed to consume the media you bought from the integrated service...

There are also rumors about two new Kindle: The first one features a touchscreen (!). Seems to be the new flagship of the future.
The other: a budget version which should be the same as the current generation of the Kindle...

Looking forward to all three products from Amazon, but remember: these are still all rumors....

No Windows Phone 7 tablets! Microsoft wants to push Windows 8!

We will never see a tablet like this..

Ever thought about a tablet which runs Windows Phone 7? Great idea?! Not for Microsoft!
At the Worldwide Partners Conference the president of Windows Phone, Andy Lee, said there is actually zero chance of seeing a Windows Phone 7 tablet today and in future! 
Hm what does this mean? Well, the team of California's Gadget believe there is only one reason: Microsoft wants to push Windows 8; not only on PCs but also on tablets! Sounds logical, but Microsoft must be beware: Not using WP7 also means losing another year on the tablet market, which is one of the fastest growing sectors worldwide. As we can see on the smartphone market, it is not that easy to get a piece of the cake...

The GUI of Windows 8

Archos announced two honeycomb 3.1 tablets!

Looking for a honeycomb tablet but those available at the moment just don't suit you? Well, thanks to Archos, you'll have two more tablets to choose from soon. The "80 G9" and the "101 G9", the only difference being the screen with 8 inches (1024x768) on the "80" and 10.1 inches (1280x800) on the "101". Read on for the full specs.

• incredibly big harddrive of 250GB (!)
• powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
• a full-size USB port
• upgradable to 3G with the G9 3G WWAN stick for $49
• HDMI output

Archos is going to release both in September, the "80" for 279 and the "101" for 349 bucks. As for pricing and specs, those two tablets would sweep all competitors out of the way. Sounds too good, right? That's what we thought, so we stay sceptic until we hold it in our own hands. Stay tuned!

Amazon tablet in August?

Rumors have been told for quite a while now. Is or isn't Amazon going to release its own tablet? Now, we've got the information "Quanta Computer" might be responsible for an TI processor and a Wintek touch panel. Allegedly, Amazon's going to release it in August this year. Just like mentioned before, those are alls still rumors but we sure think its possible and even likely.

Galaxy Tab 8.9 - sooner than expected!

Some press releases of Samsung already mentioned that the 10.1 will be available in August, at least within the nordic territories. But due to rumors about some issues with its screen, there hasn't been a release date for the 8.9-inch-model... until now! Now, Samsung's Galaxy Tab 8.9 is set to be available sometime in September. But for now, still only in the northern countries of Europe. Keep your fingers crossed for the rest of the world to follow soon...

Asus Eee Pad Transformer going to sell 300.000 times in June

The CEO, Jerry Shen, says that he expects to sell about 300.000 Transformers this month. Including April, the Taiwanese company is going to sell about 400.000 tablets. Not bad at all, but the iPad is still the tablet to beat...
