Now, you can add Android 3.0 Honeycomb to the list of platforms deemed worthy by Amazon’s app makers. The latest update to Kindle for Android …
My TIME.com Technologizer column this week looks at RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook, a new tablet that’s frustrating in its initial incarnation: it’s full of promise, but feels like RIM simply didn’t have time to finish it before getting it out the door.
Despite the PlayBook’s software issues, the hardware is quite pleasing. With one …
For those of you keeping score: We got the first iPad about a year ago, then nothing for a long time, then a brief and expensive blip on the radar called the Samsung Galaxy Tab, then nothing for a long time, then the Motorola Xoom, followed a couple weeks later by the iPad 2, and now all hell’s breaking loose. The BlackBerry Playbook is …
Well it only took a little over a year, but Android tablet makers have finally decided to compete against the iPad’s $500 starting price.

Toshiba’s been talking up its Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet since January, but has kept quiet on details until now.
In Japan, at least, the tablet is dubbed the Toshiba Regza AT300, and carries a price tag of 60,000 yen (roughly $723).
A product page on Toshiba’s Dynabook.com website confirms specs posted earlier on Amazon: …
Research in Motion’s Blackberry Playbook tablet got dinged by critics for its reliance on a Blackberry phone for e-mail and calendar support, among other things, but with AT&T, it’s a moot point.
That’s because Blackberry Bridge, an app which connects Blackberry phones to the Playbook tablet, isn’t available to AT&T customers. …

Samsung pulled a cheap trick when it revealed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 at the CTIA trade show in March: Although the company provided a handful of specs, a price and a release date, the actual tablet was powered off and trapped behind glass.
