Asus announced the news on Thursday. The $399 price tag is for a 16 GB model, and there’s a 32 GB model available for $499. An optional laptop dock, which provides a keyboard, trackpad, two …
Recently percolating rumors have suggested delayed launch dates for Android tablets from several manufacturers. Acer’s Iconia tablet may not ship until May, Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer’s ship date has apparently slipped, and there’s loose talk that HTC’s Flyer tablet may show up later than expected, though the company has said it’s still …
Well it’s about time. Howsabout a nice golf clap for Acer, huh? The company apparently didn’t get (or flat-out ignored!) the NOBODY UNDERCUT THE IPAD’S $500 PRICE TAG! memo.
The 10.1-inch Acer Iconia Tab A500 Android tablet is now available for pre-order at Best Buy for $450. That’s $50 less than the lowest-priced iPad 2, which means …
Well, of course Motorola has only sold 100,000 Xoom tablets so far.
That’s not a precise number, but it’s the amount of people using Android 3.0 Honeycomb, according to Deutsche Bank’s check of the Android developer website. Motorola’s Xoom is the only Android 3.0 Honeycomb on the market right now, so it’s fair to say that sales are …
Apple stunned tech pundits in January 2010, when it announced the iPad for a $499 base price. The company known for premium products was selling its cutting-edge tablet for near-netbook prices.
More than a year later, the competition is about to give Apple a run for its money. Three upcoming tablets — Acer’s Iconia A100, Asus’ Eee …

As the first serious Android tablet out of the gates back in November of last year, Samsung’s 7-inch Galaxy Tab had its $600 to $650 price tag (unless subsidized by a wireless contract) working against it right away.
Five months later, and we’re finally about to see the Wi-Fi-only version that’s been rumored since before the 3G …
The 10.1-inch Asus Eee Transformer tablet will be making its way to the U.S. soon, and if recently uncovered accidental product listings on both BestBuy.com and Newegg.com turn out to be legit—both sites have since taken the listings down—the Android tablet’s starting price will be $400.
Asus is perhaps best known as the company …
After showing phone makers how it’s done with the Nexus One and Nexus S smartphones, Google may be moving on to a Nexus tablet.
The Google-branded tablet would be manufactured by LG, CrunchGear’s John Biggs reports. However, the rumor says nothing about the hardware or software inside. Presumably, it would run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, …
Oh Samsung, you’re such a tease.
For a couple of weeks, you’ve been hinting at an 8.9 inch tablet, first with a press event invitation, and now with a YouTube video of some dimly-lit, stylized renderings. Just one problem: Nobody cares.
Admittedly, it was cool when you teased the original Galaxy Tab late last year. Back then, …
One of the Motorola Xoom’s missing pieces will fall into place with the arrival of Adobe Flash on March 18.
Adobe made the news official on its blog. Flash 10.2 will arrive alongside Android 3.0.1, an over-the-air software update that’s rolling out to Xoom tablets now. Adobe’s considering this a beta release for tablets, but the final …
I try to keep a level head about Apple products. I own several, but I also own plenty of non-Apple stuff as well (I use a PC! Can you believe it?!).
This whole tablet movement has been fascinating to watch, though, and Apple’s been navigating the minefield impressively. It’s setting up some mines along the way, which helps, but …
