Overwhelmed by the dinner plate proportions of 10-inch tablets like the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? Huawei thinks it has the answer with the MediaPad, a 7-inch Android tablet.
Huawei isn’t the first tablet maker to shoot for a 7-inch figure, but the MediaPad will supposedly be the first tablet to run Android 3.2, a version of …
In a rumor that’s as shaky as rumors get, Samsung may be working on an updated version of its 7-inch Galaxy Tab.
That’s right, the original iPad rival that was quickly overshadowed by newer, shinier competition — including the iPad 2 and a bigger Samsung tablet — is reportedly getting a refresh, according to Italy’s unofficial …
Another day, another Android tablet that’s cheaper than Apple’s iPad. The Toshiba Thrive will start at $429 when it launches this July, Engadget reports.
Mind you, the low price comes with some sacrifices. The Thrive’s base model includes a mere 8 GB of storage. For 16 GB and 32 GB models, you’ll pay $479 and $579, respectively. It’s …

In the game of Android tablets, Dell has two strikes against it.
Strike one was the original Dell Streak, a 5-inch tablet remarkable for its lack of identity. Was it an oversized phone, or a diminutive tablet? Dell’s press releases suggested the latter, but the only way to reduce the Streak’s shocking $550 price tag was to sign up for …
By now, everyone assumes that Amazon is making an Android tablet, but that’s only part of the company’s Android plans, according to one rumor.

A little over a week ago, I wondered whether the world needed tablets that were significantly less costly and significantly less fancy than the iPad and its most prominent rivals. A couple of commenters said that such a beast already existed: Barnes & Noble’s …
I’ll admit to being skeptical about T-Mobile’s G-Slate Android tablet at first.
I’m not big on this idea of selling tablets through wireless carriers, so when I heard the tablet would cost $750 unless purchased with a two-year service agreement, I didn’t have high hopes for it.
As it turns out, I actually like this tablet …
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.
