Dell Flips the Tablet Concept Around

Dell Flips the Tablet Concept Around

Dell introduces Windows tablet that comes with a keyboard and may be essentially turned into a standard laptop.

Senh: Cool. I'll probably get this rather than the iPad. I like the iPad, but I already have an HD2, which can do pretty much everything the iPad can, except the screen is only 4.3".

Samsung suggests Galaxy Tab will cost between $200 and $400 -- also coming to Vodafone UK

Early reports indicate Europe will pay a pretty penny for Samsung's Galaxy Tab, but the 7-inch tablet may cost a good bit less when it comes to US shores -- the Wall Street Journal paraphrases a Samsung executive who claims it could run between $200 and $300 depending on the all-important carrier subsidies.

 

How does Samsung's Galaxy Tab compare?

Tablet computers to rival Apple's iPad are creating a stir as one of Europe's largest technology shows, the IFA, gets under way in Berlin.

Senh: It's interesting that the editor of Gizmodo on the video thinks that tablet computers are completely unnecessary if you've already have a smartphone and a laptop. Blame Steve Jobs. He's created a completely new market for tablet computers. I tend to agree with her. I have an HD2 and doesn't feel the need for an iPad, but I've heard of many people who has converted. Samsung's Galaxy Tab is only 7" compared to the 10" iPad. Since it's running Android which supports Flash, it's a great alternative to the iPad.

 

Rumor: Google Chrome OS Tablet May Launch on Black Friday

Rumor: Google Chrome OS Tablet May Launch on Black Friday

Google is apparently planning on launching its own tablet device, but instead of relying on its already popular Android OS, this tablet will run Chrome OS. The rumor mill pegs Google's tablet launch date as November 26, which also happens to be “Black Friday" ...

Senh: It's a same. Google started building Chrome OS targeting the netbook market. Now, it seems like the iPad had stolen its thunder. It's gonna be confusing. Tablet manufacturers have already started building Android-powered tablets. Users will be confused and think that Chrome OS will be able to run apps created for Android devices. I think they might have to scrap Chrome OS eventually. It doesn't make sense to have both.

 

Dell Pitching "Streak" Tablet To Schools, Government

Dell Pitching

The PC maker hopes to sell its new tablet computer to the public sector as well as consumers.

Senh: It's a tweener - bigger than a smartphone, but smaller than the iPad. I have an HD2, which has 4.3" screen. The Dell Streak is only 5". That's not much bigger than what I have. Is it really a tablet computer? Sounds more like a smartphone. I'm kinda disappointed by Dell. This is no tablet. This is just a bigger smartphone. I was expecting a bit more. Meh. If you already have a smartphone, there's really no reason to get this. The nice thing with the iPad is you can actually browse the web without zooming in and out. The experience on the Dell Streak is not much different than a HD2, Evo, or Droid X, so why bother. For the record, this is a smartphone; it's not a tablet.

BlackBerry Tablet Coming this November? [REPORT]

BlackBerry tablet rumors continue to gain momentum, with a new report indicating that the device, possibly to be called the BlackPad, is set to hit stores this November.

Senh: Steve Jobs once again proved everyone wrong with the iPad's success. The initial reviews were mixed at best, but now, it's obvious that it's a huge hit and is changing the course of personal computing. Every cellphone maker is making a tablet computer. Now, it's the BlackBerry's turn.
