Woow is right. We have yet another new Android tablet to tell you about, this one supposedly shipping with Gingerbread this Christmas in Japan, with subsequent releases to follow in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Europe. It’s currently priced at ¥42,000 ($504), and will feature a Tegra 2 core, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of flash storage, and a 10-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600.

There’s no word right about about a US release date, but perhaps an announcement will be made sometime in the not too distant future.

The UK version of the ViewSonic ViewPad 7 comes with a pretty sweet deal, if you have an old laptop or netbook lying around that is. Right now, you can snag this Android tablet for £299.99 if you take advantage of this laptop/netbook trade-in deal where you send it your old device for a £100 discount.

If you don’t have anything to trade in you can still nab this puppy for £399, but if this is replacing your current laptop or netbook, I encourage you to take advantage of this deal.

Notion Ink Adam May Launch December 9th – Finally

The Notion Ink Adam site has made some drastic improvements over the past few days, as it used to look like someone puked flash on it, making it very difficult to look at, and do justice to the Adam tablet we all drooled over at CES 2010. Fear not however, as a tipster sent us some info showing the websites re-design, as well as a little binary counter in the upper right corner of the landing page. In binary, it says “1111″, which stands for 15. I know, “So what?!” you may say. 2 days ago it said “10001″, which we know is 17 in binary. Starting to come together now… :D

15 down from today takes us to December 9th 2010, which is starting to look like a heck of a day for new devices if this is some form of launching countdown ticker. Let’s hope it is, cause it’s been long enough without anyone being able to grab one of these!

We’ll keep you posted!

Dell has launched a couple more options for consumers who like the Dell Streak as it now comes in Cherry Red color option, as well as unlocked with Android 2.2! These are, at the moment, only available through Dell US, as we’re sure they’ll begin making this available in other countries very soon. Dell shows these available through their site for $579.99 for the 16GB models unlocked with Froyo, or $678.99 or the 32GB models unlocked with Froyo. The older versions running Android 1.6 are $30 less, but I’d easily say its worth the upgraded OS for another 30 bones, wouldn’t you?

Sounds like Acer is getting into the tablet game! The flagship Acer tablet sports a  10.1″ screen with 1280×800 screen resolution and dual-core 1GHz processor, as well as an HDMI output. Also, the tablet will have a 5 megapixel rear camera and an “HD” front-facing camera for video calls. The tablet will also feature a Gyroscope for gaming. As for the price, nothing has been confirmed, but this Acer tablet should be shipping in April 2011.

The unnamed 7″ tablet has the same screen resolution, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm process and Flash 10.1 support. From the looks of it, this tablet will be running Android 2.2, or Froyo. There will also be DLNA support as well as 3G connectivity (what carriers?!). This smaller Acer tablet will also reportedly see an April 2011 release date.

According to a tweet from Mr. Jeff Jarvis, the wifi-only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab has been put on hold, and he’s got the photo to prove it. To quote Jarvis:

Well the wifi Galaxy Tab’s on hold. See this Best Buy pullback. http://plixi.com/p/58573205

Looks like those of us holding off for a carrier free option are stuck for now. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.

Galaxy Tab Sales Cross the 600,000 Unit Mark

So, what happens when:

  1. You’re Samsung
  2. You have a wildly successful Galaxy S line of phones that is received across multiple carriers
  3. You use that same model to launch a tablet just before the iPad-filled holiday season

Apparently, you sell 600,000 units in your first 30 days.

Released in mid-October and trickling out through the various carriers, Samsung’s tablet is now available in over 30 countries, and most of the major carriers in North America are offering a variant.

What makes these numbers most impressive is that AT&T just started selling the device and Sprint’s only been selling them for about a week. Given that the market has been clamoring for a legitimate iPad challenger, it’s not surprising that the Galaxy Tab is being well-received, and with Christmas being just over a month away, you can expect to see sales continue to climb.

I’ll take mine on Sprint, please.

Samsung Galaxy Tab on AT&T, Rogers, Bell hacked for voice calls

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Remember last week, when some clever hackers at xda-developers got voice calling functional on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab? Well, they’re back with more. It would seem that, with the release of the Tab on AT&T comes the voice call hack for the very same tablet, and xda has the inside scoop on how to get it done for yourself.

Of course, just like last time, this isn’t a one-click trick. But, if you’re ready to don your geek hats and bust out with the nerd voice, hit the break for the official instructions. As always, you can hit the source link for the official thread over at xda, and TalkAndroid cannot be held liable to any damage to your device.
