ASUS PadFone Infinity review: the convertible phone goes full HD and beyond
# 2013-05-21 01:30:00, Engadget
Almost exactly two years ago, Motorola's Android-in-Webtop-OS solution was kicked off the stage by ASUS' PadFone, the world's first phone that could fully power a tablet module from its own OS. The original concept took a while to materialize, but since then the company has kept up with a surpri...Dish Anywhere on Android gets On Demand content streaming, tablet app
# 2013-05-20 21:57:00, Engadget

The experience has also receiv...Evolio announces the Quadra, its first quad-core Android 4.1 tablet for Romanian locals
# 2013-05-20 19:26:00, Engadget
The buy local movement has plenty of appeal, but the philosophy often extends more readily to tomatoes than tablets. Not so in Romania, where Evolio has served up its share of slates and laptops for the home crowd. Now, the company is back with its first quad-core tablet offering, the 10.1-inch ...Switched On: Hinging on success
# 2013-05-19 11:30:00, Engadget
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology. The announcement of the Acer Aspire R7 was the best example of the company's assertion that it was moving from computers designed with touch to computers designed for touch. But if having a fancy, even unprecedent...Python S3 is a new tablet that can't decide: boots Ubuntu, Android and Windows 8
# 2013-05-17 09:43:00, Engadget
Ubuntu tablets may not be particularly new, but thanks to its liberal build, things can get a bit more interesting when another OS is added to the mix. Ekoore's Python S3 tablet goes a little further, nestling Ubuntu, Android and Windows 8 behind its 11.6-inch screen. Specifications can be custo...Sony brings Android Open Source Project to Xperia Tablet Z (video)
# 2013-05-17 09:09:00, Engadget
Sony gifted its flagship Xperia Z smartphone with an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) build just last month, and now the stock operating system has made its way to the device's tablet counterpart, too. AOSP is now available for the Xperia Tablet Z -- it'll live on GitHub, along with instructio...Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 will reportedly have an 8-inch variant
# 2013-05-17 00:33:00, Engadget
When Samsung revealed the third iteration of its Galaxy Tab line, it was met with a somewhat underwhelming reception. But the Korean firm's never held back on trying out different shapes and sizes. This makes this latest leak -- of a reported 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3 -- at least plausible, and defini...Sony's 13.3-inch e-ink paper prototype shown off at education expo in Japan (video)
# 2013-05-16 22:43:00, Engadget
Earlier this week, we learned of Sony's plans for a 13.3-inch e-ink slate with stylus support pitched at students, and now Diginfo has caught up with the prototype device at the Educational IT Solutions Expo in Japan. The A4-sized tablet is said to be the first piece of hardware with an E Ink M...Archos intros Xenon 80 8-inch tablet, delivers Jelly Bean and 3G for $200
# 2013-05-16 12:59:00, Engadget
Just in case that recently announced ChefPad wasn't suited to your tastes, Archos is now introducing a smaller, not-so-kitchen-friendly Android tablet, the Xenon 80. Naturally, the main highlight of this 8-inch slate is that it boasts 3G capabilities, and the company's quick to point out it's SI...The Daily Roundup for 05.16.2013

# 2013-05-16 04:03:00, Engadget
Remember ASUS' Transformer Books? All is forgiven if you don't, as we're already approaching the one-year anniversary of when they were first revealed at Computex in Taipei. You'll get your choice of Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, and the ability to detach and use the device as a standalo...Lenovo's IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC finds a home in Treehouse workstation, other funky furniture
# 2013-05-16 01:31:00, Engadget
Looking for a place to stick that super-sized slate? You might opt to mount it in a wooden table modeled after a treehouse, or a piece of furniture designed to accommodate a digital "family game night." Of course, you'd clearly be drawing some inspiration from two such concepts that feature Leno...ASUS Fonepad gets a spec boost: 1.6GHz Intel processor, 32GB storage
# 2013-05-15 23:58:00, Engadget
ASUS' Fonepad has been making its way around the world with a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor and 16GB of built-in storage, but apparently there's a need for covering one's face with a beefier version. Announced in Taiwan earlier today, the 7-inch tabletphone will be offered with a faster 1.6G...Android to get built-in Bluetooth Smart Ready support this year
# 2013-05-15 15:42:00, Engadget
As powerful as Android can be, Bluetooth is one of its glaring weaknesses: the absence of a default Bluetooth framework has led to inconsistent implementations from both device builders and app developers. Google is at last covering that gaping hole, however. As hinted earlier today, it's incorp...Microsoft Surface Pro coming to the UK on May 23rd starting at £719
# 2013-05-15 13:01:00, Engadget
Microsoft has a good excuse for the Surface Pro's late arrival in the UK: the company claims that demand in the US stripped its cupboards bare, leaving nothing but RT crumbs to sell on this side of the Atlantic. In any case, Redmond tells us that a date has now been set, with the Core i5-powered...Google Play gets dedicated chart for Android tablet apps, web redesign
# 2013-05-15 06:49:00, Engadget
Many have chastised Google for doing little to properly expose Android tablet apps, but it's addressing that in style: the Google Play Store now includes a dedicated section in the charts for the top tablet-native releases, all of which meet the company's design guidelines for bigger screens. Th...Dell XPS 10 with Windows RT gets major price cut: base model now $300
# 2013-05-14 23:24:00, Engadget
We don't know for sure that Dell's been experiencing the weak demand for Windows RT Samsung's been so vocal about, but significant price cuts to its XPS 10 tablet hybrid suggest it hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves. Not only has the $500 tag for the tablet with 32GB of storage dropped t...Aquos Pad SH-08E flaunts 7-inch high-res IGZO display, 1.7GHz quad-core processor
# 2013-05-14 19:40:00, Engadget
Amid the bevy of phones outed in NTT DoCoMo's summer lineup, the Japanese carrier snuck in a tablet: Sharp's Aquos Pad SH-08E. A 7-inch 1,920 x 1,200 IGZO display dominates the front of the Android 4.2 device, while a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and a 4,200mAh battery are tucked in...Archos launches ChefPad, a 9.7-inch Android tablet for your kitchen
# 2013-05-14 01:31:00, Engadget
Does your kitchen need a 9.7-inch Jelly Bean tablet to call its own? No, it certainly does not. But if your budget can accommodate such a device, it might look just like the Archos ChefPad, "the perfect tablet for the cooking enthusiast." Under the splash-resistant case, you'll find a standard s...Sqigle's Earl tablet brings Android to the wilderness with e-paper, solar power
# 2013-05-13 08:46:00, Engadget
Although there's no dearth of rugged tablets, most are still built on the assumption that civilization is close at hand. Sqigle, however, suggests that its upcoming Earl tablet could work even if there's no civilization left. The new, crowdfunded Android 4.1 slate centers on a light-up, 6-inch e...Sony reveals prototype 13.3-inch e-ink slate with stylus, aims to put it in students' bags
# 2013-05-12 22:13:00, Engadget
Sony's no stranger to the odd e-ink device, but its latest prototype creation isn't targeted at the bookworm, it's intended to educate. The e-paper slate is quite a lot bigger than most tablets, let alone e-readers, sporting a 13.3-inch screen (1,200 x 1,600) to match the standard A4 size of nor...Notion Ink Adam II teased at India's National Technology Awards (updated)
# 2013-05-12 12:02:00, Engadget
Remember the Notion Ink Adam? We'll forgive you if you don't -- the device fell a bit short of expectations, and news of its successor has been scarce. Save for a few teasing tweets, Notion Ink has kept the project pretty close to its chest. That changed this weekend, however, when the tablet's ...External pinball controls for an Android tablet
# 2013-05-12 03:01:14, Hack a Day
This hack, which adds external flipper controls to Android pinball, is a great way to cut your teeth at Android hardware hacking. [Ruben] decided to go with the TI Launchpad for this project. The MSP430 dev board offers serial communications via a USB connection, but it’s not quite as easy as just...Canalys: Android nabbed 75 percent of smartphone shipments in Q1
# 2013-05-09 13:28:00, Engadget
Canalys is back with its latest worldwide estimates of mobile device shipments, and while the analyst group has a divisive way of combining figures, there's plenty of insight to discover in its breakdown of the smartphone and tablet realms. First off, Canalys reports that Android accounted for 7...Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 hits the FCC with 7-inch screen and WiFi in tow
# 2013-05-08 22:29:00, Engadget
Just a little over a week after Samsung introduced the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3 to the world, and it's already made its way to the FCC for approval. There's not much to say here that we don't know about, but as expected, this particular model is WiFi-only, with no LTE or voice-enabled bands mentioned...ASUS 'We Transform' Computex teaser leaves us waiting for more teaser videos
# 2013-05-08 17:56:00, Engadget
Just like last year, ASUS is filling time before the Computex trade show by posting teaser trailers. Sporting a "We Transform" tag, its first one for 2013 features the spun metal casings, touchscreen laptops, convertibles, tablets and phones we've become accustomed to from the company. So what's...Kwikset introduces Kevo, a smartphone-friendly lock powered by UniKey

It's not the first time that Kwikset's dabbled in wireless locks, but today the company's introducing Kēvo, a smartphone- (and tablet-) friendly lock powered by UniKey.

Microsoft’s Corporate VP for Windows Julie Larson-Green was at WIRED’s Business Conference today, and she was put on the spot when asked by interviewer and WIRED Senior Editor Michael V. Copeland about the apparently sluggish start for Windows RT. RT’s failure is a consumer education problem, ...Bill Gates: iPad users are frustrated because they "can't type, can't create documents"
# 2013-05-06 10:30:00, TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
A long-time champion of tablet computing, one has to wonder how former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates feels given that Apple seemingly swooped in out of nowhere and quickly claimed the tablet market as its own in 2010. Indeed, the latest data from IDC indicates that the iPad amassed a 39.6 percent market...
