‘dual-core’ Stories
Lenovo S2 tablets shown off at CES
Qualcomm Snapdragon GameCommand launch date set
This week the folks at Qualcomm are letting loose a bit more information on what's now set to be called Snapdragon GameCommand, an environment not unlike what we've seen thus far from NVIDIA and their Tegra Zone, both arenas containing games that, at least for a limited time, work only on their own chipsets. We first heard about this Qualcomm project back in June, it then being nicknamed the Qualcomm Snapdragon Game Pack. Since then they've given a face and a brand new application to the project, and it'll all be shown off on the 10th of this month, right in the middle of CES 2012.

Lenovo LePad K2 Tegra 3 tablet benchmarks look to take on ASUS
We're all well aware by now that the first quad-core Android tablet in the world will indeed by the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, complete with NVIDIA Tegra 3 - but here comes the second, a Lenovo device that this week has appeared in benchmark tests showing its upcoming might. What we've got so far for specifications on this yet to be formally announced device is a 10.1-inch display, NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-core processor, and indeed the code-name LePad K2. While this may end up becoming the real release name of the tablet, we'll just have to wait and see, as believe it or not, ASUS still has the only announced and official device out there thus far with Tegra 3 onboard.

Samsung Captivate Glide review
When it comes to releasing new devices, Samsung and the rest of the manufacturer bunch doesn’t always aim for the top of the ladder – case in point, the Samsung Captivate Glide, a dual-core smartphone with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slide-out keyboard. This device is being released on AT&T’s 4G network (not LTE, mind you, just regular ol’ 4G) and is currently one of the only dual-core smartphones with a keyboard on the market. If we turn away from the keyboard for a moment and focus on the rest of the device, I think you’ll find that while this handset certainly doesn’t seem to be up to the task of beating down the very top of the pack of smartphones out today, it’s certainly a wrestler for the dual-core lovers of you out there in AT&T Land.
Here’s why the DROID RAZR is the ideal Android for today’s mobile landscape
Let me tell you here why Motorola presented the ideal phone for a person like me this week in New York City. And also let me tell you why I’m sad it didn’t come out several months ago. First, the positives – they all begin with the heavy metal that makes up the majority of this device. Then let’s speak about how thin and lovely this device very much appears to be. Then we’ll speak about how even though I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus sooner than later, you certainly don’t have to. This is the DROID RAZR, the greatest Motorola smartphone ever created and soon to be at once the thinnest and the toughest to break smart handset on the market.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus on Amazon now
The seven-inch display-having Samsung Galaxy Tab with a "Plus" at the end of it is now available for pre-order on Amazon. This recently revealed device has not had its shipping date revealed, but you'll be able to pre-order the device from the big A right this very moment. This appears to be the first place in the world that future users will be able to order the device for ownership, with the Galaxy Tab 10.1-inch iteration having been out on the market in several different versions now for several months.

Motorola DROID RAZR: what we’ll see tomorrow
Earlier today we were given a few more clues as to what we’ll be seeing at the big Motorola news conference tomorrow in New York City – a device by the name of DROID RAZR now seems rather likely, a new crowned king of Verizon LTE devices, soon to be in our hands. But what have we gathered as far as specifications go? How big is the display, what’s going on with the camera, and what sort of processor is inside? And most importantly, will the full package equal a device that’s going to entice those who also have had the choice of picking up a dual-core smartphone from Motorola since early this year with the original Atrix, the USA’s first dual-core smartphone?
Apple iPhone 4S A5 chip vs 1.5 GHz dual-core Galaxy S II in browser tests [Video]
Though the 1.5 GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor may be the highest GHz dual-core processor in the land today, from what we’re seeing here, the Apple A5 chip in the iPhone 4S certainly seems to be holding its own when tossed into the out-of–box browser competition. What we’ve got here for you is a slightly unscientific set of tests, one that first shows the difference between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S, that is single-core compared to dual-core chips from Apple, then the iPhone 4S VS the Samsung Galaxy S II carried by T-Mobile, this version having a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor, all tests conducted simply by tapping a link and seeing how fast they can load a webpage.
HTC Jetstream Review
Presenting HTC’s vision for the perfect 10-inch Android tablet, the HTC Jetstream, complete with a Qualcomm MSM8660 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor under the hood and a pricy $700 USD bill attached to it carried by AT&T. The question we’ve got on our minds, and have had on our minds since the pricing was first announced is: how could a 10-inch tablet enter an environment with several 10-inch tablets already having been out for several months with a significantly higher price and expect to do well for sales? As it turns out, this HTC tablet does not hold back – not in construction or content – but will its individual specifications be enough to create one product worthy of the price tag?
Motorola ET1 Android tablet is 7-inches of business
This week we're bearing witness to Motorola's newest tablet effort, the ET1, a 7-inch Android device made to fill the enterprise gap left by BlackBerry and the Windows crew, pushing simplicity and ruggedness amongst its qualities. It's got a 1GHz unnamed dual-core processor, Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with enhanced enterprise functionality, and a 7-inch capacitive 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display covered with Gorilla Glass. Rare to tablets, this device has a replaceable battery (at 4620 mAh) and will be weighing in at 1.4 pounds. Will this device find its place where Motorola aims it to sit, in the business world, or will it crash under pressure from the consumer market?

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor details revealed
For those of you that pick up your smartphone and simply expect it to run, and run well, and don’t give a hoot about what’s under the hood, keep on walking, because this is detailed specifications talk right here in this post. What we’ve got here is an announcement from Qualcomm about their upcoming next-generation SoC, or System on Chip, or if you prefer, processor – the big fat engine that makes your smartphone able to run with great power and live up to your harsh, harsh expectations. This is Qualcomm’s S4 SoC, complete a brand new 28nm manufacturing process and an undeniably excellent combination: Qualcomm’s Krait CPU and the Adreno 225 GPU.
HTC Jetstream unboxing and hands-on [Video]
It’s time for HTC to join the 10-inch Android tablet game, and with what might be the highest-quality build on an tablet with Honeycomb inside to date with the HTC Jetstream – but is it too late to jump in? And at $699.99 WITH a 2-year contract on AT&T, is it much, much too expensive to compete with the rest of the tablet crowd? That’s what they’re saying, ladies and gentlemen, but we’ve gotta be sure – OR prove them all wrong, of course. This tablet has hit the SlashGear review bench today, and here we take our first look at its final-build insides and out.
