Fujitsu Arrows LTE Tab Android slate aims directly at hardcore market

, Nov 9th 2011 Discuss [1]

This week we've already seen one tablet that's set to be nearly indestructible AND able to run Android in a single bound, now here's another - this one goes by the name Fujitsu Arrows LTE Tab and is able to be submerged under water completely, not just sprayed a bit in the face. It's a 10.1-inch display having 1280 x 800 pixel resolution toting Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet at the moment, and inside you'll find Tegra! Not Tegra 3, unfortunately, that honor is thus far reserved for the ASUS amongst us. UPDATE: There's been some confusion about the chip inside this device - though the video below says NVIDIA, inside this tablet is actually the lovely Texas Instruments OMAP4430, seen in quite a few excellent Androids as of late - take note!

Motorola Tablet hits FCC with scant details

, Oct 24th 2011 Discuss [0]

Today the FCC has posted a listing as filed by Motorola for a tablet that should be on its way to USA markets inside the year. That's generally what happens when a device from a big company such as Motorola hits the FCC in such a manner, and with what can only be described as a near blackout of details surrounding the tablet device in the FCC listing here, we must assume that its top secret nature was found to be important enough by Motorola and the FCC to keep it hidden. We know a piece of the FCC ID, that being IHDP56MJ3, the serial number KFLC140080, and that's about it. Motorola was the first group to be chosen by Google to run the very first tablet-based Android system as a hero - are they up to some sweet designs once more? Read The Full Story
