Motorola XOOM Review

, Feb 23rd 2011 Discuss [49]

Motorola’s big launch of CES 2011 and the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet on the market, the Motorola XOOM has a lot to live up to. In its haste to reach Verizon shelves, the XOOM could seem a little half-baked; it doesn’t get Flash Player support for another few weeks, and won’t have 4G until an update sometime in Q2. Still, as the iPad has shown, there are undoubtedly benefits to being first out of the gate, and there’s undoubtedly plenty on offer. Can the XOOM bypass pricing skepticism? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Advent Vega Review

, Dec 7th 2010 Discuss [16]

Low-cost Android tablets aren’t unusual; good low-cost Android tablets are a different matter. Advent’s Vega slate – on sale through DSG’s PC World, Currys and Dixons in the UK – bucks the Android trend by carrying a low sticker price of £249 ($395) and decent hardware specs, including NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2 processor. It’s a combination that has seen DSG struggle to keep the Vega in stock for more than an hour at a time, but is this really the bargain Froyo slate we’ve been waiting for? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Verizon Galaxy Tab Review

, Nov 15th 2010 Discuss [14]

You can’t accuse Samsung of lacking ambition with their recent mobile device launches. After pushing out versions of the Galaxy S across all the major US carriers, they’re doing the same with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. We’ve already looked at the original European and T-Mobile USA versions of the 7-inch Froyo slate; now it’s the Verizon Wireless model on the SlashGear test bench. Read on for the full review.

Huawei S7 Preview

, Nov 9th 2010 Discuss [26]

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab isn’t the only 7-inch Android slate taking on Steve Jobs’ iPad preferences; Huawei still falls short of being a household name, but the company has nonetheless managed to get its Ideos S7 tablet on Best Buy shelves alongside the Galaxy Tab later this month. It’ll also make its European debut in early December, and at $299.99/£288 it’s also significantly cheaper than the Tab, though with a few understandable compromises along the way. Keep reading for our full Huawei S7 preview.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

, Oct 31st 2010 Discuss [75]

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab proved to be the product of IFA 2010, and has seldom left the headlines since its Berlin debut. Seven inches of Android slate, it promises to be the open alternative to Apple’s iPad and the poster-child for Google’s OS done right on a bigger display. It’s also prompted some significant criticism, with even Steve Jobs weighing in on how suitable the Tab’s screen and OS are to tablet use. Plenty to live up to, then, not least the price tag; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Dell Streak Review

, Jun 12th 2010 Discuss [14]

Since the first rumors many months back, to Michael Dell flashing his prototype in the street and then a few quiet appearances at trade shows, the Dell Streak has taken its time coming to market. Running Android on a broad, eye-catching 5-inch display, there’s little like it on the market and it’s been an attention-grabber ever since. Yes, the Streak is a device that certainly prompts questions – among geeks and everyday users alike – but the one we set out to answer is simple: is it any good? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

iPad WiFi + 3G Review

, May 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

With over 1m iPads sold, it’s looking like Apple’s tablet gamble has paid off. Ironically the milestone was reached on the same day that the iPad WiFi + 3G debuted, the 3G-enabled version of the touchscreen slate that promises to set you loose from WiFi hotspots. After the cut, check out the SlashGear review, complete with MiFi benchmarking and some surprising battery findings.

Camangi WebStation Review

, Apr 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

The Camangi WebStation was announced back when Android-based tablets were still a novelty; since then we’ve seen the iPad launch, various other tablets attempt to grab our attention, and read a few pretty dire reviews of the company’s first-gen offering. On the SlashGear test bench today, then, is the “new upgraded version”of the WebStation; at $275 it’s around half the price of Apple’s tablet, but is it double the value? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Apple iPad Review

, Apr 3rd 2010 Discuss [19]

The Apple iPad is here, and if ever there was a contentious gadget, this is it. We met with Apple this past week to pick up one of a few iPads let out into the wild early, and have been playing with it ever since. Already the subject of countless discussions, arguments and parodies – not least because of what it doesn’t do rather than what it’s actually capable of – there’s also a grudging expectation that, if anyone can make tablets wildly popular, it’s probably Apple. So, does the iPad live up to its promise, or is this really just an oversized iPod touch too big (and too expensive) for your pocket? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Review

, Mar 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

While Lenovo have long offered tablet PCs in their ThinkPad range, CES 2010 saw the surprising debut of several more consumer-focused touchscreen devices. The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t lacks the eye-catching removable display of its U1 sibling, but still promises the company’s legendary build quality along with the benefits of capacitive multitouch. Does the IdeaPad S10-3t tick all our tablet boxes? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

PsiXpda UMPC review

, Jan 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

Tablets are a fashionable topic right now – Apple are expected to announce their own model next week, and CES 2010 was positively dripping with touchscreens – but we’ve been hammering on about how useful a compact ultramobile device can be for years now. Before Christmas new UK startup PsiXpda dropped off their first offering, a compact UMPC with a slick, sliding/tilting form-factor, and asked us to give our honest opinion. At a shade under £500 ($820) the PsiXpda isn’t cheap, especially in a world of netbooks and “superphones”; check out how it does in the full SlashGear review after the cut.
