NEC Android tablet to drop in Japan this fall?

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 27th 2009 1 Comment

Little more than a tiny image and a handful of specs right now, but NEC are believed to be working on a mobile PC that, to our squinting at least, looks to be Android based. The touchscreen slate has a 7- to 8-inch LCD display, and NEC apparently have high hopes for its sales performance: they're predicting that they'll eventually ship over 1m of the UMPCs each year.

Apple touting Tablet in Australia?

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 27th 2009 No Comments

The Apple Tablet rumors this week have already been tenuous and, well, more tenuous, so let's throw another vaguely unbelievable tidbit into the ring. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Apple have been shopping around their tablet to Australian media companies, "in an effort to sound out whether they would be interested in delivering their content to the tablet." The paper suggests that Apple have been sending around details of the tablet's specifications; however none of the media companies themselves would talk on the record.

Apple tablet SIM-tray spotted for sale; Foxconn tipped as manufacturer (again)

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 26th 2009 1 Comment

Now the SlashGear team love tech in all its myriad forms, but even we’d have trouble mustering too much enthusiasm for a SIM tray. However, we’ll make a semi-exception for a tray tipped to slot into Apple’s fourth-gen iPhone or “iTablet”; according to ChinaOnTrade, this part – which they claim to have directly sourced from Foxconn, already fingered as a potential Apple Tablet manufacturer – will go on sale October 23rd for $14.05.

NYT exec tips “impending Apple slate” [Video]

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 26th 2009 No Comments

Has NYT executive editor Bill Keller accidentally let slip details of Apple’s upcoming tablet? That’s the big question after video footage of the paper’s Internal Neiman Jornalism Lab leaked out, in which Keller mentions delivering journalism to “the impending Apple slate”. Some sites are seeing this as confirmation not only that Apple are developing the tablet and working with news organisations, but of the name of the device itself.

Nokia N920 leaks? Non-QWERTY capacitive Internet Tablet tipped

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Oct 15th 2009 1 Comment

We’re inherently sceptical of anything blurry that’s claiming to be a prototype, so throw some salt over your shoulder and take a look at what’s tipped as Nokia’s next-gen N9xx-series Internet Tablet device. According to imobile365 the Nokia N920 will be a touchscreen-only device, using a 4.13-inch capacitive touchscreen rather than the N900’s 3.5-inch resistive panel and supporting multitouch gestures on Maemo 6.

ASUS Eee PC T101H gets Atom N450, coming Jan 2010?

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Oct 14th 2009 No Comments

The wire has been pretty barren when it comes to word of ASUS’ upcoming 10.2-inch convertible touchscreen netbook, the Eee PC T101H. Last we heard, ASUS had pushed its release back until September “at the earliest” and were watching sales performance of the T91 before finally green-lighting the project; now, according to NetbookNews’ sources, the T101H will make its official debut at CES 2010, complete with Intel’s next-gen Atom N450 1.66GHz processor.
