The 10.2-inch device gives you a true multitouch experience, with finger pinching. The $790 price already includes 3G, GPS and even a webcam. You [...]

Ahead of the Apple iPad launch, X2 has released the Windows 7 iTablet. Yes, a non-Apple iTablet and it is available in many sizes from 10.2 inches to 12.1 inches. It is powered by a 1.6 GHz processor and employs a hard-disk storage giving this baby a 35mm thickness, which is really thick. In exchange [...]

All right, we weren’t too impressed with the Apple iPad specs–no multitasking, no webcam, no Flash–but then when the $499 price was announced, we were almost willing to overlook the downside of the Apple tablet. Apple is just genius. One of the worst product releases by the company in recent memory, the iPad still manages [...]

That’s not to say the Apple iPad Tablet will be a sales failure, in relative terms of course, but from what I can see, COWON isn’t taking this MID (mobile Internet device) or Tablet business seriously. The COWON W2 just doesn’t cut it, if you ask me, even if it can run Windows 7 as [...]

With all the Windows 7 tablets coming out, what’s an XP MID gonna do? Why, get cheaper of course. When the BenQ S6 MID was announced it was going for $420 or thereabouts. But that was last year. This year you can buy one online for $50 cheaper. That’s not a lot as price drops [...]

We’re quite interested at how Pegatron is coming along in terms of OEM manufacturing arm of Asustek (yes, the Eee PC Asustek) is keen on making a brand name of itself beginning with the AQUIC netbook. That one didn’t catch too much attention so maybe a tablet would. Enter the Pegatron Slate, an 11.6-inch touchscreen [...]

It seemed so long ago when we found out COWON was coming out with a MID powered by Intel Atom processor. Dubbed the COWON W2, we have yet to see what it looks like. Thanks to our friends at Dapreview, we now know the W2 isn’t a looker as far as MIDs are concerened. It’s [...]

Two very interesting products in the UMPC and MID categories from Viliv are going to show next year at CES. The Viliv N5 is a clamshell device with a 4.8-inch 1024 x 600 screen (look at that resolution!). It will have 3G, WiFi and GPS. The Viliv S10 “Blade” convertible netbook is going to make [...]
