Although a lot less conspicuous than their civilian-oriented counterparts, plenty of tablets targeting the military and first-response segments have made their way onto the market, one of the latest we’ve come across being the Harris Ruggedized Tablet. Without a doubt, one of the most interesting features the Harris Ruggedized Tablet has in store is the fact that it comes pre-loaded with the Android OS, which means that users who’ve gotten used to this operating system in their civilian lives will find it particularly easy to get accustomed... 

While the idea of a tablet capable of supporting no less than three different operating systems will likely appeal mostly to enthusiasts, it seems that there’s plenty of them to go around, since an Italian integrator has just recently a new device capable of undertaking the exact task mentioned above. So, what we’re talking about here is the Ekoore Python S, a 10-inch device that’s actually capable of running three of the best-known operating systems around, namely the Android 3.2 Honeycomb (a future upgrade to the Android 4 ICS... 

Although Hyundai is best-known for its automobiles, the company has also been actively involved in the IT world for quite a long time now, via its dedicated branch, Hyundai IT. And since tablets are all the rage right now, Hyundai IT has decided to roll out a new product of this type targeting specifically the entry-level segment, namely the A7 Android tablet. The Hyundai IT A7 Android tablet is a 7-inch portable device powered by a rather unfamiliar Allwinner A10 CPU running at 1.5GHz. In order to further boost its overall functionality, the A7... 

ViewSonic decides to really make a mark at this year’s International CES, and for this reason, it released a large number of new products, including here two new ViewPad tablets, namely the 10pi and 10e models.  The first model we’re talk about is actually a slate, since the ViewPad 10pi runs the Windows 7 Professional operating system (although it also supports Android 2.3), with the help of its built-in Intel Oak Trail z670 processor. Additionally, the tablet also boasts dual cameras for business video conferencing with an IPS 1280×800... 

Although Android is typically considered to be an OS targeting tablets and smartphones, it seems that Lenovo has a whole different idea on the matter, since they’ve just unveiled a new notebook, the ThinkPad X1 Hybrid, that comes preloaded with the aforementioned OS from Google.  Of course, Android is not the main OS for Lenovo’s new portable system, but rather the “Instant-On” operating system used for getting fast and easy access to a couple of web-related features, such as web browsing and email. And in order to be able... 

The tablet market is quite clearly going nowhere but upwards, and for this reason, it shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise that everyone wants a piece of it, whether in terms of hardware of software. And while Google already dominates this particular segment in terms of software (after all, its Android operating system is one of the two major OS’ currently battling it out), it seems that it’s keen on releasing a hardware solution of its own as well, under the already famous Nexus brand. So, as NotebookItalia reports, Google’s... 

The Galaxy Nexus smartphone was introduced hours ago and it is the first gadget to bring Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to the consumer. Here is what to expect from the tablets that will come. The Android 4.0 and Galaxy Nexus video shows just a part of what the mobile OS will be capable of. Until then we’re looking at a powerful smartphone powered by speed demons on Tron bikes. Other than that the new OS can initiate data transfers over a new feature called Android Beam, it can shoot panoramic photos, it can also unlock the device by using... 

There’s nothing like a good leak to ruin a company’s secrecy and that is why we love them. This time we see T-Mobile having some trouble keeping a secret the launch of three new tablets. The three tablets will be available starting October 26th and all the way through November. The first one that’s going to hit the shelves is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, priced at $399. A 10.1″ 1280×800 display, powered by Android Honeycomb 3.2 and NVidia 3.2 – this is what you get if you decide to go for T-Mobiles price. The Huawei... 

It looks like Intel processors will make their way into Android devices. We will not wait that long for this moment: starting January 2012 the first Intel powered Android gadgets will show up. While operating systems developers are talking about making their products work on ARM chips, others are thinking exactly the contrary: ARM based OS working on Intel chips. To be more specific Google is planning to adopt Intel Atom chips (E6xx Series) for the Android Gingerbread operating system. Although Android is currently on a roll with Honeycomb and is... 

Up until now Google was a major mobile software developer that has surpassed Apple’s iOS, but it lacked a hardware division. By the end of this year Google will have acquired Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion. Google has entered the hardware market by acquiring Motorola Mobility and all of its patents for $12.5B. As we all know there are quite some issues with patent law suits these days. But nevertheless Google has its own hardware division and can now start making smartphones and tablets. Although this action may rise some questions...
