MG Siegler has a super, super exclusive over at TechCrunch regarding Amazon’s much rumoured Kindle Tablet that he reckons will retail for $250 — this year. I strongly recommend have a read of his post. It’s called simply the “Amazon Kindle”. But it’s not like any Kindle you’ve seen before. It displays content in full [...]

HP Touchpad: The breakout success of the summer? Only at £89!
There’s always a market, it just depends on the price. Sometimes it’s free. Sometimes you need to pay folk. Other times you just need to adjust the price a little. It turns out that there is what us economists refer to as dramatic elasticity when it comes to tablets that aren’t named ‘iPad’. Whilst nobody [...]

You can — provided your luck holds — get yourself a brand new BlackBerry PlayBook today in the United Kingdom. Currys, Dixons, PC World, Carphone Warehouse, Insight UK and Phones4U will all be making the tablet available this morning. As yet I haven’t seen any PlayBooks ‘in the wild’ in London but after today, I’m [...]

Video: BlackBerry PlayBook Overview
I was delighted to be invited by the team at CrackBerry.com to do some filming for them on Monday morning at Mobile World Congress. I filmed this video overview of the PlayBook for them — but I thought you’d appreciate a look too. I have to say, the PlayBook is looking rather fine. The web [...]
The Making of the Motorola XOOM tablet
In today’s world of choice, feeling good about your purchase is important. Being able to tell a story is important. Feeling like the people who made the product actually care about what they’ve made is important. In the bad old days of mobile, I often used to attend the most lacklustre device launches you could [...]
Video: What will Android 3.0 look like on your next tablet?
Quite a few people have been raving over Android 3.0 which has been designed ‘from the ground up for devices with larger screens’. There’s a bit of confusion in the marketplace as to whether we should be referring to Android 3.0 as the ‘Tablet Edition’ of Android. The confusion, however, is nothing to the widespread [...]

Motorola: “The iPad? It’s a giant iPhone”
Right then the Tablet marketplace is beginning to get a lot hotter. With Samsung shipping over a million of their Galaxy Tabs in recent days, the spotlight turns to Motorola. Have a look at this rather swish video from the team at Motorola. It’s rare to see a manufacturer actually reference other products and services [...]

HP’s Slate 500 looks an absolute nightmare
Have you checked out HP’s all new Slate tablet device? The videos hit the web recently and I made a note to sit down and document my utter dismay. The ‘Slate 500′ is 8.9″ and it runs Windows 7. Let me just stop there. Oh dear. Dear me, dear me. That automatically means it will [...]

BlackBerry PlayBook: What’s in a name?
Over here in San Francisco, even the iPhone-totting Valley locals are generally nodding with approval at RIM’s latest creation, the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The device name has warranted just a cursory nod before discussions of price, availability and other such issues. Abroad, however, it’s a slightly different story. I’ve had a lot of emails and [...]
