Android-powered Neofonie WePad Tablet
March 21, 2010
It looks like there is going to be another entrant into the increasingly-crowded tablet market, and that moment it's the WePad from Neofonie. Despite it sounding like a plural version of Apple’s iPad, that tablet obviously isn’t related to Apple’s latest darling. Word is that the WePad will be powered by Google’s android, and will even be able to access a WePad AppStore. While there isn’t any pricing knowledge just yet, specifications of the device are available, which include:

10-pack Of iPads Available For Educational Institutions
March 21, 2010
Nintendo isn’t the only one who wants its devices in schools, as Apple has begun promoting its 10-pack iPad bundles for educational institutions. When purchased in a pack, the price of the iPad is lowered by $20 per iPad, or $40 per iPad whether purchased together with AppleCare. There are plus some environmental benefits of purchasing a pack of ten iPads, as the packaging is reduced by eliminating separate retail boxing for the devices. Each package will consist of ten iPads, along with the USB-to-Dock connector cables, capability adapters, and a one set of documentation. Will the iPad be a useful education tool, or do you think that the MacBook is still more suitable?

Memorial RosettaStone Tablet Gives You A letter From The Grave
March 21, 2010
Having a tombstone that sports some fancy electronics certainly isn’t a new idea, but that hasn’t stopped the Phoenix-based company, Objecs, to take another crack at it. The company has come up with the Memorial RosettaStone Tablet, allowing visitors to the cemetery to access text and images by merely touching their cell phone to the headstone. The Memorial RosettaStone Tablet sports a microchip inside, and uses NFC (near-field communication) to stream personal data such as photos and even a pre-recorded report from the deceased. It only costs $225, and considering that by the day you need to use it, you won’t need the money anymore, it can’t be considered expensive, right? Do you think that you’re going to “prepare for the future” with one of these?

Samsung Tablet To Sport Android And 4G Connectivity?
March 20, 2010
samsung-tablet-android-4g.jpg" />This is still unconfirmed at the moment, but word is going around that the recently mentioned Samsung tablet might be powered by Google’s Android OS instead of some edition of Microsoft’s Windows 7. To form the deal even juicier, apparently the device could feature calling via a headset, possibly with some implementation of VoIP, 3G and perhaps even 4G connectivity. Nothing is set in stone at the moment, so we’ll have to keep an eye on that. whether it were up to you, what specifications would you give the Samsung tablet?

Superbus Designed By Students compose Public Transportation Look Cool
March 20, 2010
It’s not often you construct out something dubbed “super” and find out that it’s additionally an eco-oriented product, but that’s just what the Superbus is. The students at UT Delft in the Netherlands have come up with a prototype Superbus, which is an electric-powered machine, sporting a carbon fiber shell, low chassis, and 16 individual gull-wing doors. Thanks to its lithium-polymer battery pack that powers its motors (up to 800hp whether we may add), it’s a zero-emission vehicle, and can travel up to 130 miles before needing to be juiced up. Passengers will have to book their seats in advance, either by calling or texting a pickup duration and location to the driver, after which the driver will figure out the quickest and most efficient way to get everybody to their desired destination.

Adobe Flash 10.1 Teased On Google’s Nexus One
March 20, 2010
We still need to wait for some moment before we’ll be able to get Adobe’s Flash 10.1 on Android 2.x devices, but that doesn’t stop videos of folks who have managed to get Adobe’s Flash 10.1 running on Google’s Nexus One from surfacing. As can be seen from the video (after the jump), Flash seems to be running rather comfortably on the Nexus One, and is nearly as good as on the desktop, albeit with a little bit of lag, but that’s probably due to the 3G connection used to stream the video. Is getting Flash on your mobile device a top priority for you?

Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 Unboxed
March 20, 2010
Sony Xperia’s X10 might be just around the corner, but that doesn’t form any unboxing event of the phone less exciting. Now a video of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming flagship phone being unboxed has surfaced online. The phone is still powered by Google’s Android 1.6, which is obviously older than the current Android 2.1, and Sony Ericsson has done a good job to pretty up the OS. Rumors are hinting that Sony Ericsson might be updating the OS version on that phone, so there might be hope of getting Android 2.1 on that device just yet. Have you decided to pick that phone by Apple’s iPhone, or do you still think that the iPhone or Google’s Nexus One is more appealing? Video of the phone being unboxed after the jump.
