February 7, 2010

HTC Tablet Suspended
January 19, 2010
It seems that HTC has suspended the work on its tablet computer, which doesn’t seem like very good news to us. The folks by at Channel News have quoted Anthony Petts, HTC’s sales and marketing director, as saying that the company will be focusing their efforts on a new generation of mobile phones. When talking about a bunch of new mobile phones, you can safely bet that a whole lot of them (if not all) will be powered by Google’s Android OS. The (temporarily) shelved tablet project was rumored to be powered by either Chrome OS or Android. There aren’t any technical details on the tablet, but it’s probably academic, as it seems like that device won’t be released anytime soon (if ever).

Asus OLED ebook reader
January 18, 2010
Word from The Times of the UK reports that Asus will be rolling out a new ebook reader to join the many other ebook readers in the market with an OLED-capable version that plus boasts Flash playback support. Apparently, Asus will additionally throw in Wi-Fi and UMTS connectivity that further blurs the already razor thin lines within a slate and a tablet computer. Touted to be called the Asus DR750, you can achieve up to 122 hours of battery life. We do hope that even with an OLED display thrown into the mix, the price won't go beyond 150 Euros, otherwise it would be pretty hard to move units even with one of the better displays hanging around.

Chips For Apple Tablet And iPhone 4G Have Been Chosen
January 7, 2010
It seems like all the tablets in the world are converging at CES 2010, except for the most anticipated one of them all – Apple’s iSlate tablet. Even until now there hasn’t been any official confirmation on the device, but we’re fairly certain that knowledge on it will be unveiled at the upcoming event by Apple on the 26th. Now word is going around that the tablet computer from Apple will not be using Intel’s Atom CPU, rather it will be using a processor designed by PA Semiconductor, a company bought by Apple about 2 years ago. Aside from that, Apple has apparently decided on a Qualcomm chip for the iPhone 4G that is headed to Verizon. Do bear in mind that none of these are official confirmations, so you’ll want to take the news with a pinch of salt.
