New tablets? Naturally. These things are flowing like wine at an afterparty these days, and now even a company by the name of eFun is jumping in on the... fun. The company has just announced their new $300 Nextbook Premium 8 Android-based tablet, which -- perhaps not surprisingly -- looks a lot like most every other Android tablet coming out these days. It's black, sleek, and has a rather large bezel. Other specs include Android 2.3, an 8" TFT display (capacitive multi-touch), built-in Wi-Fi, an e-reader, Kobo book store, Slide application manager, OfficeSuit Viewer and built-in ASTRO File Manager. Powering the device is a Rockchip RK2918 CPU, and there's also 4GB of built-in flash memory, a...

Here's an oddball. While most Android tablets hitting the market these days are doing so with Honeycomb onboard, eFun is trying something...different. Their new Next7 tablet steps down to the pocket-friendly 7" form factor (similar to the original Galaxy Tab), and offers a 7" capacitive screen along with Android 2.3. It offers built-in Wi-Fi, ASTRO File Manager (for sideloading applications), OfficeSuite Viewer, SlideME App manager and Kobo eBook Store. It also uses a powerful 1GHz CPU, 4GB of memory, an SD card slot, 25 pre-loaded books, an MP3/photo viewer, built-in speakers and G-sensor. So, while you have to deal with Gingerbread, you are getting a break on pricing; it's set to sell for $299.99...

Never heard of E FUN? You aren't alone. The company's hardly a household name, but they're one of the many "little guys" popping out e-readers, tablets and handhelds in a bid to fend off those mega-corporations like Apple, LG and Samsung. The company is this week announcing that their Next6 capacitive touchscreen Android tablet is now shipping, providing a little competition to the 7" Galaxy Tab. This model also has a 7" LCD, along with built-in Wi-Fi, an e-reader application, SlideME application manager and an admittedly large bezel. Users will get 25 eBooks pre-loaded, and while there's no access to the Android Market, you will find a custom market to download applications from. You'll also...

My, how the times have changed. Just a few years ago, the vast majority of tablets shipped with resistive touch panels and a stylus to control input. These days, it's all about capacitive and multi-touch. If you can't do it with your fingers, it's not worth doing...or something like that. But E FUN (hardly a household name) is putting the joy back into stylus-based tablets, starting with the Next5. This is a newly launched 7" tablet with Android 2.1, an integrated APEN digital stylus, built-in Wi-Fi and plenty more. The digital pen really steals the show. It connects wirelessly to the tablet in order to generate, save and/or transmit real-time notes, write emails, and create drawings using regular...
