We hate to say we told you so…but we told you so! Just as we had been informed, Verizon Wireless' version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be going on sale November 11 in the U.S. This 7" device is easily the most highly anticipated Android-based tablet to come to America, but it has a tough road ahead when battling the iPad and tons...

AT&T has just announced a new plan to sell all three iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models directly to business customers as part of an initiative to help companies increase productivity and flexibility. The wireless company...

CTL has been a name thrown around from time to time in the tablet universe, but the rumors are giving way to an official announcement this week on the 2goPad. The new 2goPad SL10 is a 10" device with a multi-touch display, Intel Atom N450 CPU (1.66GHz), 2GB of memory, Windows 7 and a rather sleek design. It's one of the first Windows tablet...

With a full spec sheet already revealed, all that's really left to figure out about Samsung's Galaxy Tab is when it will be released and how much scratch should potential buyers save up. Thanks an internal T-Mobile document floating around the Web, we can answer one of those questions for you. According to the slide, team Magenta will carry...

We have to hand it to Apple for what could turn out to be a brilliant marketing move. While the competition scrambles to release tablets in time for the holiday shopping season, Apple will be pushing its popular iPad in Walmart stores across the United States. This in addition to Best Buy and, more recently, more than 1,700 Target stores....

Apple's iPad has been a huge success. There's just no way to deny that. Apple has raked in millions from being first to market with a "new" generation tablet that uses modernized software and a touch-friendly platform, and Microsoft has been scrambling ever since to match it. In fact, everyone has. Android tablets are coming to light as well,...

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout or do anything else that will land you on Santa's 'Naughty' list this year. If you do, forget about finding a Windows 7-based slate stuffed into your oversized Christmas stocking this December, assuming you put one on your holiday wish list in the first...

Times change. Things change. Plans change. It's a fact of life, and even in the consumer electronics industry, the best laid plans can sometime fall off track. In recent months, Google stated that Froyo (Android 2.2) wasn't the ideal operating system for tablets. It was built for smartphones, and with companies simply...

The e-reader market is continuing to explode, despite the fact that tablets have taken over as the major hype machine in the consumer electronics business. Kindle sales have been hotter than ever, and companies are still thinking up ways to rival both it and the iPad. Look at Sharp for example, which has just revealed two new e-reader tablets...

Another rumor confirmed. The Apple iPad, which has been flying off of Apple's own shelves for months now, finally has enough extra stock to find itself on other shelves. As was rumored weeks ago, the mega-retailer Target will begin to sell the tablet starting on October 3. It will be a nationwide rollout, and Target customers will be able...

Steve Jobs and the rest of his Cupertino cohorts did two things when they released the iPad under Apple's unofficial planned obsolescence model -- you know, the one where Apple leaves off obvious features like a USB port, HDMI connectivity, upgradeable storage, and everything else you'd find on even the most thinly spec'd netbook. First,...

And just like that, the iPad becomes an even more attractive looking tablet for those who are overly concerned with consuming media on it. Apple didn't exactly get off on the right foot by rejecting Adobe's Flash, which is a platform through which a vast majority of Internet-based multi-media is distributed. But since the iPad has been such...

CTL. Ever heard of 'em. Probably not, but these days, it's not surprising to hear that a company you've never known existed is making a tablet to compete with the iPad. Everyone's trying it at this point, and it looks as if Samsung's Galaxy Tab has been dubbed the main competition thanks to deals with four U.S...

Big, big news from the Samsung camp this evening. The company's Galaxy Tab, arguably the iPad's most serious competitor (or at least the competitor with the most steam/hype behind it), will soon be launching on all four of the major U.S. carriers. All four! The royal flush of operators happens very infrequently...

Another tablet PC? You bet! It'll be a tough time for these lesser-name companies to compete with Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab, but if there's any way they can, it'll be on price. The eLocity A7 probably isn't on your radar, but it may be after we tell you that it's on sale now for just $369.99, which is far...

It's arguably the biggest tablet launch since the iPad. Dell's Streak was big, but being just 5", it's not really considered a tablet PC. Just about every major (and minor) PC maker has committed to making a tablet of some sort, but for whatever reason, Samsung's Galaxy Tab has caught the eye of just about everyone...

The first major tablet wave hit at Computex, shortly after the iPad took the world (and sales numbers) by storm. It seems like Berlin's IFA trade show is where the second wave is coming. ViewSonic, a company you may not expect to be first on the scene with new tablets, is surprising us for sure with a second unit...

At last, the rumors can finally be put to rest. Samsung's Galaxy Tab is real, and it is being revealed in full today at the Berlin-based IFA trade show. For months, rumors have had Samsung preparing an iPad rival, but rather than using Windows, it was said to rely on Google's Android operating system in order to get...

Here's a real shocker: 3D is taking over another product category. With cinemas, televisions and even PC gaming already caught up in the 3D hype, Rockchip is now demonstrating a prototype tablet that does 3D as well. The interesting twist is that, much like the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS, the Supernova X1 3D doesn't require any 3D glasses. It's...

Ever since the launch of the iPad, companies from all areas of the market have been scrambling to create something competitive in order to catch the latest wave of ultra-portable computing. Tablet PCs have been around for years, but the newer breed of slim, useful tablets with multimedia capabilities are demanding attention. Up until...

It's a foregone conclusion that just about every notebook and PC maker will be at least thinking of making a tablet over the next year. Apple's iPad has sold well over 3 million units in only a few months, so it has become clear to everyone else that the market exists. Now, it's time for them to capitalize. MSI is mostly know for their all-in-one...

For those who keep denying that 2010 is the year of the tablet, here's yet another trusted report saying otherwise. It's hard to tell if this fad will last at all, but right now, nearly everyone is focused on removing Apple from atop their pedestal. The iPad has been a huge hit worldwide, and now even Motorola is...
