Review: Is the eKit ITAB7STK a good match for the Nexus 7

August 20, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m really enjoying my Nexus 7. This is the new and pretty cheap tablet from Google (and Asus). It runs Android and is just 7” in size. This means it’s a put it in your pocket tablet, a read it in bed tablet or have it in front of you on your computer desk. Not […]

Behind the scenes on the Proporta Nexus 7 case project

August 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In July, as Nexus 7s were still struggling their way out of boxes, Geek Native popped over to Etsy to dig up 7 handcrafted covers for the tablet. We saw some great designs. But what if Etsy isn’t your thing? What if you wanted a fashionable retailer, a gadget expert, to lovingly design and make […]

July 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Google’s had to stop taking orders on the Nexus 7 16GB for now. The cost effective but powerful Android tablet is selling very well and already Geek Native has learned that Comixology will be making updates to their app to better support the device. The question is – will the Nexus 7 benefit from the […]

January 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Project Fiona is one of the standouts from CES. The tablet is designed for gamers – so it doesn’t fit in your bag as easily as other tablets but it games a heck of a lot better!

Transformer Prime fight: Hasbro sues Asus over transforming tablet

December 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Every day for nearly a month I’ve checked Amazon to see whether they have the latest Asus Transformer Prime ready for pre-order yet. The TF201 model looks like it’s going to be amazing. It’s a tablet that becomes a laptop. It ships with Android 3.2 but will get the Android 4.0 update soon. Two key […]

Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Transformer Prime

November 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Transformer Prime is a very tasty looking Android tablet from ASUS. It’s expected to ship in December. I suspect the Christmas rush might even sell it out. It’s a remarkable bit of kit in that it may look like a small laptop until you lift it up from its docking station keyword in which […]

Is this the leaked Dell Peju tablet?

July 11, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We might never know if this video is a real leak of Dell’s Peju tablet as there may be design changes still to be made. It looks real though. Why? A lot of effort on the video but not really all that much to show. A fake, I think, would have faked more. This blogger […]

The Imerj smartpad

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum. For example, Imerj has a device […]

Sony’s new Android S1 and S2 tabs: one sparkles, one spooks

June 17, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t think the second of these videos are supposed to be spooky… but it is. How come? It’s the gradual creep, the slowness, and the silence. However, let’s distract ourselves with the first ad. This is shiny. This promises the latest in Android tablet tech. Tech that can talk to your PlayStation. The S2 […]
