Velocity Micro Release Cruz T301 Tablet

By Chris Burns

Shh! It's a quiet release! Velocity Micro have basically just told the world in a whisper voice that they've got a new budget tablet to add to their ever-growing line running Android 2.0 out on the market now. It's already got mixed reviews on Amazon and looks to be something very very very basic. I mean totally basic. It's got a 7-inch screen, 4:3 aspect ratio, 800×600 resolution, capacitive touch, Android 2.0, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and a user replaceable Li-Ion battery that provides “up to 10+ hours of life” or “24+ standby." It comes with 256MB of RAM, includes Amazon's Kindle e-book reader (where previous Velocity Micro tablet Cruze T103 had the Borders e-book app,) and it's got 4GB of internal storage.

NOOKcolor Rooted!

By Chris Burns
on 29 Nov, 2010

Looks like those crazy cats over at XDA Forums are at it again, this time with everyone's favorite new color e-reader, NOOKcolor! And what did they do? They rooted it, of course, allowing the loading of, what else? Angry Birds! It seems to be the new anthem for "I GOT THIS WORKING!" There's great potential in this device, as we wrote earlier today in our final judgements on NOOKcolor over at A Week With NOOKcolor: 3rd Party Apps and Final Wrap-up. As XDA forum member IOMonster says, and I agree, "this thing has the potential to be an amazing device, we just gotta 'fix' it first."

You've got your choice of the probably-soon-to-be-wildly-popular Samsung Galaxy Tab or the tablet I'm going to guess most people don't know about, the Commtiva N700, both of them advertised side-by-side. Feel free to drive on over to the website and compare and contrast or feel free to get them BOTH if you love to get everything all at once, get them cheaper if you take up an additional mobile phone contract.

Analysts says Android tablets will sell better than iPad

By Shane McGlaun
on 12 Oct, 2010

It's interesting to me that Google is telling many iPad makers to not launch tablets with the current version of Android. Many are still bringing tablets to market with the current version of Android that Google says isn't appropriate.
