Toshiba also unveiled their 10″ Android tablet, the Toshiba Folio 100. Expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2010 for €399 or $510 US.
It has a 10.1″ 1024 x 600 pixel cpacitive touchscreen display and a NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. The Folio 100 will ship 16GB of internal storage, 1.3MP camera with WiFi and Bluetooth. A 3G model is also in the works and will be released early 2011. The Folio 100 will come with Google Android 2.2 but as per Engadget, it doesn’t have an official Android Market. They also seem to be disappointed with how it turned out. They said that it looked like it was cheaply made with sub-standard parts.
Apparently, Toshiba’s US team is saying that the Folio 100 might never see the light of day in the US anyway.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab can’t get more officially official than this. Samsung finally unvelied the 7″ Android tablet at a Berlin press conference, and while there is no word on pricing, they have slated it for a September shipping date in Europe, with Korea, the US, and the rest of Asia to follow suit.
The Galaxy Tab will actually be an oversized smartphone. You’d be able to use it for calls and send text messages, which means that it definitely can sit there next to the iPhone 4. It, of course, has access to the Android Market, as well as Samsung’s very own Samsung Readers Hub for eBooks, magazines and newspapers.
Here are some more specs:
7″ 1024 x 600 pixel capacitive touchscreen
Google Android 2.2
1GHz Samsung Cortex A8 Hummingbird
512MB
16GB | 32GB of flash storage, plus a microSD card slot
The HP Mini 5103 is the latest business netbook to be released by HP. It also has a hard drive sensor that locks the hard drive whenever it senses that the netbook is in freefall and an aluminum and magnesium alloy case that makes it tough. But what really sets is apart from its predecessors (the Mini 5101 and the Mini 5102) is that this comes with the newest 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor. (You can also opt for the older N475 and N455 single core options, if you want to.)
It also comes with a HD touchscreen display, GPS, 3G modem, and a wide range of options for operating system, from FreeDos to Linuzx to Windows 7 Professional.
I like business netbooks because they’re sturdier, and looks classier than their cheaper and lower end counterparts. Plus they do have some nifty talents like spill-proof keyboards and the like.
The HP Mini 210 isn’t the only netbook that will come out with new shiny, happy colors. Macles has leaked the new Acer Aspire One Happy. According to the site, that’s really what it’s going to be called
That’s about it. It actually is just an Acer Aspire One D255 with a dual-core processor in happy colors. The glamor shots are of one in green. Other colors are yet to be seen.
The Samsung NF series is the latest netbook line from Samsung. The three new models are NF310, NF210 and NF110.
The Samsung NF310 is the only one sure to have the new Intel Atom N550 processor. It also comes with DDR3 memory, and a high res 1366 x 768 pixel display.
There’s virtually no specs listed for the NF210 and 110 but the latter is said to be “affordable” and would most likely be Samsung’s budget netbook for this line. The NF210 is said to come with an 8850mAh 6-cell battery which packs power that can let the netbook run for as long as 14 hours.
Samsung will also bundle the Easy File Share software with these netbooks which allows file transfer between PCs using WiFi, and the Samsung AllShare system which lets you play multimedia files and display photos on Samsung devices including phones and digital cameras.
Due date for the new series is October in Europe, and the rest of the world soon after.
