Hannspree Has Another Tablet For This Quarter, A Sweeter One In Q3 With "Honeycomb"

Notebook Italia has just pointed out something great if you're willing to take a risk on your latest Android tablet. Hannspree reportedly has their SN10T1 tablet somewhere on the market in Europe going for €399 - even though the roadmap says that it's €349. This tablet packs a 10.1-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, 16GB of internal storage, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and sadly just Android 2.2. Another model, the SN10T2 is expected sometime this quarter with a TI chip, 8GB of internal storage, and a camera. That one should launch for €299, which is right around $430. A bit high considering the Asus Transformer. However, their best tablet could be coming in Q3.

Taking a look at the roadmap above, the company is working on an Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablet that will be launching in various markets sometime in Q3, later this year. This one will cleverly be called the SN10T3 and pack a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 600 resolution, a Tegra 2 CPU, 16GB of storage, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and a camera. We don't know how responsive it'll be, but we'll find out in a few months when someone gets a hands-on. This one will reportedly launch for €449, which is just about $650.

Telus Announces the Galaxy S Fascinate 4G and the Nexus S, They'll Be Here Soon

Telus has just announced two smartphones that'll be hitting their network in the near future. They're the Galaxy S Fascinate 4G, which is expected to arrive in the next 30 to 60 days and the other one is the Nexus S. First off, the Galaxy S Fascinate 4G is probably very similar to the Galaxy S 4G that hit T-Mobile USA not too long ago. It features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, HSPA+ (4G) connectivity, a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording, a front-facing camera, and Android 2.2 with the Touchwiz UI. And this was just the first handset.

The other one is actually a bit better of a smartphone and it's the Nexus S. This one features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, NFC capabilities, a 5MP camera, a front-facing camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, and stock Android "Gingerbread". However, with this one you're stuck with regular 3G speeds. Of course, this handset should hit a few different carriers in Canada. Price is unknown right now but it should be available in late March / early April.
