Asus Eee Transformer Official With Sweet "Honeycomb" and Tegra 2

As expected, Asus made the hybrid Eee Transformer tablet official today. Tablet-wise you get a 10.1-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 chipset, a 5MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, optional 3G, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 support, 16GB / 32GB of internal storage, Android "Honeycomb", and 9.5-hours of battery life. That's all well and good but you also have an option to turn it into a netbook if you want.

Being a "transformer" you'll also be able to dock it onto the keyboard you see above and this will give you a QWERTY keyboard, a touchpad, a 3.5mm headphone jack, two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, and even 6.5 hours of more battery life if you need it.

Sony Working On "S2" Dual-Screen Android Tablet and Sliding Windows 7 One Too

At this point we've already heard about Sony's "S1" tablet which should be running the Android "Honeycomb" OS but at this point it's still vapourware. Well, here's another one coming from an Engadget source. Apparently, the company is also working on the "S2" Android-based tablet along with a sliding Windows 7 tablet.

The first one, dubbed internally as the "S2", is what you should be seeing above. The source mentions that this Android tablet will actually feature a weird design with dual 5.5-inch displays and it'll look a bit like what you see above. This design is said to look like an oval cylinder, which will be quite awkward - looks a bit first-gen PS3-like. The innards are said to be identical to the "S1" though, so that means it'll have a Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, WiFi / 3G support, dual cameras, and Qriocity. Sony is going to attempt to skin the "Honeycomb" UI to take advantage of the dual displays but hopefully they don't mess it up too much. Apparently, this one might be launching this holiday season in US, Europe, and Japan for right around $699 which doesn't seem like too bad of a price. I wonder how it'll actually work out in the real world though.

Sony is also working on a Windows 7 tablet and apparently it's similar to Samsung's Sliding PC 7 Series and the Asus Eee Pad Slider. Specs for this one are unknown right now but it should be running an Intel Atom CPU and could actually launch this October (Q4). The company is aiming for a $799 price tag but it could actually be more expensive than they're hoping.

At this point, the most exciting tablet could still be their "S1" tablet but at that point there'll already be a bunch of tablets to choose from. It could be too little, too late for the company.

It's definitely a great smartphone for the price.

Samsung GT-i9103 Prancing Around With a Tegra 2 Chipset

Samsung has already made their I9100 Galaxy S II smartphone official but it looks like someone may be getting a variant of it. Samsung Hub spotted the GT-I9103 smartphone getting tested and it's sporting a Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset. Does that mean that Samsung has another model up their sleeve?

Acer Iconia A100 Will Be a "Honeycomb" Powered Tablet With Tegra 2

Acer didn't just announce their 4.8-inch smartphone at MWC this year. They also announced what you see above which is being touted as the Iconia A100. This one's a 7-inch tablet from the company and it's going to be running Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" when it launches - even though it's running version 2.2 on display at the event right now. If Acer can get the software working perfectly then this is another tablet that should be pretty good this year.

The Acer Iconia A100 will be sporting a 7-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 CPU, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, an HDMI output, a gyroscope, and the awesome OS, of course. It's pretty promising but I hope that it'll come in black with a sub $500 price tag. We'll see what happens in the future. Check out the video below.

LG UNVEILS PREMIUM LINE-UP AT MWC 2011 

Making a Return to the Largest Mobile Event With a Rich Collection of Mobile Devices

           
Barcelona, Feb. 13, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) returns to Barcelona this year to introduce two new flagship devices at Mobile World Congress: the LG Optimus 3D, a stunning super-smartphone with unparalleled 3D performance, and the LG Optimus Pad, a true Android tablet optimized with Honeycomb OS designed to offer the full viewing experience of a tablet while still being easy to hold with one hand. 

“I`m confident that this year, LG will emerge as a leader in the next generation of smartphone and tablet devices,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “What you see here today is just the beginning -- we will continue to innovate with products that address consumer needs and deliver benefits that live up to our `Life`s Good` commitment.” 

Aiming to aggressively take a leadership position in the smartphone market in 2011, LG has been earnestly bolstering its premium smartphone line-up, evident by its strong showing at CES last month. There, the company introduced the world`s first dual-core smartphone (LG Optimus 2X), one of the world`s slimmest and brightest smartphones (LG Optimus Black) and the company`s first phone compatible with 4G LTE networks (LG Revolution(TM)). LG products debuting at MWC 2011 build upon this spirit of innovation. Key devices include: 

LG Optimus 3D 
The LG Optimus 3D packs exceptional features with performance in mind, including an advanced dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture. Equipped with a 1GHz OMAP4 dual-core processor and four times more video decoders than competing designs, the LG Optimus 3D doubles the graphics performance of its nearest competitor allowing users to enjoy superb performance while web surfing, running applications and enjoying multimedia content. In addition, the LG Optimus 3D provides the world`s first full 3D experience covering the full spectrum from recording to viewing and sharing 3D content. It features a dual-lens camera that enables users to capture any moment in true 3D which can then be viewed immediately on the 4.3-inch WVGA glasses-free display. Multiple connectivity options including HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices. 

LG Optimus Pad 
The LG Optimus Pad sets a new standard for tablets by utilizing an 8.9-inch display in a form factor that`s comfortable to use one-handed. With a 15:9 aspect ratio and Full HD 1080p decoding, the LG Optimus Pad offers users an immersive multimedia environment on a 1280 x 768 WXGA resolution widescreen display. The new device sports Honeycomb, Google`s latest platform optimized for tablet devices with an optimized and intuitive PC-like interface for running tablet software. LG`s tablet runs on a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor for unmatched performance and power management. In addition, the LG Optimus Pad is the world`s first tablet with a built-in 3D camera, enabling users to capture vivid image and video content to be viewed on a high definition 3D TV or shared on the web via YouTube 3D. 

LG Optimus 2X 
The world`s first smartphone with a dual-core processor, the LG Optimus 2X was developed in partnership with graphics processor powerhouse, NVIDIA. The dual-core Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip found in the LG Optimus 2X runs at a clock speed of 1GHz and boasts low power consumption and high performance for playing video and audio. Not only does the LG Optimus 2X mean more powerful multimedia features, the Tegra 2 processor makes for faster, smoother web browsing and multitasks with virtually no screen lag. The LG Optimus 2X offers 1080p HD video playback and recording with HDMI mirroring that expands content on external displays to Full HD quality. The LG Optimus 2X can connect wirelessly to any DLNA-compatible digital device such as HD TVs for a console-like gaming experience, taking full advantage of the phone‟s HDMI mirroring, accelerometer and gyro sensor. 

LG Optimus Black 
One of the world`s slimmest and lightest Android smartphones, LG Optimus Black is already a hit, having recorded more than two million pre-orders in 20 countries since its introduction at CES. At MWC, a range of special-edition LG Optimus Black handsets will be unveiled featuring designs courtesy of the Keith Haring Foundation. Besides its incredibly slim body, the LG Optimus Black features a 4-inch NOVA display for optimal brightness and readability under any lighting conditions. The crystal-clear display also provides a more natural web browsing experience by displaying truer whites while simultaneously cutting energy consumption by 50 percent compared to conventional LCDs. In addition, the LG Optimus Black includes a collection of smart features designed to improve the user experience, such as Gesture UI, Wi-Fi Direct and a 2MP front-facing camera.
