The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is pretty tempting at $249, but there’s another Android 4.0 tablet available that’s even cheaper than that. The tablet you see here is called the Ematic eGlide Prism. It’s being sold for $157.16 from Shop NBC. I’d understand if you cringed just now, but let’s give this tablet a fair shake before condemning it.
As hardened Android users, I’m sure you noticed a little bug that has been around for a good while. Whenever you would download an app from a third-party such as the Amazon Appstore, it would show up in Google Play as if you purchased it from there. With the latest Google Play update, that issue no longer exists.
There was a time when just about any brand name Android tablet would be priced ridiculously high. Manufacturers believed for one reason or another customers would pay $500+ for an Android tablet just because it worked for the iPad. They of course, were wrong. Android tablet pricing is at a race to the bottom and Amazon is in the lead. Perhaps Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will become a close second?
Bigger really does mean better for the folks at Toshiba. The company recently announced a few new tablets that will be released starting in May. Toshiba will have the normal 7.7 and 10-inch Excite tablets, but it will also sell another tablet with a massive 13.3-inch screen on June 10 for $649.99 (32GB).
Sprint began to push out the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to owners of the Nexus S 4G last week. As exciting as that is, some of you may still be waiting for the update to reach your device. There’s no need to wait on Sprint of you don’t want to. All you need is the full over-the-air update file which is now conveniently available to everyone.
The Android app ecosystem is apparently a “chaotic cesspool” as far as Research in Motion’s Vice President of Developer Relations Alec Saunders is concerned. Last week, Saunders wrote on Twitter that a whopping 25% of Android apps are pirated. As a result, RIM will encrypt apps in the next BlackBerry OS update.
Earlier this week, Google publicly revealed a potentially revolutionary product it’s currently calling Project Glass. Project Glass is a pair of augmented reality glasses that displays tons of information above your eye. It basically performs many of the functions of a smartphone such as displaying text messages, taking photos and engaging in video calls.
At the end of March, some Android users noticed the Google Play app was having some issues. In some cases, Google Play would not display the apps they paid for. Google Play also started to force close more than usual. Although these bugs weren’t experienced by everyone, Google still rolled out an update to Google Play to resolve these issues.
Good news everyone! You no longer need to hack your Nexus S 4G to get Ice Cream Sandwich. Sprint has begun pushing the update to handsets as I write this. Check your phone to see if there’s an update notification trying to get your attention. You can also manually check for the update from the settings menu.
