Asus makes some of the best Android tablets around. In addition to their quality, the Transformer tablets also carry pretty decent price tags. If you’re thinking about purchasing the Transformer Prime or even the Transformer Pad 300, you may want to wait until Computex 2012 is over. It’s there that Asus will debut a new addition or additions to the Transformer family.
Back during CES 2012 Toshiba busted out a rather large 13″ Android tablet that, for the most part, was mostly just a concept product at the time. The 13″ Toshiba Excite tablet at the time was the biggest Android tablet until now. ViewSonic has begun teasing a new 22″ Android tablet that will be coming with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).
More Tegra 3 news this afternoon after General Manager Mike Rayfield told analysts that there will be 30 quad-core Android phones this year. Currently there have been two phones released? So with 28 more to go, there should be a nice selection for everyone.
The Wall Street Journal (via Engadget) is reporting on something that is good news for customers and not so good for mobile carriers. Apparently Google is partnering with five different device makers to create new Nexus devices for the 2012 holiday season. These devices will allegedly run Android 5.0 (rumored to be called Jelly Bean), and will be sold in unlocked form straight from Google.
The idea of gaming themed Android devices is nothing new, especially since we have the Xperia Play along with a few other Playstation Certified devices along with GameStop tablets with their controllers. the fact is mobile gaming is a huge industry already and it is still growing. Archos sees this and is planning on developing a gaming-centric Android tablet to cater to mobile gamers.
We’ve reported on a couple cheap Android 4.0 tablets in the past week including the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Ematic eGlide Prism. Today, a New York company called XTEX is getting in one the action with its new tablet called the XTEX My Tablet 7. XTEX is selling this device on its website for $149.99.
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.
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).
So fresh off of the press is a new rumor which Android and Me are reporting on regarding the rumored Google’s 7-inch Nexus Tablet that would be selling for $199 when it is released, if it actually exists. According to two reliable sources that Android and Me spoke with at MWC 2012, Asus will be the company building the device.
