Hasta La Gadget!

Take this with a mouthful of NaCl, but Droid-Life has it on authority that Motorola’s Droid X is gearing up to make the Droid Incredible seem a bit less Incredible next month. The big-screened unicorn-of-a-smartphone is purportedly set for a July 19th launch on America’s most subscribed-to carrier, with ads to start popping up on the 18th. We’re expecting to hear something official out of VZW next week, but till then, we’d suggest talking your current Android phone down from that ledge. Broken egos can lead to desperate measure, homie.

Nintendo abandoned its motion-fitness angle at this year’s E3, leaving that for Microsoft. Instead, the company focused on classic games–and, of course, the 3DS. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-21539_7-20007772-10391702.html” class=”origPostedBlog”E3 2010/a/p

Saturo Iwata was on hand at Nitnendo’s E3 2010 press conference to officially announce the Nintendo 3DS, the first-ever portable 3D gaming system. The system resembles a DSi, but features a wide, 3.5-inch 3D screen on top and a touch screen on the bottom. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-21539_7-20007766-10391702.html” class=”origPostedBlog”E3 2010/a/p

Samsung is jumping into the tablet fray with a device powered by Google’s Android operating system. Samsung’s tablet, with the unlikely name of ‘Galaxy Tape,’ is expected to launch in September.

The device has a 7-inch OLED screen, runs a 1.2 GHz processor, and includes 16 GB of internal memory that can be boosted to 48 GB, according to a Vietnamese site Tinhte.

The Galaxy Tape–also known as Galaxy Tab–will weigh about 13 ounces and ship with the latest version of the Android operating system, Android 2.2 ‘FroYo.’

News about the Samsung tablet comes on the heels of a report Monday that BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is also testing a tablet. RIM is trying to create a tablet that could act as “companion” to its BlackBerry phone.

The tablet has become one of the hottest consumer electronics products of the year. PC makers and cellphone manufacturers are rushing to introduce a device that can be an alternative to Apple’s iPad. In less than 60 days since the iPad was launched, Apple said it sold more than two million of them.

Earlier this month, Dell launched a tablet called ‘Streak’ in the U.K. The Streak has a 5-inch display, a SIM card to make phone calls and runs Google’s Android operating system. The Streak is expected to be available in the U.S. in July for $500. HP is also working on a tablet computer called the HP Slate.

Details around pricing of the Samsung tablet or how it will be sold are not available yet but as the above photo (which was posted on on Samsung’s South African twitter feed and then deleted) shows the Galaxy Tape tablet is likely to have a user interface similar to the company’s Galaxy S phone.
