US Cellular now offering 4G LTE Galaxy Note 10.1

Posted in: Today's Chili

Back in February 2012, US Cellular kicked off its LTE network with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet when its 4G network went live. Now, the carrier has released another Galaxy tablet, this time offering the Note 10.1 for sale on its website. The device is sold along with a data plan that ranges from 2GB to 10GB per month, with the lowest price point coming in at $25.

The tablet runs Android Jelly Bean 4.1, and boasts a 1.4GHz quad-core proccesor and 16GB of internal storage. Around back, users will find a 5-megapixel camera, while there’s a smaller 1.9-megapixel sensor on the front for video chats. The tablet is sold with an S-pen, and is loaded with Google Mobile Services and the newly released Photoshop Touch.

Three different data plans are available, one of which the customer must subscribe to to get the tablet. The cheapest plan is priced at $25 per month for 2GB of data. The next plan up is a slightly better deal at 5GB for $50 per month, while the last plan is the best deal at 10GB for $90 per month, saving a total of $10. The first plan also offers 100 reward points monthly, while the second offers 250 and the third offers 500.

The tablet is priced at $499.99 USD, a hefty price tag for something that you can nab cheaper elsewhere. Without the $300 discount that is applied, the price jumps to $799.99. New customers will have to sign up for a 2-year contract when purchasing the tablet. If you’re keen on grabbing an LTE Galaxy Note 10.1, this is your chance, but it doesn’t come without a substantial price tag.

Kite HD tablet runs Ubuntu and Android, boasts quad-core processor

Posted in: Today's Chili

An Ubuntu-powered tablet has appeared from DaVinci Mobile, an Italian company. The Kite features high-end specs that trump a lot of tablets on the market, with an HD display and quad-core processor. For those not thrilled about running Ubuntu, the tablet also runs Android, making it a dual-boot slate that meets your needs.

Inside you’ll find a quad-core 1.5GHz Exynos 4 processor from Samsung, as well as 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage space. There’s a microSD slot for expanding the internal storage, although no mention of what capacity it supports. Ports include both a regular and a micro USB port, as well as HDMI-out for enjoying HD content on a larger scren.

The IPS screen is a nice 10.1-inches with an HD resolution of 1920 x 1200. As far as operating systems go, users can switch between Ubuntu 12.04 and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Android is the main operating system that boots up by default when the slate is turned on. There’s a VGA-resolution front camera and a 2-megapixel rear camera, with the relatively low resolutions being a tad disappointing considering the rest of the specs.

While the face of the tablet is attractive with a white bevel and single webcam on the long side, the back is a tad less visually appealing, with a large V logo stamped on a light gray back plate and two slots (for the speaker?) seemingly arbitrarily placed near the bottom right corner. Still, for €309, it has all the right specs with a decent price point to make this a tablet worth keeping an eye on.
