While you may not have heard of a company called E FUN, they’re attempting to gather up some steam for CES 2013 and make a little noise. The company has announced a couple of new slates running on the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, and the company plans to show them off on the show floor this year. They announced the 7-inch Nextbook 7GP and the 8-inch GP8.

The GP in the model names stands for Google Play, meaning that both tablets come with full Google Play support with its 700,000 apps and games to choose from. The 7-inch Nextbook includes a 1024×600 screen running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and comes packing with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, HDMI-out, and a front and rear camera.

The 8-inch Nextbook will include a higher-resolution 1280×800 HD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, Bluetooth, and HDMI-out. It also comes with a microSD card slot for added storage, and a full USB 2.0 port. Plus it also comes running with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.

Both tablets will be on display at CES 2013, and while they may not get as much attention has other tablets from bigger names like ASUS and Samsung, these budget tablets from E FUN are pretty cheap, costing only $129 for the 7-inch variant and $169 for the 8-incher. Both models are expected to ship next month.

[CES 2013] Considering how portable Internet devices like tablets and laptops have become over the years, we know you’re always on the look out for a Starbucks in order to enjoy some free wireless Internet so you can share your favorite photos of Grumpy Cat all day long. If you absolutely need the Internet with you while you’re on the go, your own personal hotspot would be the way to go, which lucky for you, AT&T will be introducing its AT&T Unite at CES next week.

The AT&T Unite will give your portable Internet devices the power of AT&T’s 4G LTE network in a small package as the Unite will have a 2.4-inch touchscreen display and allow you to connect up to 10 devices to it at a time. AT&T Unite owners will also be able to give access to their personal hotspot to one-time users, although seeing how valuable Internet is these days, we’re not sure why you’d want to.

No pricing or availability was mentioned for the AT&T Unite, but customers who wish to add any mobile hotspot device to their Mobile Share plan can do so for $20 a month, which we’re sure the Unite will fall into when it’s released some time this year.

Google may not have had the 2012 they wanted with their Google TV platform, but it looks like they’re going to start things off right in 2013, with a slew of new Google TV devices being unveiled at CES 2013 next week. ASUS, as well as Hisense and TCL, all three of which will be new to the platform, but companies like LG, Vizio, and Sony will also be showing new devices next week as well.

In a blog post on the official Google TV blog, the company announced that a handful of companies will be showing off new Google TV devices, including ASUS, who are new to the platform. Google says these companies “will show off the newest Google TV platform,” including “set-top boxes, integrated TVs, and IPTV boxes.”

Of course, the most notable company in the mix is ASUS, who is already rumored to release the Qube, which made its way through the FCC back in November. The Qube may also be part of Google’s Nexus lineup, which would make it the flagship Google TV device. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising, since ASUS is the company behind Google’s ever-popular Nexus 7 tablet.

As far as new partners, Google says it has nine partners in total for the TV software, with the major holdouts being Samsung (which has previously announced Google TV products, but haven’t yet released anything) and Panasonic. Of course, we’ll be there at CES 2013 all next week to bring you the latest coverage.

[CES 2013] In this day and age, whenever you go traveling, you would surely pack a plethora of chargers to accompany your luggage. The reason behind this is, there are so many gizmos that we cannot live without, so it makes perfect sense to ensure that it needs to remain juiced up wherever we are. Ventev intends to make a splash at CES this year by releasing a bunch of strikingly designed universal chargers, and they are able to power just about any mobile device regardless of the brand or type. It does not matter if the Ventev universal charger is facing up against a tablet, e-reader, Android powered device, iPhone, iPad, or Blackberry, it will still be able to get the job done. Ventev offers stylish wall and car chargers which can handle them all either singly or two at a time. Well, another advantage of having Ventev universal chargers around would be this – they do not have this issue known as “vampire power”, so even when plugged in, there is no reason to fret that they will continue to cost you money in the bank.
