7-inch Acer Iconia Tab A110 lands at the FCC

7-inch Acer Iconia Tab A110 lands at the FCC

We knew Acer had some new tablets in the pipeline — heck, we got our hands on them at Computex last month — but the company still hasn’t officially announced the Iconia Tabs A210 and A110. Still, following in the footsteps of the 10-inch A210, which hit the FCC earlier this month, the Tab A110 just cleared that all-important obstacle for hitting the US market. The filing doesn’t shed too much light on the Tegra 3-powered 7-incher (you’ll find the standard test reports and RT exposure info in the source link below), but then again we already got a good look at the slate in Taipei, and we imagine Acer’s unveiling date can’t be too far off.

ViewSonic ViewPad E72 hits FCC: ICS in a 7-inch package

ViewSonic ViewPad E72 hits FCC: ICS in a 7-inch package

This year has already seen a fair share of ViewPads — with ViewSonic outing the E70 and 10e tablets at CES and introducing three more slates ahead of MWC — but the more the merrier, right? According to the company’s latest FCC filing, the ViewPad E72 will be fleshing out the already well-padded lineup. The E72 runs Android 4.0 on a 7-inch, 1,024 x 600 display, and packs a 1GHz Cortex A9 CPU under the hood. Storage is limited to 8GB, but that’s expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. The 0.86-pound slate has a 0.3-megapixel camera (no rear-facing shooter here) and is rated for up to four hours of battery life. Think this might be the budget-priced serving of ICS you’ve been waiting for? Click through to the user manual, or hit up the source link for a rundown of the E72’s specs.

Sony’s Walkman F PMP hits the FCC mere seconds after being announced

Image

It was mere seconds after Sony’s Walkman F was publicly announced to the baying hordes of PMP fans that the dismantled remains of one was found outside the FCC’s headquarters. The autopsy report unsurprisingly passed the Android-powered media player safe for human consumption, only clarifying that the unit’s WiFi radio is of the 802.11 b/g/n variety. Sony’s flagship media player will hopefully arrive on American soil soon, we’ve got a whole season of Breaking Bad to catch up on.

Samsung SPH-L300 arrives at the FCC

The folks over at the FCC have yet another device to play around with – the Samsung SPH-L300 would be the one frolicking with them this time around, having first appeared in mainstream consciousness sometime back in early May. Then, a User Agent Profile for the Samsung SPH-L300 was spotted on the Internet, where it revealed a fair number of its specifications. The FCC has since continued where the Samsung SPH-L300 left off in public since then, where the handset’s certification paperwork has been published, meaning the go ahead is given for a commercial release.

This does seem to be a mid-range device of sorts, offering decent hardware underneath the hood without having to, hopefully, break the bank. Among the core components include a WVGA display that will ensure this Android-powered device is decent enough to use, sporting a dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 SoC, 1GB RAM, and 4GB of internal memory. It will most likely head towards Sprint as the carrier of choice.

Archos 97 Carbon tablet arrives at the FCC

The good people over at the FCC have managed to get hold of the Archos 97 Carbon tablet which was recently spotted earlier this month. From the FCC filing, we do know that some of the more elite among you consumer electronics purveyors out there might consider the Archos 97 Carbon tablet to be a poor man’s Android-powered device. It is all part of the strategy of Archos’ low-cost Elements range, where this 9.7″ tablet which is powered by the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system will be powered by a 1GHz single-core processor, featuring various connectivity options in the form of an HDMI out port, a microUSB port, USB support, dual cameras that help you capture photos regardless of which direction the tablet is facing, and a microSD memory card slot that will help complement the 16GB of internal memory that the Archos 97 Carbon already comes with. Would you consider picking up the Archos 97 Carbon tablet when it arrives in the mass market, or do you already have your heart set on an iPad?

WD TV Play media hub spotted over at the FCC

The FCC can be said to be a menagerie of devices and consumer electronics gizmos, and here we are with the latest model that comes in the form of the WD TV Play media hub that has also arrived at the hallowed hallways of the FCC. It does seem to indicate Western Digital’s intention of entering into the casual gaming market that is currently being catered to by Roku and its ilk. What you see in the form of the WD TV Play here has yet to be announced on an official capacity, where it will come with a dedicated gaming channel to book.

The pre-release user manual did reveal at least one game which will thrill many – it is a Texas Hold’em variant, although you can be sure that there will be other titles being lined up before they are approved to be fit for release via the gaming services known as Funspot and PlayJam. No idea on whether it will feature a motion controller as found on the Roku, but we do know that the remote itself has been overhauled physically in comparison to its cousin, the WD TV Live. Hopefully more will be revealed in good time.

Archos 97 Carbon breaks cover at the FCC

Archos’ recently outed 97 Carbon is the poor man’s Android slate… intentionally. Part of the French outfit’s low-cost Elements line, the 9.7-inch ICS tablet saw an official unveiling earlier this month and is now making an obligatory step-and-repeat at the FCC. We’ve already been given the full rundown on the tab’s innards — single-core 1GHz CPU, ports for HDMI-out, micro-USB, USB, dual camera setup and vacant microSD slot to complement the 16GB of storage onboard — so there’s not much new info to glean from the filings, aside from some candid lab shots. Regardless, feel free to hit up the source below to tour it all, or just navigate your way to an online retailer if you’d rather own this one IRL.

Logitech Wi-Fi connected camera hits the FCC

We have an unidentified Wi-Fi connected camera from Logitech that has just made its way over to the FCC, where it was labelled as the Logitech Broadcaster. A wee bit of snooping around revealed that the Logitech Broadcaster could very well be able to have its camera work without the need for any cables – similar to how Livestream’s Broadcaster (how ironic, they share the same moniker as well) add-on. Of course, let us keep our fingers crossed for Logitech’s sake that the Logitech Broadcaster will not suffer the same fate as that of the FlipLive cams. Basically, this FCC approved device will connect via a Wi-Fi network, but we have no idea on how it will be juiced – perhaps through an internal battery, or a power adapter? I guess since it has already hit the FCC, it is only a matter of time before it will hit the market assuming Logitech sees that there is enough consumer population who will buy into the idea.

Mystery WiFi Logitech webcam diagram appears, lacks role-reversing hardware photos

Mystery WiFi Logitech webcam schematics leak, but no rolereversing hardware photos

Logitech’s collection of subtle HD webcams launched a few months ago, but an unannounced WiFi-connected camera has appeared at the FCC. Labelled up as the Logitech Broadcaster, a little bit of investigation reveals that the camera may be able to function unencumbered by cabling, similar to Livestream’s identically-named Broadcaster add-on or the ill-fated FlipLive cams. Connected through WiFi — thus explaining its appearance at the FCC — we still don’t know specifics on how it’ll be powered, whether it’s through a self-contained battery or otherwise. Until then, emissions and wavelength obsessives can direct themselves to the source for the science.

Sony Xperia tipo arrives at the FCC

You can say that it is a rite of passage for consumer electronics devices to hit the FCC before they are deemed fit to be unleashed upon the general market. Well, here we are with the Sony Xperia tipo that has just made its way to the FCC in the US, where it is also known as the ST21a if you are one who loves model numbers. It is said that the Sony Xperia tipo might see a future release sometime down the road, although that is not guaranteed. The Sony Xperia tipo is compatible with AT&T’s 3G bands, which is more or less in line with the rest of the Sony Xperia handsets. There is no word that AT&T will have this particular smartphone as part of their portfolio, but it could be distributed via the Sony Store SIM-free. Others say that Canada might receive the Sony Xperia tipo, too.

As for the hardware specifications, the Sony Xperia tipo will be powered by a single-core 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7225A chipset, 512MB RAM, a 3.2″ display at 320 x 480 resolution, 2.9GB of internal storage, a microSD memory card slot, with a 3.2-megapixel camera, all running on a 1,500mAh battery, with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in tow to get you started.
