Archos’ Transformer rival reappears, passes federal inspection, forgets its keyboard

Posted in: Today's Chili

Archos 101XS Transformer rival reappears passes federal inspection, minus the keyboard

If you cast your mind back several months, you might recall Archos unveiling a new range of tablets that can pair up with a keyboard add-on. While the French tablet maker kept quiet on the specifics at its debut– with not even a mention of the hardware’s OS — a filing at the FCC helps plug some of those information gaps. Courtesy of the user manual, we can see that the tablet will be running Android 4.0, while the as-yet unspecified storage capacity can be expanded by microSD. There’s a mini-HDMI port that looks like it will require its own proprietary cable, and the keyboard dock? Well, it’s absent from this FCC gallery, but it does appear in the user manual, demonstrating a twist and lift mechanism that creates a pop-up stand for the slab. Gaze on in horror as those FCC technicians prise open the Archos 101 xs’ shell and scope out the internal works — it’s all in the source below.

Xperia GX goes through federal inspection, is still the Sony phone we want

Xperia GX goes through federal inspection, is still the Sony phone we want

Sony’s forthcoming 4.6-inch Android ICS slab has appeared at the FCC, and has revealed a few more details on what appears to be the company’s next flagship smartphone. The highlight of the federal-sanctioned autopsy of the Xperia GX reveals an interesting point; a pentaband 3G radios capable of HSPA speeds, something that’s still a rarity among global smartphones. The filing otherwise offers up a not-so-thrilling glimpse at the hardware labeling and, well, not much else. See for yourself at the link below.

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.

Panasonic’s P-08D Eluga Live tablet makes a quick splash at the FCC, keeps no secrets

Panasonic's P-08D Eluga Live tablet makes a quick splash at the FCC, keeps no secrets

It wasn’t too long ago that we saw Panasonic’s Eluga Live slate destined to be one of NTT DoCoMo’s upcoming slab offerings, and now it has managed to land itself all the way across the pond at the probing FCC offices. Interestingly enough, but not terribly exciting, the filing reveals Panasonic’s P-08D tablet supports the 850MHz bands — which in theory should allow it to coast through AT&T’s old-gen waves without any hiccups, though this doesn’t necessarily mean it ever will. That of course, goes along with its expected WiFi capabilities and those DLNA streaming goods we’d told you about during its earlier appearance. As is often the case, however, the Eluga Live’s recent FCC visit doesn’t assure it’ll ever see the light of day in the US, but it does keep the magic doors open. If you’re eager to give the full set of docs a rundown, you can do so at the source link below.
