Toshiba has three new tablets for Computex 2013, and while none can match the miserly $129 price tag of the ASUS MeMo Pad HD 7, the 10.1-inch range still promises something for most tableteers. We caught up with Toshiba today to check out the Excite Write, the Excite Pro, and the entry-level Excite Pure, and to see whether the company’s liberal splashing of high-res screens and digital pen functionality made the Excite series the tabs to pick from. Read on for some first-impressions.
Outwardly, all three share the same aesthetic, similar at first glance to previous Toshiba tablets (and, to the casual look at least, to the first-gen iPad). The casing is plastic, not metal however, and given a rough, nutmeg-grater-like texture which makes it grippy but, if we’re honest, not feel particularly premium to the fingertips. They’re also not the thinnest tablets around – 10.5mm thick for the Pro and Write, 10.2mm for the Pure – with weight hovering at the 600g mark for the Pure and 632g for the Pro/Write.
The Pure is the cheapest of the trio – $299.99/£249.99 – though it’s hardly ground-breaking. Tegra 3, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of onboard storage are par for the course in low-cost tablets, as is WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. There’ll be a 3G option, but Toshiba hasn’t price it up yet; otherwise, you get micro HDMI, microUSB and a microSD card slot, a 3-megapixel camera on the back, a 1.2-megapixel camera up front, and stereo 0.7W speakers.
The 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 display is decidedly average, with good colors when viewed face-on but which sour somewhat as you look at the screen askance. Performance of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is solid though nothing outstanding. Toshiba can’t help but push a keyboard, however, with the detachable folding Keyboard Cover adding a reasonably-sized layout with acceptable travel.
Things start to get more interesting when you step up to the Excite Pro and Excite Write. For the most part they’re identically-spec’d: you get a 10.1-inch 2560 x 1600 display that looks fantastic face-on, but which has the same narrowish viewing angles of the cheaper tablet, and NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 chipset with 2GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of storage.
Wired connectivity options are the same as before, but the wireless array steps up to WiFi a/b/g/n/ac along with the Bluetooth 4.0, together with LTE as an option. The main camera is now an 8-megapixel shooter, and there’s an HDR mode. Harmon Kardon has been tapped for its speakers, with 1W stereo on the back edges.
In the hand, the same somewhat cheap feeling lingers – Toshiba’s plastics are sturdy, but they hardly fill you with premium confidence – and it’s not instantly obvious where the Tegra 4′s extra turn of speed comes in. Still, that’s more to do with the third-party apps you load, and we spent more time with Toshiba’s suite of TruNote apps for the Write variant.
The chunky stylus – which has no dock to slot into the tablet itself, unfortunately, though you do at least get a pocket-clip – can be used with its nib and flipped to strum the eraser head against the screen; there’s also a side-barrel button for secondary functions. Unfortunately, Toshiba TruNote doesn’t quite hit the spot for perfect digital inking: there’s noticeable lag between you writing out words on the screen and the ink flowing, though when it does emerge it’s smooth and looks good on the high-res panel.
One of TruNote’s party tricks is being able to flip handwritten notes and hand-sketched graphics into text and art, though it probably comes as little surprise that we had mixed results. Our first attempt at cursive was simply too confusing for the Excite Write; when we forced ourselves to be a little more careful, the system managed to get roughly 50-percent of the text right. However, at other times it flipped the sentence order around – we exported a handwritten note to a text email, and got the words juggled nonsensically, for instance.
There’s also the possibility of grabbing a screenshot and annotating that. Unfortunately, that’s similarly sluggish, and Toshiba’s TruNote clipping interface is puzzling. What should be a simple process – snap a shot, grab a particular color and thickness of pen, annotate, and save – ends up being an exercise in frustration as you tap, tap-and-hold, try to find suitably contrasting colors, and generally grow frustrated by the system.
It’s reminiscent of Microsoft’s OneNote app, back in the days of Windows XP Tablet Edition, complete with both the laggy ink and the patchy conversion technology. Unfortunately for Toshiba, we’re ten years further on from XP Tablets, and Microsoft’s digital inking experience has come on leaps and bounds in the meantime. Factor in the relatively high price of the Excite Write (from $599.99; the penless Excite Pro is from $499.99) and we’re not sure the value shows through.

This week the folks responsible for creating the Gmail environment for email on devices ranging from desktop all-in-ones down to the smallest smartphone have begun unrolling their previously announced “Categories” update. This version of Gmail allows users to employ a rather simple system for categorizing emails, most of this activated and sorted automatically where, in the past, all was based only on keywords and email addresses.
The Android version of this application will be appearing on the Google Play store today for some users, and rolling out to the rest soon for others. If you feel that you need the UI right this minute, you can hit up Android Community for an APK link – easy as pie. From there you’ll see what we’re seeing above and below.
Users will be able to activate this user interface on their desktop machines in web browsers in the upper right-hand corner of the Gmail homepage. Clicking the Gear icon will bring you into a list that has “configure inbox” in it – click it and see!
This update user interface does not make the Gmail experience any more difficult than it has been in the past, and is entirely optional. You’ll not need to separate emails into new categories like these if you’re not all about it, and in Android it’s only about making things just a bit more smooth.
The update should appear immediately after the “configure inbox” button is tapped – the Android user interface update may need a shut down and re-open cycling to happen before any changes can be seen.
Several built-in categories will appear in both your web browser (desktop) and mobile app Gmail environments. You can choose to use these or modify at will. Let us know which sections you’ll be pushing your correspondance into!
Android’s version has features such as one-tap emptying of the trash can and pull-down refresh – otherwise known as swipe down to refresh. This version of Gmail for Android goes by the name 4.5-694836, if you’d like to know, and it’ll be made official in the Google Play store sooner than later.

This morning the folks at Verizon made the HTC One official for their 4G LTE network in the United States, ending weeks of rumors and tips aimed at the point. This device will work with the same specifications as it had on other carriers in the United States and internationally, carrying the HTC One hero name as it does so. At the moment, Verizon has only specified that the HTC One will be coming later this summer.
This announcement by version has been made in an unceremoniously small manner. While earlier this year it’d been made clear that Verizon’s release of the HTC One would be “a big deal”, here it would appear that it’s been given the silent move treatment. Regardless, this version of the HTC One will be delivered with essentially the same treatment as it’s been given with AT&T, here ushered in with Verizon apps and microSIM connectivity to Verizon’s network.
The Verizon HTC One saw Bluetooth certification this morning as well, all but promising it for the carrier in the process. Now we’ve only to see when the HTC One launches with the largest mobile network in the USA and if it’ll beat the release of the HTC One Google Edition revealed at the end of last month. The HTC One with “Nexus user experience” will be appearing on the 22nd of June.
An important point of distinction with this release is the fact that this machine will be called the HTC One, not any iteration of Verizon’s “DROID” line. This machine will not replace the DROID DNA with Verizon, nor will it knock out any other HTC device currently in Verizon’s lineup (not directly, anyway). This is a big marker in the history of HTC with Verizon as their inclusion in the DROID line has, up until today, been a bit of a staple.
Stay tuned as the HTC One gets detailed in full from Verizon as they push past the initial Twitter announcement. This device will quite likely be launched in a 32GB iteration in silver, though a red version of the device is not yet out of the question.

Apple is racing to finalize internet radio deals that will allow it to launch a new service at its WWDC 2013 keynote on June 10, sources claim, with “iRadio” agreements reportedly settled with Warner Music Group and partially with UMG. The Warner deal – which will supposedly see Apple pay 10-percent of its ad revenue to the music publisher, around twice the amount Pandora coughs up – was settled over the weekend, according to both the WSJ and NYTimes, though Sony is supposedly remaining difficult.
So far, Apple is believed to have agreed deals on recorded music rights and music publishing rights with Warner Music Group, while a similar deal with Universal Music Group has only so far been to cover recorded rights. Talks with Sony Music Entertainment and Sony/ATV are ongoing, the insiders claim, with negotiations “far apart” according to the WSJ.
Hanging in the balance is Apple’s take on the streaming music segment, colloquially known as “iRadio”, and challenging services like Spotify and Pandora. The streaming media platform would offer some degree of control over track selection, though the exact mechanism is unclear at this stage, and is expected to be offered to users free of charge; Apple would intersperse adverts provided by its own iAds service to monetize the streaming.
However, first the company needs to negotiate a deal on the rights to actually use the publisher’s tracks, agreements which are separate from the existing contracts Apple has for iTunes downloads. That has long been believed to be a stumbling block, with content owners concerned that they may end up marginalizing their own role in the industry if they give Apple the rights.
They’re also stinging from previous agreements inked with Pandora, which are now said to be considered too generous to the streaming service. Pandora pays approximately 4-percent of its revenue to publishers, which now want more than twice that amount from Apple.
In Apple’s favor is the potential to tie streaming listening in with track downloads, given the existing iTunes store functionality. However, that’s unlikely to happen until Apple gets all of the big names locked in. “Apple is unlikely to launch the product without striking these deals” the WSJ concludes.
We’ll know more at WWDC 2013, where Apple is also expected to unveil the new version of iOS, iOS 7, together with taking the wraps off of a fresh line-up of MacBook notebooks. SlashGear will be liveblogging the opening keynote on June 10.

ASUS has revealed its take on the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the ASUS FonePad Note, a 6-inch Full HD Android phablet brought fresh to Computex 2013 today. Fronted by a 6-inch, 1080p Super IPS+ display running at 450 nits brightness, the FonePad Note comes equipped with a digital stylus for notetaking and sketching – just as Samsung proved there was a market for with the original Note – while on the inside there’s a 1.6GHz dualcore Atom Z2560 processor, rather than the ARM chip we might have expected to have discovered.
The x86 chip is paired with 2GB of memory, along with a DC-HSPA+ modem for getting online. No LTE, though you should be able to see speeds of up to 42Mbps down – network depending – from the device. It should also support voice calls.
Otherwise, there’s an 8-megapixel camera on the back, along with a 1.2-megapixel camera on the front for video calls. ASUS has also shifted the stereo speakers to the front, too, flanking the touchscreen top and bottom.
The big-phone-with-a-pen category has had mixed results for different companies, so it’s nowhere near clear whether ASUS’ device will have what it takes to succeed. On the one hand, you have Samsung and its surprise hit, the Galaxy Note series. Now in its second generation, the Note II is half an inch (diagonal) smaller than the FonePad Note, though rumors have pegged the third-gen version – which is expected to be revealed sometime around September, most likely at IFA 2013 – as getting even smaller, just as the Galaxy S 4 has grown smaller with it.
However, on the flip side, there’s LG’s little-loved Optimus Vu, the company’s attempt to cash in on the stylus segment. That offered a more unusual 4:3 aspect ratio display, attempting to more closely mimic a physical notepad, but sales never reached the same level as Samsung’s phone. LG later shifted to do away with the pen for the Optimus G Pro, which it has positioned as a rival to the Note II despite not having active digital stylus functionality.
A big deciding factor for ASUS will be pricing and availability, of course; the company is yet to confirm either.

Try taking a coffee snob into Starbucks and you might have trouble; that is, unless you’re lucky enough to come across a branch with a Clover machine. The one-cup brewer – borrowing principles from a French Press and a vacuum pot, among other preparation methods, and which allows for far greater experimentation with beans, roasts, and strengths – has slowly found its way into a small number of Starbucks locations, a welcome distraction from big pots of Pike Roast and milk-heavy cappuccino. Even with Starbucks’ might behind it, though, the Clover has been a relative secret among the coffee cognoscenti, but all that could change in short order with signs of a new, super-auto Clover in development.
The original Clover machine was developed by the simply-named startup Coffee Equipment Company, back in 2005. An attempt to mix the flavor profiles of brewed coffee with the one-cup focus usually reserved for espresso-based drinks, it took a new approach to squeezing a mug out of 30-seconds of contact with hot water.
To do that the Clover’s creators came up with Vacuum-Press technology, a combination of French Press and Vacuum Pots. In a French Press, ground coffee is fully immersed in near-boiling water and left to brew, then the grounds separated out by pushing through a fine mesh. With a Vacuum Pot, water heated in a bottom glass globe is forced up into a second globe on top, mixing with ground coffee there. When pulled off the heat, the brewed coffee rushes back down into the bottom half, ready for drinking.
In Clover’s Vacuum-Press, a little of both takes place. On the top of the machine there’s the top of a computer-controlled piston, into which the coffee is loaded; water from a fixed tap above is poured in, and then – after some stirring and brewing time – the piston pushes up, with a 70-micron mesh drawing the grounds up to the top of the machine, while a vacuum sucks the coffee itself out of the bottom, into a waiting container.
Clover 1S Walkthrough:
There’s something of a spectacle to it, but more importantly it allows for a huge range of coffee flavors to emerge. On the one hand, the whole process is far more controlled than the somewhat haphazard French Press, with the water temperature precisely maintained, more consistency in how the barista can stir the brewing grounds, and more even extraction when the drink is ready. The general report from Clover drinkers is of exceptional clarity, with the delicate complexities of different coffees becoming clearer when made with the machine.
The complexity took on a new dimension in 2008, though, when Starbucks bought the Coffee Equipment Company, and announced plans to put several machines in its stores. It prompted no small amount of consternation among independent coffee shop owners, some of whom had already bought Clover 1S machines (at roughly $8-11k apiece) but who suddenly realized they would be beholden to Starbucks for parts and servicing.
However, a greater question was whether Starbucks’ push for coffee making simplicity could at all be balanced with the demands a Clover put on its accompanying barista. Starbucks had originally used gleaming La Marzocco semi-automatic espresso machines – which required the operator to grind and tamp the beans separately – but, in the early 2000s, switched to super-automatic machines that effectively do everything at a single button press. Known colloquially as bean-to-cup brewers, these are certainly easier to use (no complex staff training on grinders, tracking espresso shots, and the like) but give up flexibility and top quality in the process. For the sake of having consistently average shots of espresso, Starbucks lost the expertise that drew out great shots.
In contrast, a Clover 1S is a lot more time-consuming than hitting a button and watching espresso drip out. Though the extraction takes around 30-40 seconds in all, there’s a fair amount of engagement through the process as a whole: the barista has to decide on the water temperature, how long to stir the grounds (not to mention how aggressively), and when to decant the coffee. The spent grounds have to be squeegeed off the piston mesh into a waste chute between uses. Before all that, there’s helping the customer through the decision process of actually picking beans that might suit the clarity a Clover delivers, then grinding them appropriately. How, critics questioned, would that fit with the fast-paced bar of a downtown Starbucks?
The answer was that it didn’t – or, at least, it hasn’t yet. Starbucks’ exact roll-out of Clover machines hasn’t been numerically detailed, though it’s certainly not many; the greatest number are in the US, of course, while foreign locations are lucky if they get a glimpse of one of the brewers. The UK, for instance, has just one Clover in all of its Starbucks stores.
That may well be about to change, however, with the apparent arrival of a new Clover machine. A freshly-filed US patent application – “Apparatus, systems, and methods for brewing a beverage” – spotted by Spudge seemingly describes a multi-brew-module coffee machine that uses the same principles as the 1S, but with a blast of super-auto convenience.
“In one embodiment, a system for brewing a single-cup portion of coffee is provided. The system comprises a first brew module, a second brew module, and a third brew module. The first brew module, the second brew module, and the third brew module are each configured to brew a single-cup portion of coffee in about 30 seconds or less. In such an embodiment, the first brew module comprises a first doser assembly, a first upper subassembly, a first interior subassembly, and a first dispensing portion. The first doser assembly is engaged with the first upper subassembly and is configured to receive one or more hoppers. The first upper subassembly comprises a first wiper assembly for automatically cleaning the upper subassembly after a brew cycle. The first interior subassembly comprises a first piston configured to raise and lower coffee grounds during a brew cycle. The first dispensing portion is engaged with the first interior subassembly and is configured to provide brewed coffee to a drinking receptacle after a brew cycle” Starbucks Coffee Corporation patent application
Where the original Clover was one part of an overall coffee making process, the super-auto Clover takes charge of all stages. It automatically grinds the beans, measures out the right dose, brews, and then cleans itself, all in the space of around thirty seconds or less. Starbucks’ engineers have even seen fit to include a little “visual theater” for the customer, with cooling vents that serve the bonus duty of puffing out aesthetically pleasing steam and letting the coffee smell spread around the store.
A cluster of hoppers on the top of the machine would allow for multiple bean options, potentially giving the mass coffee market the same sort breadth of choice that tea drinkers have been enjoying with their individually-wrapped bags for years now.
For Starbucks, it’s an opportunity to translate an interesting but niche acquisition into something far more relevant to the bulk of its stores. The company knows that a big chunk of its North American audience still prefers brewed coffee to espresso-based drinks, and luring them in with the flexibility of an on-demand, by-the-cup brewing process – perhaps with a little extra on the tab, in recognition of how unique an offering it is – could mean a neat chunk of extra business.
It also stands a good chance of being cheaper to run in the long term, too. Right now, Starbucks’ drip machines make coffee in bulk, and that has a relatively short shelf life. The company’s policy is to dump whatever’s left after two hours and brew up a new batch, no matter whether it’s almost all been sold or just a cup’s worth has gone. In contrast, a super-auto Clover could scale to suit, kicking out a theoretical two drinks a minute per module in rush hour, or idling with no waste during lull periods.
Is the coffee connoisseur missing out by the absence of a more involved barista? There’s inevitably something to be lost when you take control out of the hands of trained, enthusiastic people and give it over to repetitive routines; whether Starbucks’ staff will actually have any real clue about the Clover coffees they’re serving, or simply point to well-rehearsed marketing blurbs on a card by the machine, remains to be seen. Then again, if they’re so potentially clueless to begin with, perhaps it’s better in the long run that they have as little input into the making of your drink as possible.
In the end, it’s the coffee in the cup that’s important. That has far more to do with beans than it does machines. Back when the first Clover 1S started showing up in Starbucks locations, the NYTimes sent down Cup of Excellence co-fonder George Howell to taste the various options. Although there were some “interesting” flavors in his opinion, the overall feedback was of too darkly roasted beans (something often done by roasters to make broadly homogenized blends less dependent on the whims of the supply chain, not necessarily because it makes for a stronger cup) that ended up making underwhelming or even unpleasant cups of coffee. Bad input, bad output. Starbucks may well have solved the Clover convenience issue, but it’ll have to match that with great tasting beans if it doesn’t want all that clarity to show it up.

Though the code-named “Haswell” generation of Intel Core processors has been finding itself the subject of reports and detail talks from the company that makes it for many, many months, it’s today that the 4th generation of Intel processors gets its official ushering in to the public. This June 4th – that’s just a couple days away – marks the point at which Intel suggests it’s time to upgrade the innards of the generation of “2-in-1″ computing: that’s convertible computers – flipping screens, removable displays, and everything in-between.
Intel suggests that the PC has been moving through an era of re-invention since the introduction of the “Utrabook” category in 2011 at Computex – and what do you know, Computex is once again just around the corner – starting on June 4th, the same day Haswell will be on the market. By 2012, Intel says, the Ultrabook had reached mainstream pricing and brought on touchscreen abilities – there saw the 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge Intel Core processor family as well.
Now in 2013 Intel sees “2-in-1″ computing moving forward. These are computers that are sometimes “tablet first”, otherwise “notebook first”, working with differentiation opportunities galore. To work with this odd set of machines as well as the desktop family, Intel has revealed a set of processors both inside and outside the Ultrabook environment.
For the mobile family there are H, M, U, and Y processors. Haswell’s H category works with Quad Core and Intel Iris Pro graphics, while M works with Quad Core and Dual-core 2-Chip. Starting with U, Haswell processors are designed for Ultrabooks, the U category bringing an SoC with Intel Iris graphics options, the Y category bringing in the SoC with the lowest power made specifically for detachables.
Desktop Haswell processors exist in the K-Series for enthusiasts, these being unlocked and ready for overpowering. There will also be performance and mainstream Haswell architecture for both performance and mainstream applications in both quad-core and dual-core configurations, with low power going to the S-Series and T-Series. Intel’s presentation of the current state of desktop computing includes an “ultra small footprint” tied to responsive performance and stunning visuals: smaller as they continue to get more powerful.
The Intel 8 Series Chipset for both mobile and desktop applications will be pushed on June 4th as well. Pricing on end-user desktop units will begin with the Core i5-4570′s $192 USD – that’s with its lowest specifications intact, ready to roll. Each of the i5 offerings shown so far cost less than $300, with the highest-spec’d i5-4670K coming in at $242 USD. Meanwhile the i7 family begins at $303 with the i7-4770 and ramps up to $339 USD for the i7-4770K, with more on the way.

Two different groups have announced their own unique kind of 3D printing material today, one of them from Materialise, the other from Shapeways. While the Materialise material is a bit more of a bendable material the company suggests could be made into such objects as purses and flexible piggy banks, Shapeways material is much more of a “squishy” sort of situation. While the difference between the two may seen slight to those who’ve not had the chance to experience either, we can’t stop our brains from pouring out the possibilities – squishy, squishy possibilities.
The Shapeways company is one that generally has users create and order models – they have you send in a model or create one with their tools, they print it, and you get it shipped to you. Creators of these objects can also sell their items through Shapeways Shops.
With the release of this Elasto Plastic material, Shapeways is working with “makers” – people who design 3D objects for 3D printing – to test in “one big, global 3D Printing R&D team.” Elasto Plastic is being shown and experimented here on purely pre-release terms, noting that they’re not at a final point for properties, this including both finish and color.
The material presents a unique new platform where creators of 3D objects can get a bit more wobbly with their experiments.
“The new, improved Elasto Plastic is a great option for Makers as it is an incredibly durable material with a lot of really interesting properties such as high impact resistance, flexibility and compression (depending on the geometry), along with a high level of static friction because of the surface texture. Though not strictly water-tight, it can hold liquids, but it does not like high temperatures or fire … and it is not so good for very small things.” – Shapeways
How about a little set of squishy toys for the ol’ Pokemon collection? Have a peek at Shapways’ video for this material and see what you make of it.
The “Rubber-Like” material from Materialise being shown this week was originally created for a dress. This dress was shown off earlier this year by Iris van Herpen while the material was, as Materialise calls it: “the first fully-functional flexible material for 3D printing.” This material is being re-shown this week because it will here, for the first time, be offered for testing by the public.
Like the Shapeways material above, this material is part of Materialise’s own 3D printing service, and wont be available for purchase outside of their setup. This material works for shock absorption, rigid-yet-bendable applications, and of course, creating a bouncy ball of sorts. The company has made it clear that this material is not as strong as rubber, but has many similar properties.
