HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G tablet spotted — on Sprint’s website, where else?

Posted in: 4G, 7-inch, Android, breaking news, ctia, froyo, HTC, htc sense, HtcSense, leak, sense, Sprint, tablet, Today's Chili, WiMAX

Oh, you know all about them, that much is true, but have you yet seen the HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G tablet? No, we hadn’t either, until this very moment when another premature information upload on Sprint’s website revealed their appearance. Two pre-registration pages exist for the as-yet unannounced products, one for the 1.2GHz dual-core EVO 3D smartphone and one for the 1.5GHz single-core EVO View 4G tablet. Both run Android and are unquestionably set to feature as Sprint’s flagship devices in their respective categories. Beyond confirming that the EVO looks like an EVO and noting that the EVO View seems to have a black case rather than the silvery one that the HTC Flyer (the product it’s based on) comes with, there’s little new here — you’ll have to wait till Sprint finally makes all this hardware official over at CTIA to learn more.

Dell Streak 7 gets certified in WiFi-only form, shows up on Amazon for pre-order

Posted in: 7-inch, amazon, Android, pre-order, tablet, Today's Chili, wi-fi, wifi

At about $200 on-contract, Dell’s Streak 7 is one of the cheaper ways to get yourself into an Android tablet — or at least into one made by a manufacturer you’ve actually heard of before. But, that “on-contract” bit means of course the 3G-equipped handheld will be considerably more expensive in the long-run — or $450 up-front if you skip the contract. Here’s one that isn’t. Early this AM we got word that a WiFi only version of the tablet had been certified and, now, here it is up on Amazon for pre-order. No release date is available but the price is: $379.99. That’s about $70 less than the 3G model and $20 less than the 3G-free Galaxy Tab is expected to retail for. Is that cheap enough to make up for its flaws? That, dear reader, is a question you must answer for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy Tab’s WiFi-only version rumored to cost $399, arrive on April 4th

Posted in: 7-inch, Android, froyo, galaxy, GalaxyTab, leak, price, pricing, samsung, slate, tab, tablet, Today's Chili, wifi

Shocking as it might be, we still haven’t had a Galaxy Tab from Samsung that rocks nothing but the WiFis, though that seems about to finally change. The 3G-deprived 7-inch Tab, promised for Q1 2011, has slipped on its schedule a little and looks set to now hit retail in the first week of April, at the admittedly appealing price of $399. Now, we all know the tablet market of April 2011 is shaping up to be extremely rich on machines with high specs, large screens and inflated opinions of themselves, but there could still be a fine little niche for an affordable, well built slate, even if it does only run on Froyo.

Samsung Galaxy Tab goes WiBro, yo

Posted in: 7-inch, GalaxyTab, korea, samsung, South Korea, SouthKorea, tab, Today's Chili, WiMAX

Making fun of WiBro — the Korean moniker for what’s otherwise known as IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX — never gets old. Fortunately, Samsung just gave us another reason to “pose hard” with the announcement of the WiBro- and T-DMB-equipped Galaxy Tab now available from the Korean operator KT for 900,000KRW or just a bit more than $800. Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same 7-inch Android tablet that’s about to get an 8.9 inch big brother on March 22nd. Hey Sprint, you seeing this?

BlackBerry PlayBook to be released on April 10th?

Posted in: 7-inch, availability, blackberry playbook, BlackberryPlaybook, launch, playbook, release, Release Date, RIM, rumor, slate, speculation, tablet, Today's Chili

It’s a short and sweet disclosure from BGR this morning as multiple sources have apparently informed the news outlet that RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook will make its debut on store shelves on April 10th. The BlackBerry Tablet OS will reach Gold Master status on March 31st, according to the same soothsayers, which is late enough in proceedings to necessitate it being delivered as an update upon first booting up your device. We too have heard of a late March / early April launch for the PlayBook, which RIM itself promised for the first quarter of 2011, though the intrigue of what carriers will be providing you with connectivity on this 7-incher remains. You’ll know more as soon as we do.

Verizon now offering 7-inch Galaxy Tab for $300 on a two-year contract

Posted in: 7-inch, Android, froyo, GalaxyTab, price, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tablet, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw

Verizon is bringing a nice bit of consistency to its tablet offerings today by introducing a new two-year deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The 7-inch tablet was previously available only on an unsubsidized basis, however now that the Motorola Xoom has become purchasable with a $200 subsidy in exchange for a 24-month commitment, Verizon is extending the same courtesy to potential Tab buyers as well. That means you now have a choice between the $500 strings-free Galaxy Tab or a $300 version that binds you to Verizon for a good little while.

[Thanks, Austin and Mario]

AuraSound Sound Station is the audiophile-grade iPod dock for your audiophile-grade bedstand

Posted in: 7-inch, iPhone, ipod, ipod dock, IpodDock, Today's Chili, touchscreen

It’s no good plunking your precious iPhone into a little dock that tries to skitter away from you. You need something with mass. Something with presence. Something like the AuraSound Sound Station, which offers an “audiophile-class acoustic design” in something a little less… dirigible-esque than other high-end docks we’ve seen. It also sports a seven-inch touchscreen wedged in the middle there, enabling “unrivaled ease of use,” also letting you play videos and things. AirPlay support appears to be missing, but the device is said to be upgradeable to make it a “living, learning machine” that can grow with you. That and many, many more idealistic euphemisms are waiting for you in the press release embedded below — but no mention of price.

HTC Flyer tablet hits Amazon.de for 669 euros

Posted in: 7-inch, android tablet, AndroidTablet, HTC, mwc, mwc 2011, Mwc2011, tablet, Today's Chili

We’re seeing some rather unattainable prices for many of the sexiest Android tablets to be unveiled at MWC and CES this year, but thankfully HTC’s Flyer looks to be coming in a little lower than most. It’s just popped up on Amazon.de at €669. Subtract the VAT and run that figure through a currency converter and you’re looking at a price of around $730. A bargain? Hardly, but better than some others we’ve seen. Sadly it’s still nicht verfügbar, but if you hurry you can jetzt vorbestellen.

[Thanks, Andrezj]

HTC Flyer vs. Galaxy Tab vs. iPad… fight!

Posted in: 7-inch, Android, GalaxyTab, gingerbread, hands-on, HTC, ipad, mwc, mwc 2011, Mwc2011, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tab, tablet, Today's Chili

In a world of 10-inch dual-core Androids, HTC has opted to tread its own path by cranking up processor speeds, sticking to a 7-inch form factor and eschewing the latest Honeycomb build for a Gingerbread version it could customize more comprehensively with Sense. All that’s well and good, but sometimes all it comes down to is how these gadgets look and feel. So to help you wrap your mind around the Flyer’s new aluminum body, we present a couple of comparison galleries with it set against two devices that need no introduction. Get clicking!
