Lenovo IdeaTab 5 inches filtered – tablet of dual-core pocket

Lenovo IdeaTab – If last week we reported Axel filtration of the new 10-inch tablet Lenovo, Android ICS and Tegra 3, today is the turn of another device in the computer manufacturer. It seems that small tablets – or giant cell – have become fashionable after misfortune on Dell Streak 5, and companies like Samsung, which has put up for sale its new Galaxy Note recently, are seeing a growing interest in this type of personal devices, which increasingly attract a greater number of consumers because of their characteristics, straddling between a smartphone and a tablet. Lenovo did not want to miss the party, and is also preparing its proposal for this market under the name Lenovo IdeaTab.

The hybrid of the multinational with offices in the U.S. and China has been leaked from an anonymous source in the form of photos, and comes to meet this emerging market need for highly compact tablets, which until now seemed to spend more unnoticed, or were appreciated from very limited circle of users. Lenovo, which has changed its strategy in the name of this device away from the nickname ” Lenovo IdeaTab ” used in laptops and TabletPC, has chosen this time to integrate a 5-inch screen in its new product, which looks quite promising, with a profile apparently quite fine. With regard to hardware, unfortunately there is no published information that can be described as accurate, but it is speculated that incorporate a dual core CPU (Tegra 2?), Like the Samsung machine. Filtered through the pictures can also know that incorporate the standard MicroUSB data transfer and charging, and what appears to be an output microHDMI, to connect to high-definition panels, along with a front camera for communications. According to the source, Lenovo IdeaTab includes capacitive buttons at the bottom of the front, which do not correspond to an Android Honeycomb device or Ice Cream Sandwich.

The presence of these non-integrated physical buttons on the screen is concern that the device is released with a previous version of the Google operating system like Android Gingerbread, which raises some doubts. We may be outdated before a prototype of Lenovo, which comes to light after being replaced by a different design, or have been discarded the idea of ​​producing a product of its kind, which would be somewhat logical.

The website Android.com reveals a tablet under Ice Cream Sandwich, and an Easter egg

The official website Android.com is not new, since it already existed in the past; however, he recently had a facelift on his presentation which now allows its users to access a wide range of information useful.

When it connects, the first thing that we can distinguish is the new layout with a Google-backed Galaxy Nexus unknown tablet in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Comparing Android Honeycomb (3.2), we see easily that the interface is slightly changed, posting new icons in the quick action bar (back, home, multi-tasking), the icon of the top applications right of the screen and the bar notifications colored in blue (clock, Wi-Fi, battery, etc.). There is also a refreshing GTalk icons and Web browser.

The site is divided into four parts:

    * The version of Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich – Where the mystery deepens more and more about the new version of Android tablet dedicated to the ICS, there are full details of the presentation included in the new version dedicated to smartphones.

    * SDK and its components – all required information on the SDK and its components are available freely by the developers and concerned with the possibility to download and try them.

    * Selections of applications (genre) – For the selection of applications, it is difficult to make a criticism, however, I would say that most of the choices are correct, although some applications like Pandora, CNN, Today United States … should be replaced by others depending on the country.

    * Video on the number of activations Android performed each day around the world

Just over three years after the official release of Android, it’s still pretty bad, for users not bilingual do not have a translation in several languages ​​through a small panel brochure. On the Web, there are of course some tools for the translation of web pages, but unfortunately still sometimes not very accurate in their results.

Sharp Galapagos unveiled, tablet 7-inch with Android Honeycomb

Sharp Galapagos – And another one in the bag, if the fashion for large-scale tablets seemed the only possible bet when all is trying to compete with Apple at the moment in which all manufacturers have released their best devices that we are becoming more companies opt for more compact devices to prevail in the market. Sharp, who had initially announced three models within the family Galapagos, in sizes 5.5, 7 and 10.8 inches, announced in September that would offer smaller models or higher, the air leaving the possible production of the intermediate model of 7 inches, which is finally revealed, and plans to launch next month.

According to the specifications published by the Japanese firm, the new 7-inch Galapagos include a basic display with 1024×600 pixels resolution, and inside you’ll find an SoC NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core with 1GB of RAM, on the Android Honeycomb will run in version 3.2. With 8 GB of internal storage and MicroSD card slot, this tablet is within what is considered the middle range of tablets with Google operating system, almost on par with other similar devices such as Acer Iconia Tab A100. As for image capture, to distance themselves from the latest tablets / readers announced by Amazon, Kobo or Barnes & Noble recently, the proposal does include Sharp cameras, both back and front, with optical 5 and 2 Megapixels respectively, really useful for communication if the video together with support for WiMax connectivity as standard including Sharp Galapagos. In this regard, another interesting feature is that the tablet Galapagos can be used as a hotspot when connected to a WiMax network, so Internet will connect up to eight different devices.

For now, the launch of the new 7-inch Galapagos will be held in Japan on December 17 at a price still unknown – although given the mobile connectivity would not hesitate to place it above the competition – and although details are not known release in other areas, we may assume that will also come to west, though, over the next year, when the Tegra 3 tablets Galapagos have already flooded the market.

A first grip of Transformer Prime in Brazil

Sometimes it is not in the countries that we imagine that the products appear first; the Transformer Prime is Poper for example in Brazil, the site editor ZTOP having had enough time to take the animal to turn them into comparative pictures and videos. Unfortunately for us, the only video he has taken – or has been authorized by Asus – focuses on Shadowgun which apparently runs in its Tegra 2: even if it’s more fluid, it is not necessarily prettier.

As can be seen on his shots much more interesting than the video, the tablet Transformer Prime is very thin, in my opinion, all significantly buried in the first design. In fact, Asus has brought further the concept of the MacBook Air, repeating lines and adding tablet functionality independently, for a price two times lower. Of course, you will have a full test at the end the machine, but I do not know if it will be significantly different from that of the Transformer, if this new version comes out in Android Honeycomb.

The Tegra 3 brings a lot to the world of Android, but as a hybrid, I hope that there will be new things to say about the software side, including on office suites and considered more effective special characters, two weaknesses of the Transformer Prime unfortunately independent from Asus.
