The IFA in Germany means this week is now unofficially ‘International Android Tablet Week’ and the specs, photos and videos just keep coming from around the interwebs.
We covered the Samsung Galaxy Tab in our previous Android Tablets Roundup, but it went official today at the IFA. No firm pricing and launch date as yet. We’ll have the android news on this and other tablets as soon as it comes in. Here’s a quick reminder of the device and it’s spec.

Android 2.2
7-inch 1024×600 screen
Weighs 380g
ARM Cortex A8 1.2 GHz processor and PowerVR …

The Android tablet deluge continues unabated with Archos announcing 5 new Android tablets. Our recent Android Tablets pre-lanuch roundup covered the hottest yet to be released tablets, and some of these Archos offerings appear to be worthy additions to that group.
Archos have gone for a naming convention that signifies the screen size, and decided to brand them all as ‘tablets’. This is fine, although you might raise some eyebrows telling your friends about your new 2.8-inch 320×240 tablet. The 28 and 32 are really media players by another name, but we can …

Android Tablets (or Pads) are sure to be the next big thing on the Android News horizon, and reports of planned device releases keep coming thick and fast. Manufacturers are racing to own a slice of the soon to be lucrative Android Tablet market in field driven by technical wizardry (and maybe price).  We recently reported on the ViewSonic View Pad 7 which is just one of a few contenders in the space.
So, what device to lust after? Which Android Tablet gives us a warm ‘credit card at the ready’ feeling and which leaves …

ViewSonic has taken the wraps off their first Android tablet, the 7-inch Viewpad 7. The good looking mid-size pad sports Android 2.2 on a capactive screen, 3MP rear camera and a VGA font-facing webcam. For your data needs it packs an integrated GSM/3G modem and can be used as a standard Android phone.  (Although we question how many will want to hold a 7-inch slab of glass to their face. Headset use seems to be more likely).

The standard fayre that we’ve come to expect and love from our electonic gadgetry …

It seems like every other day there’s a Chinese manufacturer releasing yet another Android powered tablet PC, and sadly there’s very little to differentiate one from the other. Today’s offering from the Far East though, is admittedly a pretty nice looking piece of kit and for the most part, it doesn’t have the low end specs that some of it’s counterparts have been lumbered with. Chinese tech brand Mastone have unveiled the Lifepad I859. Mastone demo’ed a prototype of the device, then called the PROWAVE, at MWC 2010 (see the …

According to information passed to midbbs (translated from the Chinese), Chinese manufacturers Aigo are going to be releasing two new Android powered tablets. The E500 and E700 will have 5 inch (E500) and 7 inch (E700) multi-touch capacitive screens,and will be running Android 1.6 (which, despite it’s age, is still 0.1 versions higher than HTC Hero owners are currently running, not that we’re bitter…). The devices will support all the usual networking support as well as 720p video playback via the onboard Rockchip RK2808 chip. There are …

The folks over at PhoneDog have gotten wind that an unknown HTC phone has been filed with FCC for testing. The phone, model number PC70110, has a slideout QWERTY keyboard and an optical trackpad. It will sport WiFi, Bluetooth and, 3G bands II and V. More importantly, PhoneDog are speculating that it will run Android, rather than Windows Mobile as the device has a Home key (on the buttons at the bottom of the touchscreen) It’ s a pretty nice looking device if you ask us, and it’ll be interesting …

We mentioned a few days ago that the Archos 7 Home Tablet was starting to appear for pre-order at some US online stores, and before that, in German stores. Well, now the folks in the UK can join in on the pre-order fun. Expansys UK have started taking pre-orders on the 8GB flavour of the Archos 7 Home Tablet. The unit will cost a paltry £142.99, (plus a £5.75 delivery charge), which is a very tempting price for a 7 inch media player. Granted, the specs aren’t exactly world beating, …

A few days ago, Google acquired Agnilux, a semi-conductor company which was started up by some of the team behind the iPad’s A4 processor. Agnilux was founded by ex- PA Semiconductor engineers, Mark Hayter and Amarjit Gil. PA Semiconductor were acquired by Apple to build chips for the iPad and iPhone a while back and both Gil and Hayter were key figures in that work. So,they probably have more inside knowledge of the iPad’s workings than most – Apple are notoriously secretive about what’s under the hood of their hardware. …

Chinese tech site Shanzai got to have a first look at the early prototypes of Hott’s upcoming Android MIDs. The two devices, which will come in 5″ and 7″ flavours, are going to be running Android 1.6 and will use ARM processors. The 7″ model will provide HDMI output and, apparently, an “anti-sunlight display” for better visibility when outside on sunny days.
Check out the video below for a brief look at the devices in action. The 5″ device will allegedly be sold to resellers for under $100 and the 7″ …
