We have already seen a few of hands-on videos of the upcoming BlackBerry Playbook tablet but now thanks to Engadget we have a bit more in-depth info on this tablet. As you have probably heard BlackBerry Playbook runs QNX operating system that BlackBerry purchased in April last year which in combination with WebKit and Adobe Flash and Air and named it BlackBerry Tablet OS. It offers a very smooth and polished user interface and experience. It is set to be released in Q1 2011 and promises to be the first tablet to offer real multi-tasking as we have come to expect it from desktop operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS X. No info on the pricing yet but we expect it to be priced similarly to Apple iPad.

Lenovo IdeaCentre A310-VCL1EUK 21.5 inch All-in-one Desktop PC Review
Posted on by

When we think of an all-in-one desktop the only computer that springs to our minds is Apple iMac. Now there are other Windows all-in-one desktop PCs out there available from Dell, Sony, MSI, HP, Acer, Packard Bell and Samsung. But none really stand out as iMacs do which makes them forgetable. But Lenovo just might have built one that will make its way into iMac’s territory with Lenovo IdeaCentre A310. Continue reading >

Today we continue with our coverage of Google related products with probably the most exciting one – Google Cr-48 notebook running Google Chrome OS. Again big thanks to guys over at Engadget for posting an in-depth review. Google Cr-48 notebook might not appeal to all users as the Chrome OS is currently very limited in terms of software and applications selection but for someone looking just for a fast web browsing netbook replacement the Google Cr-48 will not disappoint with up to 8 hour battery life and stunning design. But bare in my that it did struggle with playing Flash videos. Let’s hope that the final version will fix these issues and that it will be priced competitively. Photos, video and full specifications after the break.

Google Nexus S Review

Google Nexus S Review
Posted on by

Following this week’s flood of announcements from Google it looks like we are set for a flood of reviews and hands-on in the following week. Starting of with already seriously leaked Google Nexus S a review by guys over at Engadget. The Nexus S is essentially a Samsung Galaxy S in terms of design and hardware but it delivers ‘pure’ Google Android software experience as it doesn’t feature any of the Samsungs’ OS customisation which is a good thing as the TouchWiz interface that comes with Samsung handsets is sometimes clumsy. Thanks to the latest version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread and some of the top hardware this currently is the best Android smartphone on the market. Videos and photos after the break.

Dell Inspiron Duo 10.1 inch Netbook/Tablet Review

Dell Inspiron Duo 10.1 inch Netbook/Tablet Review
Posted on by

Dell has teased us with Dell Inspiron Duo – a device promising to bring the versatility of a netbook and form factor of tablet all in one numerous times and now thanks to guys over at Engadget we can put speculations and predictions to rest. It seems the Dell Inspiron Duo pretty much came out as a product we expected. A solid netbook with decent performance but lack of good touchscreen UI, no VGA or HDMI, somewhat short battery life and a starting price of whopping £449 here in the UK we just can’t see it winning many people’s hearts over. Engadget video review after the break. Continue reading >

HP recently launched Palm Pre 2 running the new version of webOS 2.0 (HP webOS) and guys over at TrustedReviews managed to get one in for a review.

While Palm Pre 2 brings hardware improvements with a fast 1GHz processor and software improvements with webOS 2.0 it fails to impress due to by today’s standards a small screen (3.1 inch), small QWERTY keys and no on-screen keyboard. Specifications and video review after the break.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 QWERTY Slider Smartphone Review

BlackBerry Torch 9800 QWERTY Slider Smartphone Review
Posted on by

Windows Phone 7 is creating all the recent buzz but BlackBerry has also recently launched a new operating system the BlackBerry OS 6.0 and the BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone is one of the first handsets to feature this freshly baked operating system. By the looks of it BlackBerry looked upon the Palm Pre when making this device as it is built on the same concept as the Palm Pre. It is a touchscreen smartphone with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. Personally we like this kind of handsets as they offer the advantages of a large touchscreen smartphone and the convenience of a physical keyboard for typing long emails and text messages.
