• The Toshiba Tablet

Toshiba recently announced the release of their tablet: The Toshiba Tablet (well, it seems that they have not decided of a name yet). The Toshiba Tablet is scheduled to be out this coming spring.

I did some searches and found some information about it and that`s what I will be sharing with you in this article.

According to the information provided by Toshiba, The Toshiba Tablet will have the latest version of Google Android, namely Honeycomb installed. Additionally, The Toshiba Tablet has quick-keys for options like Home, Menu and others to allow users to quickly navigate through the operating system of Honeycomb.

The Toshiba Tablet also has a 16:10 widescreen, with a resolution of 1280x800. Users will be able to view HD 720p videos and surf the internet without any cropping of the graphics. The screen of the Toshiba Tablet has ambient light sensors that allow the user to adjust the color and brightness to match with the time of the day.

As graphics card, the Toshiba Tablet has the NVIDIA Tegra 2, which promises an excellent multimedia experience to the viewers.

Among the usual features are ports for microphone and headphone, an SD card slot, a suite of sensor, GPS, USB and HDMI port and others…

There are 2 cameras in the Toshiba Tablet: a 2 mega pixel at the front and a 5 mega pixel at the rear, together with the autofocus feature. Wi-Fi would allow surfing of sites on the net, including flash sites and others.

The battery of the Toshiba Tablet can be removed and changed. However, you will need a screwdriver to do this.

Well, this is some information that I collected. Hope to obtain more details soon.

• Acer Iconia Touchbook

The Acer Iconia Touchbook is announced in December 2010. It was only available in the US and Canada at that time. However, since April 2011, the Acer Iconia Touchbook has become available to the whole world. So, I thought I would write something about it…

The most distinctive feature of the Acer Iconia Touchbook is its dual touch screens, along with a lack of a keyboard. Actually, the Acer Iconia Touchbook displays a virtual keyboard whenever both hands are placed on one screen.



Being 14 inch, and weighing about 6.2 pounds, the Acer Iconia Touchbook had won a top ten award for its design in the early 2011.

Acer introduces the Iconia Touchbook as the most advanced touchbook, providing an absolute touch experience to users as they use the immersive ways to interact with their files and to navigate the internet.





Well, with the two touch screens, users can for instant watch a video with one, and use the other screen to browse the library.

The Acer Iconia Touchbook provides an Acer Ring, which displays a variety of applications in a user-friendly interface once it is touched. Additionally, the Acer Iconia Touchbook has a special feature called Gesture Editor, with which users can assign particular gestures of the hand to a webpage or application.

With Windows 7 installed, an Intel Core i5 processor along with an integrated Intel HD graphics card and 4GB of DDR3 RAM, the Acer Iconia Touchbook promises an extreme tablet experience.

This is only some of the main features of the Acer Iconia Touchbook. It has many more options.


However, the main problem with the Acer Iconia Touchbook is that the virtual system uses a lot of battery (non-removable) and the Acer Iconia Touchbook can at most be powered to only 3 hours.




I have gathered some more pictures of the Acer Iconia Touchbook below:-
