Android tablet turned into a TV gaming console

The folks over at HDblog.it recently turned their Acer Iconia Tab A500 into a gaming system with the help of an Xbox 360 controller and an HDMI-cable connected to a 40″ Samsung TV. Their game of choice?

Aussie retailers skirt Apple injunction to sell Galaxy Tab 10.1

But the courts are no obstacle for the determined, and a collection of crafty online retailers are still selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 down under. Like Prohibition smugglers they get their stock from outside the continent and sell the tablets as import items, exploiting a loophole in Australian law.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Naturally Apple isn’t happy. The American company has forwarded copies of the injunction to eTail Solutions and and MobiCity, two of the online shops currently selling the contraband tablets. Other retailers currently offering the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to underserved Aussies include import specialist Expansys, Techrific, dMavo and eBay, though not all of these have been contacted by Apple. According to an eTail Solutions manager, to stop the sales Apple would have to also win an injunction against Samsung where the tablets are being imported from, in this case, Hong Kong.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Retailers are still prohibited from purchasing the tablets directly from Samsung, but Samsung is trying to overrule the courts’ ruling with an appeal. If that fails there isn’t a whole lot Samsung can do, since Apple has flat-out denied any sort of appeal. Similar cases between Apple and Samsung are being waged all over the world, with troubling developments here in the United States as the circuit judge in charge of the case declared Samsung in violation of some of Apple’s technical patents.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> )</div> </div> </div>

Dell did not give a reason for their failure to send out an over-the-air update.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Android users are more than familiar with long delays for current software, but this denial of service will sting just for T-Mobile users, who are apparently plain out of luck, while the rest of the Streak 7 userbase enjoys Android 3.2. The snub is probably because T-Mobile hasn’t sold enough of the HSPA+ tablets to warrant the development time for an update – not that that makes the people who spent the most on the hardware (after two-year wireless service contracts) any happier.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> A port of Honeycomb from the other Streak 7 hardware is likely if I know the good folks at XDA, but that’s not the point. It shouldn’t have been necessary for users to hack their tablets to receive functionality that’s been available in other tablets for the better part of a year already. This latest bit of news makes it more and more important to pay attention to the version of Android that’s on a device you buy – neither the manufacturer nor the carrier has any obligation to upgrade the Android software within, and unless you’re willing to throw your warranty out the window, you could be stuck.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> )</div> </div> </div>

Dell will not upgrade T-Mobile Streak 7 4G to Honeycomb

Well that just sucks. T-Mobile Streak 7 owners, I hope you like Froyo. While users of the unlocked 3G and WiFi variants of Dell’s Streak...

Many tablets are already powerful yet super thin like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the upcoming Toshiba Excite but these guys look to beat them all with this latest release. Measuring in at just 7.4mm thick for the thinnest model and 8.1mm for the larger quad-core version, yes I said quad-core — Details below.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> We are still fishing through the details but back in May we mentioned the ZiiLabs quad-core processor and now it appears it might soon be hitting the market. ZiiLabs offers the processor and reference designs for other OEM’s to build on and bring to market their own Android Honeycomb tablets. Below is just one more of the many they’ve designed in the recent past.</div> <div mce_style="text-align: center;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-52791 aligncenter" height="239" mce_src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1675/jaguartablet10540x399.jpg" src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1675/jaguartablet10540x399.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: both; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" title="jaguar_tablet 10" width="324" /></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> They are super thin and sound pretty sexy but what about the other specs you ask? Here’s the details on the rest of the hardware under the hood.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="strong" mce_style="font-weight: bold;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.5;">ZiiLabs Jaguar3 Specs:</span></div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> -Android 3.2 Honeycomb<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-1.5 GHz ZMS 20 dual-core processor / ZMS 40 quad-core processor<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-10.1″ display 1280 x 800 16.7 million colors<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-1 GB LP-DDR2 or DDR3 memory options<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-12 MP rear-facing camera<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-16/32/64 GB of internal storage<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-Dual channel WiFi b/g/n<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-Bluetooth 2.1+EDR<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-GPS, accelerometer, compass and gyroscope<br style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" />-Micro HDMI 1.4 output supporting 1080p and 3D stereo</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> These options are all available to OEMs that wish to create the ultimate tablet with the ZiiLabs design. Have an ultra-thin 7.4mm dual-core tablet or the slightly thicker powerhouse with the quad-core ZMS 40 SOC. Oh and these are wrapped in a magnesium frame to be ultra strong, yet lightweight. If any of this doesn’t get you excited to see what they can do I don’t know what will. Hopefully we see some of these start to hit the market soon.</div> </div> </div>

ASUS Padfone delayed because of Ice Cream Sandwich

Since then, there hasn’t been any sign or news of the device – until now. Alex Sun, head of ASUS’ Personal Mobile Device department, has stated that the hybrid ASUS Padfone will be arriving with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich hence the delay of the phone/tablet. Ice Cream Sandwich is said the version of Android that is said to solve fragmentation issues and will also be the OS that runs on both tablets at smartphones – which is pretty important in the Padfone’s case since it is a tablet/smartphone hybrid.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> If that’s the case, it looks like it’s going to be a long wait, because according to previous reports about Ice Cream Sandwich (if it turns out to be true) – it’s nowhere near completion in its current state. Which means that the device could possibly be delayed until next year. Hopefully its hardware won’t be outdated by then.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:yIl2AUoC8zA" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:yIl2AUoC8zA" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6318/23864562.gif" src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6318/23864562.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:qj6IDK7rITs" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:qj6IDK7rITs" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2696/73769506.gif" src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2696/73769506.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:gIN9vFwOqvQ" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9630/43241137.gif" src="http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9630/43241137.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:-BTjWOF_DHI" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=s8zYHR4pPVI:xB8Da6Snvi8:-BTjWOF_DHI" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7914/97820911.gif" src="http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7914/97820911.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a></div> </div> </div>

FCC filings have shown off an upcoming device known as the ARNOVA 7b G2 – where it is open season to speculate just what the “G2″ suffix in the naming convention means. Some say it stands for “Generation 2”, where label photos of the device’s back point towards a new and curved design which differs a wee bit from the original ARNOVA 7, as that model came with flat sides, a tapered top and bottom.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> Apart from that, the FCC filings do not reveal other additional things about the device apart from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Do you think that Archos will retain the sub-$100 price point for the updated ARNOVA 7 when it is released?,</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:yIl2AUoC8zA" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:yIl2AUoC8zA" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8477/43769213.gif" src="http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8477/43769213.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:qj6IDK7rITs" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:qj6IDK7rITs" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9681/30553530.gif" src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9681/30553530.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3484/76104136.gif" src="http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3484/76104136.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:-BTjWOF_DHI" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=gduTh8oO8-Y:rQFUrcWYseA:-BTjWOF_DHI" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3419/29196818.gif" src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3419/29196818.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a></div> </div> </div>

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 receives FCC approval

<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79263" height="450" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7181/galaxytab89fcc.jpg" title="galaxy-tab-89-fcc" width="592" />One of the reasons the HTC Flyer comes in a 7″ form factor is because HTC wanted it to be small enough to hold in one hand without inducing any cramps in the long run, not to mention slipping the Flyer into your jacket pocket in a jiffy. Well, 10″ tablets are nice to look at, but try carrying it with just one hand all day long? Samsung explores the middle ground between the two with their Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 which has just passed FCC testing, where it is known as the A3L-GTP7300, sporting a 3G emblem to boot.<br/><br/>Initial reports of this tablet tout the Galaxy Tab 8.9 to ship with Android 3.X Honeycomb right out of the box, accompanied by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, an 8.9″ display at 1280 × 900 resolution, 1GB RAM, a 3-megapixel rear camera alongside a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and a choice of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities.<br/><div><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=GPL2anM3gks:irIVtABPJgk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/1272/43608126.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=GPL2anM3gks:irIVtABPJgk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/975/42233261.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=GPL2anM3gks:irIVtABPJgk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/896/15547798.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=GPL2anM3gks:irIVtABPJgk:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7103/50791225.gif" /></a></div>

Well, considering the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1 has already been released, surely there is quite a number of original Galaxy Tab owners who have made the upgrade switch. For those who have remained blindly loyal, here’s some good news – your Sprint Galaxy Tab will be receiving the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update very soon, where it will be known as build number EF17, sporting HD Bluetooth support as well.</p><br/><p>Touted to arrive this coming July 5th, the update will be made available via Google OTA (Over The Air). This update will be spread out across a 4-day period for those who are eligible Sprint customers, based on your status with the Google servers. We would have liked to see a direct download link as well too, but beggars can’t be choosers, no?</p><br/><p><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/sprint-galaxy-tab-android-2-3-gingerbread-update/">Sprint Galaxy Tab to receive Android 2.3 Gingerbread update</a>, By <a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com">Ubergizmo</a>. <b>Top Stories</b> : <a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/xperia-play-review/" title="Xperia Play Review">Xperia Play Review</a>, <a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/infuse-4g-review/" title="Samsung Infuse 4G Review">Samsung Infuse 4G Review</a>, </p> <div><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=XdP82QVTQeE:G7LSDnuhHgc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/7403/23509557.gif"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=XdP82QVTQeE:G7LSDnuhHgc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2452/89195749.gif"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=XdP82QVTQeE:G7LSDnuhHgc:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img border="0" src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5752/23166592.gif"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=XdP82QVTQeE:G7LSDnuhHgc:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img border="0" src="http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1084/30453094.gif"></img></a><br/></div>
