Most tablets users would agree that although these devices are portable and convenient, they can only be used comfortably if you are seated at a desk or when you use something else to support it against. If you let it rest on your lap for a long time, you can develop strain in your neck, a burning sensation between your shoulder blades or even a lower back pain.
Now there is good news for those who are hooked to their tablets and electronic devices. A unique, convenient and inexpensive accessory, Rocketfish PadPivot, is available where you can relax and enjoy your favorite device in style, comfort, and privacy. Strapped to your thigh or placed on a flat surface, you can use your tablet or mobile device whether you are at home, office, school, on a plane, or a bus. The flexible ball and socket attachment allows you to raise the tablet and gives you a flexible pivot to which you can position the tablet so you can use your device most comfortably within your own privacy. The full-fledged accessory can be folded and easily stored in your back pack or pocket. Read More →
Although the BlackBerry Playbook has not been a huge success in the sales department there are still quite a lot of people that would rather die than part with their beloved BlackBerry phones and tablets. Apple and Android powered tablets have been getting all the attention in the media and there are lots of manufacturers lining up to come up with thousands of accessories for those products. But the lack of sales and media attention doesn’t mean the BlackBerry Playbook doesn’t have any accessories to go with it.
Ballistic has just announced their famous cases for the BlackBerry Playbook tablet. The cases will provide protection against drops and knocks to the tablet and feature three layer protection; the cases will come with a shock absorbing polymer layer, an impact resistant hard plastic layer, and an inner silicone layer to protect your investment against the hardest of drops. No word yet on when the tablet case will be available and how much it will cost.
Want a tablet? Why not turn that cheap netbook into one? That’s exactly what one guy over at myDellMini did. He’s hacked up a Dell Vostro A90, added a Hoda Technology solderless touchscreen kit and this is what he ended up with.
Reports coming in are pointing at Foxconn as the manufacturer the rumored Apple Table.
A Digitimes insider reports:
…the tablet PC features will focus more on e-book functionality rather than music, and that based on Apple’s marketing strategy, long battery life, quick Internet connectivity and an easy-to-use user interface will be key features of the device
Surprisingly, initial shipments, due early 1st Q 2010, are only in the 300,000 to 400,000 unit range.
Gizmodo is showing off a “booklet” PC and reporting that this is Microsoft’s take on the future of tablet computing.
Courier is a real device, and we’ve heard that it’s in the “late prototype” stage of development. It’s not a tablet, it’s a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. They’re connected by a hinge that holds a single iPhone-esque home button. Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.

New rumors fueled by an article in today’s Financial Times put an Appletablet PC on the market in time for Christmas.

If any of the artist renderings, like the one pictured above are even close to reality it’ll be a pretty toy… Given the amazing MacBook and iPhone designs released over the past few years, I’m sure it won’t dissapoint.
Performance and features on the other hand are still anyone’s guess. Pretty or not, if the rumored tablet PC doesn’t offer performance at the levels of an entry level MacBook or PC Laptop, I don’t see the point in owning one myself.
Apple is working with EMI, Sony Music,Warner Music and Universal Music Group, on a project the company has codenamed “Cocktail”, according to four people familiar with the situation.
The labels and Apple are working towards a September launch date for the project, which aims to boost interest in albums by bundling liner notes and video clips with the music.
So, is this the multimedia equivalent of the Amazon Kindle, like a size upgraded iPod Touch or is it a full-fledged MacBook geared toward music and movies? I suppose only time will tell.
