Posted by NgocT on April 6th, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
The ICD Gemini is a tablet prototype that was caught on camera by Engadget. If this model does go into retail, it will definitely be a great tablet indeed!

What it has?
- 11.2″ touchscreen LCD at 1366 x 768
- NVIDIA Tegra 2.1 GHz
- Android OS
- 300 x 191 x 15.6 mm

The ICD Gemini is definitely packed with features, but to make it a true competitor out there, it needs Windows 7, then it will be a full blown computer in a tablet form.

Apple iPad – Launch Day

Posted by NgocT on April 3rd, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
The Apple iPad has been announced for a while now, but today is the launch day and so we will take a look at it while the the few and the proud have their hands all over its fingerprint-attracting surface. The cheapest model comes in at $499 and the most expensive comes in at $829.

What it has?
- 9.7″ capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display
- 1GHz Apple A4 chip
- 10-hour battery life
- 1-month standby
- 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB flash drive memory
- Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n

- GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) – optional
- 30-pin Dock connector
- A speaker and a microphone

What it needs?
There is no doubt this device is going to be powerful and smooth. But one thing that will definitely restrict its successful is the data plans – pay $15 a month for 250MB of AT&T data or $30 for unlimited. If apple puts a 4G chip in there and do $30 a month unlimited plan through Clear or Sprint or Comcast, then you are looking at a netbook killer. Throw in tethering via Wi-Fi, I would of stood in line today.

- Chipset Intel HM55
- Graphic Intel HD Graphic

What it needs?
MSI – you could of made the X360 very desirable by using SSD instead of HDD, an anti-glare screen, and the final version of Wireless N. These additions would allow the X360 to compete directly with the Adamo and Macbook Air.

What it needs?
The Samsung GO N315 will costs around $450, which is on the high end for netbooks and being a netbook means you do not need that much onboard memory. Samsung needs to swap out the HDD for a smaller sized SSD and make this netbook thinner and lighter.
