We don’t often write up Kickstarter projects here at TechnoBuffalo because, well, all too often the projects don’t receive the funding required and the products never see the light of day. We’re drop-dead in love with an idea called Chameleon, however, which aims to change the Android homescreen with an entire customizable user interface that’s

Sony announced back in March that its Tablet S and Tablet P devices would receive the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update by the end of April, but nearly two months on the latter is still waiting. Sony has now confirmed that the dual-screen device will get its upgrade on May 24. That’s nearly a

If you didn’t blow all of your saving on a new HTC One smartphone yesterday, then you may like to know that Motorola’s second-generation XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition tablets are now available to purchase in the U.K. from Carphone Warehouse. First announced back in November 2011, these two slates are significantly lighter than their

Google has officially released an update for its Gmail app today, with the changelog’s primary focus on bringing the Ice Cream Sandwich experience to users that are stranded on Android 3.2 (Honeycomb). The most noticeable enhancements are the abilities to swipe to move between newer and older conversations, set custom notifications for individual labels and

I’ll bet that if you’re heading out to purchase a new tablet today, it’ll be Apple’s new iPad. But in case you’re not into iOS, how about picking up Sony’s latest Tablet S instead? A number of British retailers are slashing the price of the 16GB Android-powered slate by £100 (approx. $157) to just £299

While this news doesn’t quite have the impact of, say, Apple’s recent iPad invite, Toshiba on Wednesday announced the March 6 availability of its Excite 10 LE, a 10-inch tablet touted as “the world’s thinnest and lightest.” Measuring at just 0.3 inches and 1.18 pounds, the Android 3.2 device will arrive at U.S. retailers with

Having recently promised that the update would arrive in March, Asus has already begun rolling out its Android Ice Cream Sandwich software for the original Eee Pad Transformer tablet. The Taiwanese company confirmed on its Facebook page that the update would begin its journey in Taiwan today. Other regions will receive the update “soon after,”

Last November I reviewed Google TV 2.0, a software update pushed out to owners of Logitech and Sony GTV devices. The folks at Sony lent me a 46-inch SIT for testing purposes, and while I found the update to be a marked improvement over the GTV 1.0 software it replaced, I didn’t think it would do

The 8-inch Pantech Element tablet was leaked ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas early this month, and it’s now available to purchase on AT&T’s LTE network — with or without a contract. It boasts a waterproof design that promises to protect you from the elements, and it houses some pretty impressive specifications, including

LG has decided to take a second leap into the fierce tablet market with its new Android-powered Optimus Pad LTE slate. The company’s original Optimus Pad wasn’t exactly a huge success — largely due to its extortionate price tag — but LG is hoping its new device can turn its tablet business around. It claims to be

It seems Samsung’s new Galaxy Nexus won’t be the last of its devices to go white. The Korean company’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 tablets have been spotted in Vietnam not only with white backs, but with white fronts as well. While the device already comes in black and white variations, the front bezel

The Asus Transformer Prime has been one of our favorite tablets around TechnoBuffalo, but with the addition of Ice Cream Sandwich it’s about to get that much better.  We got some hands-on time with an updated unit at CES 2012 and just from the little amount of time we got to spend with it, it

AT&T today just announced a head-turner of a deal for tablet enthusiasts: The carrier will be offering the Pantech Element Android LTE tablet for just $299.99. When it launches (exclusively at the carrier) on January 22, this would make 4G tablet connectivity available for what’s technically a sub-$300 price, a first for AT&T (though it

The Transformer Prime was a fantastic device, one that introduced the tech-world to what a tablet of the future will be. Today, the folks over at Asus announced that very same device is getting a slight makeover slated to hit sometime in Q2 2012 in North America. According to Asus, the Transformer Prime TF700T will

Toshiba announced the new Excite X10 tablet today at CES 2012, and hopes to launch it by the middle of this quarter.  While you may be thinking, “Oh, it’s just another Honeycomb tablet,” (and it is) but you have to give it some props for its super slim form factor. The new Toshiba Excite X10

If you look at today’s tablet and immediately think, “you fat so and so,” then you’re just far too hard to please. But Toshiba may have something up its sleeve that can satisfy you. According to a post on the Japanese company’s website, it is set to announce “the world’s thinnest and lightest” 10.1-inch tablet

There’s been no shortage of tablet devices this year, and Verizon is seeing fit to say goodbye to 2011 by introducing an oddly named Honeycomb line: Xyboard. How the honchos at Big Red ever thought the name would catch on, we’ll never know. In a market dominated by the iPad and Kindle Fire, out comes

If you didn’t wake up to that tablet you were hoping for on Christmas Day, then now seems like the perfect time to buy your own if you’re living in the U.K. British retailers have been slashing the price of tablets that have been struggling in recent months, with the HTC Flyer reduced to £199.99

Come January, the Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire won’t be the only  Android tablets on the market in the $200 range. Archos announced on Tuesday the Archos 70b IT, an Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) tablet that’ll run $199 with 8GB of storage. With a 1.2GHz processor and 1024×600 resolution capacitive touch screen, users will have access

Asus has just made this Christmas for Android fans in the U.K., who are aching to get their hands on the quad-core Eee Pad Transformer Prime, by announcing that pre-orders for the device are now available in the U.K., with shipping scheduled to begin in January. It appears that only the 32GB Wi-Fi model will

Popped onto my TV for a moment, and lo and behold — the long-awaited Google TV 2.0 update has finally found its way to my Logitech Revue! I loaded it up, and the first order of business was downloading the Plex app from the Android Market. Next, I tooled around a bit, checking out the interface

Another day, another email from Logitech. If you’re among the Logitech Revue users losing hope of ever seeing Android grace our set top boxes (like I am), then note that the company has sent a second email telling us to hold on — the Google TV 2.0 software is on the way. The message promises

While the iPad will always receive its fair share of media coverage, no tablet has been anticipated more in 2011 than the Transformer Prime. On paper, the device’s specs are a tech-lover’s dream: Nvidia’s new Tegra 3 quad-core processor, an incredible 10.1″ Super IPS+ display, estimated 12 hours of battery (18 hours with dock), 8

Great news if you’re an HTC Flyer user: the Taiwanese smartphone giant has announced that its 7-inch tablet will finally be blessed with the Android 3.2 Honeycomb update today — if it’s a GSM model. The update will make its way to users in Europe first, and will then rollout to those the world over

Following a leaked video that was circulated earlier this week, showing off the unannounced Acer Iconia Tab A200, the company has issued a press release making the new Android tablet official. It looks to be a pretty impressive device, but don’t expect it to give the Asus Transformer Prime a run for its money. What
