To compete with devices like the iPad and Transformer Prime, Research In Motion seems to believe that all its PlayBook really needs is a little LTE love. The company promised an upgraded version of its misunderstood tablet would hit sometime this year, and an FCC filing suggests its arrival is all but imminent. We saw

Figures like this never cease to amaze me. According to ad network and data analytics firm Chitika, Apple’s iPad accounts for 94.64 percent of all tablet Web traffic. The second closest, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, represented only 1.22 percent. That’s like going to a buffet but only eating a bread crumb. Way to eat all the

The Galaxy S III hits later this month but you can start collecting your fleet of Samsung products early by preordering the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 now. The tablet went up for presale on Friday for $399, with availability set for Sunday, May 13. While it doesn’t quite pack the quad-core power of a Transformer Prime

Jon R is back to tackle more questions and queries from Buffalo readers, viewers and fans! In this episode, Jon shares his thoughts on the mythical rumored beast that is the iPad mini! Jon only sheds some light on the best Android tablet(s) available on the current market, as well as some clarification on the

Five months ago, the Asus’ Transformer Prime was hotter than Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games. Not only was the tablet fast, sleek, and well built; it was the first device that made consumers question the iPad’s dominance. (And did we mention it came with Nvidia’s much hyped Tegra 3 chip?) In a nutshell, the Prime finally

Remember that free GPS dongle that Asus was offering to Transformer Prime users who have been experiencing GPS issues with their tablet? Well, unless you live in the United States, Taiwan, or certain parts of Europe, you won’t be receiving one. You see, Asus is only offering the dongle to customers who purchased the device

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Pictures have surfaced of Asus’s solution to the Transformer Prime’s nagging GPS issues, and the dongle reminds me of a Headcrab from Half-Life. It’s not only large, it’s also intrusive. Asus’s so-called GPS fix actually blocks the tablet’s dock connector, which means you can’t charge the device while the dongle

We first got word of Asus’ Transformer Pad 300 tablet back at Mobile World Congress, and it seems the device’s time has finally come to hit consumer waters. Asus on Friday revealed to PCWorld that the late is ready to start shipping in the U.S. on April 22, though no price point was shared. An

Despite being a terrific tablet for the most part, the Asus Transformer Prime has had its fair share of issues since its release. One of the most problematic is its inability to find global positioning satellites with its built-in GPS. Asus has released a number of over-their-air software updates in a bid to resolve the problem in

Hasbro’s suit against Asus’ Transformer Prime tablet has been dismissed. The toymaker filed a lawsuit against Asus late last year alleging the Tegra 3 tablet would confuse consumers into believing the device was produced by Hasbro. But Hasbro failed to convince the court, and the judge ruled that “there is nothing gimmicky about the Eee

Jon R. is back to tackle more questions and queries from Buffalo readers, viewers and fans! In this episode, Jon shares what he thinks the “new iPhone” (aka the iPhone 5) will have. Jon also provides some buyer’s tips for both the tablet and mobile space. Not to mention he’ll be boogying down to Dance

Sure the new iPad runs a little warmer than its older brother, but it sounds like the issue is being blown way out of proportion. On the heels of multiple reports suggesting the device is too hot to handle, including one from Consumer Reports, Wired investigated that matter by performing tests of its own. The

The new iPad has arrived, and somewhere out there, in the shadow of Apple’s growing profile, lies the competition. Competition that, quite frankly, has been unable to challenge the iPad’s dominance. Some are comparable in specs, like the Transformer Prime, while some are not, like the 7-inch Kindle Fire. Apple has introduced a “Resolutionary” upgrade

With all the fervor surrounding quad-core this and quad-core that, Apple’s A5 iPad 2 has begun to look a little long in the tooth, especially against the Asus Transformer Prime. Certainly, that doesn’t mean Apple’s tablet isn’t selling like hot cakes – in the last quarter alone, Apple managed to sell 15.5 million iPads worldwide. Still,

First impressions of the Asus PadFone suggest it has been well worth its lengthy wait. The device, which transforms between smartphone, tablet, and notebook thanks to some very impressive accessories, was one of the most exciting gadgets on show at this year’s Mobile World Congress, and it won’t be long before you can pick one

If you’ve ever held a tablet and thought to yourself, “I wish this had dual-screens,” Sony is introducing something that’s right up your alley. Instead of releasing a me-too device, the Japanese company’s maverick approach with its Tablet P is sure to turn some heads – though whether that’s a good thing or bad thing

You can go for the do-it-all PadFone, or you could opt for all new offerings in Asus’ Transformer Pad lineup. Yes, plural. The company just unveiled two very distinct models in front of an eager crowd here in Barcelona – Asus Transformer Infinity series and Asus Transformer 300 – and both look like they’ll make

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,”

To the delight of many, Asus has made good on its promise by releasing a bootloader unlocking tool for the Transformer Prime. The company on Wednesday made all the pertinent files and documentation available on its website, although Asus strongly warned installing the bootloader would void the original warranty. “It is strongly advised that you

It looks like Asus may have over promised when it said Ice Cream Sandwich would be hitting the original Transformer in early February. In fact, owners may have to wait as long as March, as Asus made a statement on its Singapore Facebook page saying the Android update is being pushed back, although no reasons

One of the first things new tablet owners do is peruse their respective OS’s app store. Whether you’re partial to iOS, Android or Windows Phone, there are thousands and thousands of worthy apps that sets the tablet experience apart from its PC and smartphone counterparts. I think it’s fun to see what’s on other people’s

British retailer Clove.co.uk has ceased sales of the Asus Transformer Prime tablet until further notice due to “complaints of faults.” The tablet is the first device to ship with NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor, but it has been plagued by issues with W-Fi and GPS performance, as well as random reboots under the Ice Cream

Despite being the world’s first tablet to ship with a quad-core processor, the Asus Transformer Prime has been quite a disappointment to early adopters thus far. In addition to issues with Wi-Fi and GPS performance, many have been disgruntled with its locked bootloader, and “random lockups” under the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich update. But

While it may have issues with Wi-Fi and GPS performance, these little niggles aren’t the main reason why many Transformer Prime adopters are unhappy with their new tablet. It also has a locked bootloader, which prevents users from performing their own tweaks and customizations to its Android operating system. The decision to ship the quad-core

While it may have been one of the most exciting tablets to launch since the first iPad, the Asus Transformer Prime hasn’t been without its teething problems. The 10.1-inch slate is the first device to feature NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor, but unfortunately that has been accompanied by issues with its Wi-Fi and GPS. Asus
