When the device is more widely available, consumers can pick the...
One analyst believes Google will turn its back on NVIDIA and make nice with Qualcomm for the next Nexus 7. Pacific Crest analyst Michael McConnell on Thursday claimed the search giant will favor the Snapdragon S4 Pro because Qualcomm is willing to offer a banging deal, and it has better integration with modern 3G and 4G tech.

Google and Amazon aren’t the only companies playing the how-low-can-you-go game. Toshiba, a company always hovering on the cusp of the big-time, is ready to join the fray, and its new $350 10-inch tablet isn’t skimping on specs. This might actually compete.

Following a number of leaks over the past few weeks, HTC has finally made the One X+ official this morning. In many ways, the handset is a lot like its predecessor; it sports the same polycarbonate unibody, the same 4.7-inch Super LCD display, and offers the same 1GB of RAM. But in other ways, the One X+ is a whole new smartphone. Arguably its biggest upgrade — at least in terms of...
Acer has this morning announced a new 7-inch tablet powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Google's latest Android release. It's called the Iconia Tab A110, and Acer promises it's "a tablet that you can easily hold in one hand and still lets you enjoy web browsing, multimedia, or even work if you need to." As you might expect, the A110 is taking aim at the Google Nexus 7. It's powered by a...
