Acer Iconia Tab A500 Now Getting Ice Cream Sandwich OS Update Earlier than Expected
It is reported yesterday that the
Acer Iconia Tab A100 tablets are getting Ice Cream Sandwich updates a bit
early, and now, it seems like the 10-inch version of the tablet will also be
updated early. Users of the Acer Iconia Tab A500 are already confirming that
their devices received Ice Cream Sandwich update ahead of time.
Basically, Android 4.0.3 wasn’t planned to start
rolling out for the tablet before the 27th, but it seems like Acer
has made the decision to proceed and release the update for most (not all)
users. If you want to check if the update is already available on your device,
just go to Settings > About.Sunday, April 22, 2012

Refurbished AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE on Sale for $199
I really like
the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 because it is not too small and not too big; it’s
just the right size. While the tablet is a superb piece of technology in its
Wi-Fi only version, AT&T went an extra mile by adding LTE capability. If it’s
okay for you to have a refurbished Galaxy Tab 8.9, then you can visit theAT&T website right now and buy the tablet for only $199.99 on a 2-year
contract or $399.99 without contract.

Low-cost Aakash Android tablet for only $44!
In the past, you have possibly
spotted a number of cheap tablet PC deals on the internet. Do you still recall
the $99 TouchPad firesale? Well, let me introduce you to an Android tablet that
is surprisingly cheap. For only $44 (yes you heard it right!), you can now own
a tablet!
Let me take you to India, a nation
where hi-tech gizmos are becoming ever so popular, despite the fact that many
of them have no or little experience of using them. That is precisely the
challenge that the Indian Ministry of Education is hoping to deal with. The
plan is to present the Android tablets to rural schools that have minimal
access to advanced technologies.
The Indian government will be buying 100,000 Aakash Android tablets
at a price of $44 each. It will then be sold to schools at a lower price tag of
$22.
Aakash Ubislate 7+ specifications:
- Processor: Conexant A8, 700MHz
- RAM: 256MB
- Storage: 2GB, but expandable to 32GB
- Display: 7-inch resistive
touch screen with 800×400 resolution

mAh)
- Operating
system: Android
2.3 Gingerbread
- Other
features: 2 USB
ports, 3.5mm jack for audio, HD video playback and streaming

7-inch Hyundai A7 Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet for only $110
We already seen
a lot of cheap Android tablets being sold in the market but this tablet has
pretty good hardware. The A7 is actually not related to the car company
Hyundai. For only $110, you get a 7-inch 480 x 800 Ice Cream Sandwich (Android
4.0) tablet. The touch screen is a 5-point capacitive multitouch.
The Hyundai A7 tablet should run
most apps and games because it features a Cortex 1.5 GHz A8 processor and a 512
MB of RAM. It also features an 8 GB of internal storage, micro-SD extra
storage, and a micro-HDMI port for watching High Definition movies on a larger
screen.
Even though the tablet’s design
is not the prettiest around, the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) OS is enough for
you not to judge its looks. The tablet has been around for more than a month
now and has lately in-stock again.

Google plans to make a Low-priced tablet
Google
is partnering with hardware makers based in Asia on a budget friendly 7-inch
tablet to challenge what Apple and Amazon.com is offering, according to a
report.
According
to Wall Street Journal and Digitimes, the hardware will be built by Asustek and
Samsung, while the software side will run Android supported by the California
Internet Giant. It is set to go against Kindle and iPad devices.
The
Asustek tablet is expected to be released on May 2012 with a competitive price
of $199. It should be an option for consumers considering the Amazon.com made
tablet called Kindle Fire, according to Digitimes.
This action by Google will
surely pressure other tablet manufacturers to lower the price of their tablet
PC’s.
