Asus and Samsung planning new tablet drive

Young Businessman on Phone

I believe that two major manufacturers, Asus and Samsung, have both decided independently to focus their energies on persuading smartphone owners to buy a tablet device.

The Toshiba AT200 tablet, which the Japanese corporation says is the thinnest of its type, is coming to Britain soon and will be available from Carphone Warehouse.  The ten-inch tablet is supposed to be just 7.7 millimetres thick.  It’s also supposed to feature a brushed aluminium casing, which I believe has raised a few pleasant [...]

Asus announced recently that it is upgrading its Transformer Prime TF700T.  Nothing new in that I hear you say, but strangely the company only very recently released the original version, which itself goes on sale this month.

The latter also has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU. The Tegra 2, I believe, allows users to search the web as well as play games faster. You can [...]
