Do you remember back by June of the year past show you a double tablet called Kno and tightly focused on the field of education? Almost everyone agreed to see closer to being a phantom gadget to be a real team. And so it has been until now is Intel and has given him a boost in the form of investment of $ 30 million.

The agreement placed in the hands of Intel hardware within, which may provide his usual companions for her manufacture, while the section of the software, which should be the basis of this tablet Kno, is still on the table of the creators of the ideathat now only should focus on developing the system to make it a reality.

The field of education, and I say this from experience in first person, is one that more likely has to factor tablet, whether it be in the hands of the teacher or the student. But the software and applications are essential. We are pleased that Intel has taken letters on the matter. To see if it is not forgotten and the investment dissolves over time, it would be a pity.

Tablets Javier Penalva on April 8, 2011 | 09: 02 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

What a consumer basically wants to be able to read in a tablet type device are interactive magazines and all its variations, but also electronic books. To little time reading and interior, a classic tablet LCD screens may be worth, but when we want little fatigue on sight and autonomy, electronic ink is a must.

The last patent that has been discovered to Apple demonstrates that in Cupertino don't forget the possibility of combining several types of display on a single device. That future tablet, if it is ever to see the light, would have a layer with touch LCD technology and the other with electronic ink. If you think that it is difficult to make, just think the work of Samsung with its transparent screens. What you see now?

In the idea of Apple, the user would not have to change technology him but that the own tablet would choose the best option dynamically according to the content that we are going to play.

As of combine LCD screen and electronic ink is not something new. Hence we have the phantom tablet Notion Ink Adam Pixel Qi technology. Who will be the first to get effectively?

Now what we imagined but here are the results of the survey I did on the right of the screen of a tablet size.

I planteábamos starting the less than 5 inches in the current superteléfonos, which logically got barely a testimonial votes. Fork ranging from 5 to 7 inches nor had little support from the xatakeros and now we have to go to higher values to see what you prefer as a screen for a tablet size.

The option less comfortable for hands, more than 10 inches, stayed in third place with 16% of the votes (more than 1,500 in total), followed by the seven exact inches, which has hosted the affection of 22% of the readers of Engadget who voted.

And the winning option, with more than 55 per cent, has been which is situated the perfect tablet with between 9 and 10-inch, just what we are seeing that mark the new Galaxy Tab of 8.9 inches or 2 Apple iPad, the two tablets of the time (one more than the present to another).

HP opal: HP will also put a 7-inch with WebOS tablet

Tablets WhisKiTo 14 March 2011 | 18: 51 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

HP TouchPad will have a little brother. You already seen it coming and little by little is confirmed, although the wait to get it in stores yet aims to be long. HP Opal is the name of development, although it is expected to change before it reaches the device to the market.

It is known that it will be 7 inches and that it will have a size of around 180 × 144 × 13 mm, perhaps a bit wide for the great competitor who stays in the 0.86 inches. The screen can be one of the strong points, because it will have higher tablet resolution but these 7 inch discussed: 1. 024 × 768. It will of course be capacitive type and we hope that also multi-touch. Can you imagine a tablet with a resistive? It would be digging its own grave, the less.

Few details are known of Opal HP apart from those who commented here. WebOS is an excellent operating system and has one of its strengths in tablet-mobile synchronization. HP is a giant, one of the most veteran and knows well to do his work, although it should not be forgotten that TouchPad is its first tablet and Opal aims to be the second. In the Tablet market no one is giving away nothing and no one is going to do in the future.

Initially expected that HP Opal is launched to the market in the month of September, but this date is not official and may be modified in the future. Its price is still completely unknown, but by reference to the rumors that put the TouchPad in the range of $500 to 600 Opal should be substantially cheaper.

Note: the header image is the current HP Touchpad, as Opal still has not been officially submitted.

They want to have it ready by the end of 2011, and according to our information the only available hardware with these characteristics is that of Nvidia. If there was any doubt about the veracity of the information, they come from the mouth of Jerry Shen, current CEO of ASUS.

Interesting to know also about tablets sales forecasts in 2012, and it is that Asus intends to fight for second place on the market, with Sony?, and estimated a percentage from 5 to 8% of the total number of tablets. If you don't want the number one is that it is already giving by fact that Apple will be front, am not so sure what will sell more tablets than Samsung.

In order to assess their developments with regard to the reference, iPad, Jerry Shen recognizes that the ecosystem and Apple's software is a step ahead, but they are going to propose more advanced hardware and screens. Like Samsung in yesterday, the leaders of the competition seem to have attacks of sincerity.

The CEO of the Taiwanese company has also commented on the design strategy of hardware that Apple is following, and is that despite being leaving him quite well, in the future we will be symptoms of weakness to proposals of NvidiaQualcomm and Texas Instruments. For him, the Google partnership with Nvidia is the smarter choice.

You will be ask, but I am sure that they will have a terminal with the new operating system from Microsoft, they will do so at that time by assessing the impact of Nokia on the platform, which all mean that it will be very positive.

In regards to Android, terminals double core are in the calendar for 2011 and four nuclei in the following. We hope to see real products in a short time rather than promises and specifications that we assume common to other manufacturers.

Finally also has informed us that they will have netbooks with MeeGooperating system, using the latest intel atomprocessors. Curious also know that they will have netbooks with Android operating system on X 86 architectures.

According to the studies of Asus, 30% of users want to have the option of the physical keyboard, as we have seen in the Eee Pad Transformer, therefore considered important to continue working in different lines of work in addition to the tablets.

The rear of the device is transparent, leaving see his powerful circuitry, composed no more and no less than by the dual-core of Samsung, 4210 Exynos. With cores based on ARM Cortex-A9 and Mali 400 GPU.

The same hardware which aired on the Smartphone of Korean Star: Samsung Galaxy SII. If we look at the benchmark Quadrant which go on to the tablet, we see that it exceeds the 2200 points, if we take into account that works with a lot more important than the Samsung Galaxy SII resolution, we can get an idea of that in the phone will be more:

The battery is 9000mAh, he has output HDMI, USB port, and 8 GB of memory internal expandable through two microSD card slots. Not all sensors have forgotten to use the Tablet business, as one of 9 axles, front and main Chamber, and a connectivity HSPA + 21Mbps movement.

By 759 dollars and will available in late March, be ready this valuable development tool, and we have to make it clear that it will not sell in the normal channels of distribution. With regards to Android, Hardkernel Odroid-A is served with Gingerbread, it initially seems a tool designed to take advantage of the SII Galaxy.

The appearance of this tablet of reference for the development, invites us to think that in addition to your phone Samsung star, have in mind taking tablets to take advantage of its new dual-core circuitry, formerly known as Orion. It also gives us clues of the resolutions to be able work with new phones and tablets without problems.

More Samsung Exynos 4210 devices use may be one of the causes which have to opt for Nvidia Tegra 2 for the Samsung Galaxy SII.
