New 8.9″ Windows tablet does at least something right

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Yes, it’s another Windows tablet with mediocre specs: 8.9″ 1024×600 touchscreen, 1.2GHz VIA C7-M processor, 1GB memory. However, the attachable leather case with a built-in keyboard looks rather slick and useful. It’s something that a lot of other devices could use (sorry peeps, touch typing just doesn’t cut it for me). You can get the PC819 for a pretty hefty $471.23/€387.68 at ChinaBuye.

First tablet / MID for less than $140

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

For those who don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on some touchscreen surfing and mailing, this little device might be interesting. The 2GB HD 7″ Touch Screen WiFi Portable MID UMPC White at ChinaBuye costs only $138.26/€103.65 and like the title suggests, it has a 7″ 800×480 touchscreen, 2GB flash memory and 802.11B/G wifi,  but isn’t a UMPC. According to the description the device is able to run Windows CE 6 and Android, although it’s very unlikely that Android will be running smoothly: it’s powered by a measly 300MHz processor and comes with only 128MB RAM. Still, there are a lot of things that should be possible to do on this tablet. Use it as a cookbook in the kitchen, control your webserver via Wifi or just check your mail and play minesweeper.

Ramos T11TE unboxing video

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

What is the first thing you do when you receive a new gadget? Of course, you got to shoot one of those unboxing videos that nobody asked for but everybody loves to see. The Ramos T11TE comes in one of the ugliest boxes I’ve ever seen, but luckily the first impressions of the device are pretty good.  So far, this 5″ touchscreen PMP plays everything I throw at it, including 1080p HD videos. Not bad for a device that costs a mere $148.99/€109.73. Our friends at AllPMP even included a whole bunch of free accessories, more than listed on the product page (I received two screen protectors and a silicone case). Anyway read on to watch the unboxing video and stay tuned for the full review.
