Top 8 tablets released on MWC 2012 to challenge iPad HD

The long anticipated iPad HD (once rumored as iPad 3) is going to be unveiled today on Apple’s March 7^th event. With the excellent hardware and software updates, like the Retina display and full HD experience, again Apple has successfully made its product, this time the next generation of iPad, attract numerous eyes around the world. However, the iPad HD is not the only tablet in the tablet market people are longing for. Though the Apple iPads are still in the leading position in tablet market share, a variety of strong challengers have quickly grown up to sway the dominant position of iPads. The Kindle Fire is one of these tablets competitors. The just past MWC 2012 had brought several outstanding tablet competitors to iPad HD. More surprisingly, besides the update in hardware, some innovational elements are added in to satisfy customers’ demands, which in certain degree further shorten the difference between smartphones and tablets. Check the following content to know the strong competitive tablets released on MWC 2012 to iPad HD:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 comes with a 10.1 inch large display with 1280×800 screen resolution, really suitable for you to watch movies on Galaxy Tab tablets, featuring 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and support of Bluetooth 3.0. A 3MP camera is adopted by this tablet, which supports to operate on HSPA+ network connectivity to reach up to 21Mbps downloading speed. The long battery life is one of the advantages of Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, owning 7000mAh battery which tops among various excellent tablet options. Providing both 16GB and 32GB variants for users, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 operates with the Google Android 4.0 OS.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

The large 5.3 inch screen display with 1280×800 high screen resolution and dual-core processor Samsung Galaxy Note released last year has been a big surprise. This smartphone has been a popular device for users to watch DVD movies on Galaxy Note, but on this MWC 2012, Samsung released a new tablet named Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which makes much more sense than a 5.3-inch one if you intend on using a mobile device for note-taking or creating artwork. And contributing to that are the improvements that the S-Pen, with which the Galaxy Note 10.1 is equipped with, has undergone. The results are better input sensitivity and accuracy, which makes hand-written notes easily readable. And if that is not enough, some Adobe apps, Photoshop Touch being one of them, have been optimized for the S-Pen, which is something that artists and graphic designers are going to be happy to hear.

Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD

Quad-core processor has been the hottest topic in this MWC 2012, while Huawei dropped a big bomb to us with its awesome Ascend D quad superphone and MediaPad 10 FHD tablet. The MediaPad 10 FHD features Huawei’s own 1.5GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 10″ IPS (1920 x 1200) display, HSPA+ 21/42/84Mbps and LTE support, Dolby surround sound, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 1.3-megapixel front facing camerea, and 2GB of RAM. It is only 8.8mm thin and weighs 598g, which means it should be a burden to carry around. It will be available in the global market Q2 2012.

Acer Iconia Tab A510

The 10.1 inch Acer Iconia Tab A510 is another quad-core processor released on MWC 2012, featuring NVIDIA Tegra3 processor. The screen resolution reaches 1280×800 pixels to deliver clear pictures. Operating on Android 4.0 OS, this tablet also features 1GB RAM and dual cameras. The new processor would save battery greatly for long operation.

ASUS Padfone

ASUS officially introduces its annual highlight Padfone on MWC 2012, which combines tablet with phone, just like the Motorola Webtop. It features an incredible 4.3” smartphone featuring a Super AMOLED qHD display, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5Ghz dual core processor, Adreno 225 GPU, 1GB RAM, at least 16GB memory expansion, 8MP camera, support of 1080P HD video recording, 1520mAh battery, etc. The Station includes a 10.1 inch large screen with 1280×720 pixels resolution, Android 4.0, 6600mAh battery, etc. Together, this ASUS Padfone tablet produces excellent experience in smartphone and tablet using, like watch HD movies on ASUS Padfone. Two things would influence such kind of mobile devices. One is the user experience. The large screen display should bring more and better user experience for users. The other is price, which would directly influence target clients.

Viewsonic ViewPad 10Pro

Microsoft released Windows 8 Customer Preview version after MWC 2012. During this congress, we were surprised to see the tablet with Windows 8 OS preview version. Viewsonic displayed various tablets in different configurations, display size, and OS. The Viewsonic ViewPad 10Pro adopts Intel Atom (Oak Trail) 1.5GHz processor, 1GB/2GB optional DDR3 Ram, 32GB built-in SSD storage, 10.1 inch IPS multi-touch screen with up to 1280×800 pixels resolution, front camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and 3G connection availability.

Sony Tablet P

Sony brought people Tablet P and Tablet S during this MWC, of which Tablet P owns quite unique design, featuring dual screen displays, impressing others to be a handheld gaming machine. Sony Tablet P adopts dual screen displays in 5.5 inch (1024×480 pixels), NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GHz CPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB memory storage, 3080mAh battery, 5MP camera and Android 3.2.1 OS.

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Series

Offering both great build quality and specs, the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 700 Series immediately became one of our favorite tablets at MWC 2012. ASUS has demonstrated an incredible attention detail as far as outer appearance goes, without forgetting the specs side of things, coming up with an incredible product that we’re definitely looking forward to. Last, but not least, the 700 Series stays true to the Transformer line-up, having a beautiful keyboard dock sold alongside it. Once again, there are more than one reason to get the dock, as it will not only provide you with a full physical QWERTY, netbook-like experience, but will also increase the battery life of your device. The sad part here is that we don’t know yet when the tablet’s coming out, but are having our fingers crossed that its release is not too far away.

Top 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products details and pictures

Along with the fast development of technology in mobile phones and telecommunication devices, people have longed more for the future tech products and various high tech telecommunication companies become to upgrade their tech products faster, which enables worldwide users to experience totally different devices upon different tech products. And thanks to ZDNet Author, who has listed out some top 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products for us to make a brief understanding about these advanced tech devices. The following lists the 10 most anticipated upcoming tech products, originally released on zdnet.com.

New MacBook Airs

The new MacBook Airs with updated Intel Sandy Bridge processors Core i series processor are due to hit any day along with OS X Lion. The new Airs are rumored to to feature a high-speed Thunderbolt port and perhaps a lighted keyboard while retaining the same form factor.

Vizio XVT3D6SP series

Back in January, the Vizio XVT3D6SP series was our Best of CES winner in the TV category. On top of offering passive 3D and a full-array LED backlight with local dimming, the XVT3D6SP series is loaded with features. Here’s what editor David Katzamier had to say about it:

“The Vizio XVT3D6SP series is billed as a complement to the company’s new Android phone and tablet. It boasts a custom Google TV interface and a beefed-up version of VIA (Vizio Internet Apps), our favorite Internet TV suite of last year. It also has a spiffy new remote that replaces a trendy touch screen with a much more useful touch pad, a la your favorite laptop PC. Finally it boasts passive 3D (see below) and all of the full-array local-dimming LED goodness we liked so much on the XVT3SV series. Oh yeah: it’s also the first TV announced with embedded OnLive gaming (video).”

Samsung Nexus Prime

Rumor has it that the Samsung Nexus Prime, due out late this year, will be the first smartphone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). Here’s what Scott Webster had to say about it on a post on CNET:

“Keeping with other Pure Google experience smartphones, the Nexus Prime is expected to be devoid of any carrier customization or pre-loaded applications. Rumors also have been swirling that the first Ice Cream Sandwich handset would also be notable for another absence, physical buttons. And given that the next iteration of Android blends parts of Honeycomb and Gingerbread, it’s very possible that any 4.0+ devices could operate without hard keys.

“The “monster-sized” screen will be branded as a “Super AMOLED HD” display, matching up with previous reports of a 720p resolution. For the sake of comparison, today’s top Android smart phones feature qHD screens that operate at 960×540 resolution, whereas mid-range devices now typically run with 800×480 resolution.”

Rumor has it that the Nexus Prime (or whatever name the device ends up with) will also have a next-generation dual-core processor running ion the 1.2-1.5 GHZ range.

Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color

While the Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color isn’t a full-fledged Android tablet (with Android Market) unless you root it and install custom firmware, it is the best-selling Android-based tablet out there right now, priced at a modest $249.

Before the holiday buying season we expect that Barnes & Noble will upgrade it, perhaps as soon as late October. We doubt the design will change dramatically (if at all), but we do think it will get a faster processor and some other small but significant improvements.

Motorola Droid Bionic

The Motorola Droid Bionic is due to hit very soon and will be among the few Verizon phones to work on the carrier’s new 4G LTE network. Overall, it has impressive specs, which CNET editor Nicole Lee summarized back at CES in January (watch her first-look video):

“Aside from 4G and the dual-core processors, the Droid Bionic also has 512MB DDR2 RAM; HDMI mirroring (so you can view video on both the phone and the TV when they’re connected); 1080p video playback; 8-megapixel camera on the rear plus a front-facing VGA camera for video calls; Wi-Fi, of course; mobile Wi-Fi hot spot for up to five devices (subject to carrier fees); and since it ships with Android 2.2, the WebKit browser also plays in-browser Flash video.

Amazon touch-screen Kindle

Will Amazon put out a touch-screen Kindle? Or will it release an even more affordable non-touch model to follow up on the success of the Kindle 3? Speculation is heating up as we head into August, which is when Amazon revealed the Kindle 3 last year.

iPod touch

It doesn’t seem like there’s much more that Apple can do with the iPod Touch, but there’s talk of an added 3G option (you’ll have to pay for service) and the possibility of a jumbo Touch that might also qualify as an iPad Mini.

Sony PlayStation Vita

Sony’s next portable gaming console, the PlayStation Vita, ups the ante in terms of graphics and features. But it remains to be seen whether the $249 Vita (or $299 with 3G) will be a hit after Sony experienced such a tepid reception for the PlayStation Go.

Due to hit this fall, the Vita has built-in WiFi, dual joysticks, multitouch 5-inch OLED screen, front and rear touchpads, and front and rear cameras.

Amazon Android tablet

Rumor has it that Amazon will be releasing two new Android tablets by year’s end. The smaller model may have a 7-inch screen and be something along the lines of the Nook Color but feature a more powerful processor (and be aggressively priced). A larger 10-inch model will allegedly be designed to compete with the iPad.

Apple iPhone 5

Will the iPhone 5 have an all new design or simply retain the iPhone 4’s chassis and offer such upgrades as a faster A5 processor and improved camera? And will it be a true 4G phone? At this point, no one knows for sure but all signs point to a Fall release date for the next-generation iPhone, whatever it’s called.
