Dell Looking Glass tablet : Tegra 2, coming your way in November

It was already rumoured that Dell was working on larger tablets, and tonight's huge leak brought us tons of info on the Looking Glass, a seven-inch big brother to the Streak 5 that's due out in November.

For starters, it's running Android 2.1 on a Tegra 2 processor, with an optional TV tuner module so you can watch ATSC or DVB-T programming on the seven-inch 800x480 display -- the same resolution as the Streak.

RAM is pegged at 4GB, with another 4GB of flash for storage and an SDHC slot for up to 32GB of expansion, and there's a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Dell's 7-inch and 10-inch Streak tablets leaked

It looks as if a 7-inch and 10-inch Dell Streak tablet is on the horizon. Apparently the "coming soon" we heard earlier regarding the Aero's release date on AT&T really means "June."

Later this "summer," the phone will be joined by the Streak 5 for those who prefer a more capable mobile. As for the 7-inch Streak? Look for it to launch (presumably with or without AT&T support) late in 2010, while a 10-inch flavor follows in "early 2011."

NTT's Hikari iFrame: Japan gets Android-powered, inexpensive tablet PC

NTT in Japan has just unveiled the Hikari iFrame, an Android tablet with an accessible price point. The device is also used as a digital picture frame and it comes with a 7 inch touch panel display, an SD memory card slot, a speaker and a USB port.

The device features a 7-inch touch-panel display, an internal battery, a speaker, an alarm clock, a USB port and an SD memory card slot. And yes, it can be used to access the web via Wi-Fi. In an attempt to appeal to casual web users, NTT East says it will make heavy use of widgets that just need to be tapped to display various content like the weather, recipes, or the latest news.

The Hikari iFrame will be released in Japan only (initially, at least) in the first half of fiscal 2010, which under the Japanese system means sometime between April and September next year. It will cost between $220 and $330, with NTT East saying the use of Android as the OS resulted in reducing costs by 20-30% per unit.





Here's a video showing the tablet in action:

ASUS Eee Pad Tegra 2 tablet pictured @ CES

ASUS made little fanfare about their EeePC Touch Series Tablet at CES 2010, leaving it hidden away in a cabinet at NVIDIA’s booth, but the latest rumors suggest that they’ll be unfurling the banners for it at Computex 2010 in June.

According to industry sources, the tablet will be known as the Eee Pad and it will use NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset.

Otherwise details are scarce, though ASUS is believed to have awarded the manufacturing contract to Pegatron.

Prowave Android Tablet powered by Freescale

This is a cool looking Android Tablet running a customized Android user interface powered by the Freescale i.MX515 processor. It is manufactured by a Chinese OEM in Shanghai called Prowave.

Connectivity includes WiFi and 3G, together with a USB port and an integrated webcam, and Mastone have customized the standard Android UI with a number of new apps and widgets; some of those were in Chinese language only, however, so we couldn’t really tell what they did.

Performance was fair and build quality was very high, with a brushed metal body and solid feeling buttons, and only the resistive touchscreen proved a mild disappointment (since we’d like to have seen a capacitive panel).

Still, we’re guessing that will help Mastone keep the Prowave price down; so far we don’t know what that price will be, though given Freescale have said that their reference design could come in at around $200 we’re hoping for a similar level for this tablet.

Dell announces the Mini 5 Android tablet device

Dell's 5-inch Internet tablet is to be called the Dell Mini 5 according to the company, suggesting that it will fit in its portable products range as the second handset to follow the Dell Mini 3 and slot in under the "Mini" range of netbooks.

Dell told Pocket-lint the news at an exclusive round table event with a handful of journalists at its suite in the Palm's hotel in Las Vegas.

The phone-come-Internet tablet (announced at CES at the Dell press conference on Wednesday) has yet to get a launch date, or in typical Dell teaser style, any tech spec details.

Through further conversations with Dell we've also found out that the new Dell Mini 5 will feature a SIM card slot for use outside of a Wi-Fi hotspot.

It will be available in a range of colours including pink and black, not just the red that we saw at the launch. The prototype version we had played with was running Android version 1.6.

It will sport 2 cameras, one 5-megapixel offering on the back and a forward facing one on the front.

It will boast a multitouch display and it will ship with a headset.
