CES 2013 Video: Hands-On with the Polaroid Kids Tablet

IMG_20130108_144642

Polaroid's new Kids Tablet made an appearance at CES 2013 and I just had to try it out for myself. Tablets for kids used to be pretty disappointing devices, but now we're seeing kids tablets with some decent specs and performance. The Polaroid Kids Tablet is an example of how a device for children doesn't more »

CES 2013 Video: Come See the First XO Tablet in Action

At CES today, I stopped by Vivitar's booth to check out a new device called the XO Tablet. The XO Tablet runs customized Android software called the XO Learning System that was created by the One Laptop per Child Association. Sakar International is the first company to license this software and place it inside hardware under its Vivitar brand. This 7-inch learning tablet will…

CES 2013: Coby's new Google-certified tablets may be their best yet

At CES 2012, Coby had a lot of Android tablets. Unfortunately, quantity didn't exactly equal quality. None of Coby's tablets were certified by Google at that time, and I found the tablets to be a little sluggish. This year, Coby is back with another small army of Android tablets that received Google's blessing. The company has 10 Android tablets that come with Google's suite of apps already pre-installed. In the time I spent with these tablets, I think…

Alcatel's One Touch Idol Ultra Is The Latest Contender for The Title of World's Slimmest Smartphone

You probably didn't expect someone like Alcatel to shine at a major tech event like CES, but that's exactly what the French company has done. The One Touch Scribe X and One Touch Scribe HD LTE grabbed much of the Vegas spotlight yesterday, but that's not all Alcatel has to brag about.

The OT Idol Ultra is an equally…

Polaroid Makes The IM1836 Official, The First Android-Powered Camera With Interchangeable Lenses

polaroid-im1836

There's nothing that proves a market's strength and popularity more than the ability to always innovate, reinvent and cross different technologies, so based on that rationale you can say the Android ecosystem is close to its peak. "Phablets" and smart cameras are just two of the new niches created by Android of late, with several more »

Gigabyte has been no stranger to the initial Windows 8 tablet craze from last fall, and despite the slates not proving to be too popular, the Taiwan-based company is continuing its push. CES 2013 has even brought two new gadgets to light, dubbed S1185 and S1082. The first of the duo looks like an awfully more »

CES: Not Quite Irrelevant Yet

It seems like someone always has to throw cold water on the party. I read an article yesterday on why CES is already irrelevant. Their main argument is that the big companies, Microsoft, Google, HP, Apple, etc. either aren't present or have scaled back their presence. Okay, so the big guys aren't there. CES isn't more »

Official: Samsung ATIV Odyssey To Land On Verizon "In The Coming Weeks"

Samsung was serious when it named its mid-range Windows Phone 8 effort the Odyssey, as the elusive 4-incher has gone through a long adventurous voyage (aka odyssey) before seeing daylight. The handheld, first introduced in October 2012, is still not up for grabs, but according to Sammy officials, it's coming to Verizon in a matter more »
