Photos of Dell's Android Powered iPad Look-Alikes Leak



With the iPad being a hot topic, many competitors are looking to rush tablet designs to the market. Microsoft has their much talked about Courier journal-style design. Amazon and Google are also reportedly cooking up tablet devices as well.



One set of tablets that have flown mostly under the radar are Dell's upcoming designs. Dell, currently the third largest computer manufacturer in the U.S., behind HP and Lenovo, is looking to get back on the ball with a trio of tablets.

Recently leaked photos from Dell reveal the Streak tablets to be very sleek and very iPad-like.


The tablets are reportedly called the Streak series. A 5-in. Streak 5 (formerly known as the Mini 5) will reportedly launch with Dell's Aero smart phone on the AT&T network in June. The Streak series, like the Aero, will be powered by Google's Android smart phone and MID operating system.

The 7-in. Streak 7 will arrive late this year and the 10-in. Streak 10 will arrive in "early 2011."

The striking visual similarities between the Streak series and the iPad are hard to miss (the Streak series does have 3 buttons on the front frame face, rather than just one). That surely gives Apple's legal team cause to salivate, but probably makes Apple's sales team a bit unnerved. After all, by the looks of it Apple isn't going to be the only one with a sleek tablet design for very long. Let's just hope Dell takes time to quality test the Streak series thoroughly so it can avoid theheat and Wi-Fi issues that have plagued the iPad.

Verizon's successor to the Droid could be the best Android phone yet


Verizon\'s successor to the Droid could be the best Android phone yet

Verizon has been something of the odd-network-out as it doesn't carry either the iPhone — which is constantly rumored to be coming to the carrier — or the Nexus One (though Verizon is in the cards to get Google's "superphone," too).

Well, now it's Verizon's time to shine thanks to the coming of the humbly-named HTC Droid Incredible, which is set to hit stores April 29th. Verizon carried the original Droid and now, with the Incredible, it's got a phone that's on the same level as the Nexus One.

The Incredible has the same 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor as the Nexus One, a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen display, runs Android 2.1, an 8 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash, and has integrated GPS and wireless.

It's all yours for $200 (with a contract, most likely), and the HTC Droid Incredible will be ready for preorder this Monday.

Another Android 55″ LCD TV

One of the best things about Android is its ability to power a variety of different things. We have seen it on everything from kitchen appliances , watches and now there televisions. This is the second Android powered television that we have seen, Google has plans of introducing their own Android-based television.

This television will make its way to 10 different countries including in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Australia, and Dubai. Unfortunately the US is not on the list, I’m sure it will make its way here through other means. This TV is designed by NCPG in Korea. This TV has an ARM processor running at 833MHz Cortex 8A, USB, HDMI, S-Video port, D-Sub, DVI, and Component. It’s also has a backlit LED, 120HZ and will feature Android 1.5. If you remember, the last television has 1.6 so the television market is fragmented as well(pun). This TV supports ATSC / DVB-T / DVB-C / DVB-T HD Analog and will come in 42”, 55”and 47”.

Google Developing Tablet to Take on iPad


Google CEO Eric Schmidt has confirmed that his company is developing a tablet device based on theAndroid operating system, according to friends that spoke to the executive at a recent event in Los Angeles. The New York Times reports that Google has “been working with several hardware manufacturers,” and “hopes to make its own apps marketplace available for new slate-like devices.”


Although Google is yet to publicly announce such a device, many signs point to its likely launch. For starters, Google has been rumored to be developing a slate device with HTC – the same company it brought Nexus One to market with – since January. Moreover, the company has already announced plans for an e-book storeexpected to launch within the next few months.

It’s also clear that Google has plans for Android that go way beyond phones. There’s already an Android-powered car on the way, as well as plans for what’s being called “Google TV.” While Chrome OS for netbooksis also expected by year-end (and there are rumored Chrome tablets too), an Android tablet now seems imminent.

A move into tablet devices would also further Google’s growing competition with Apple, who just released theiPad. Many other companies are also expected to join the tablet race this year, and just last week, it was reported that Nokia was developing its own device.

Are you excited about the prospects of a Google tablet? Let us know in the comments.

Sebulan Tambah 9.300 Aplikasi, Android Kian Panas


Jakarta - Gelontoran aplikasi pendukung yang berjalan di platform mobile Android terus berdatangan tanpa henti. Pada bulan Maret saja, lebih dari 9.300 aplikasi membanjiri dan siap diunduh user.

Menurut data Androlib, kasak-kusuk membanjirnya aplikasi Android sejatinya sudah terasa sejak awal 2010 lalu. Sebab, baru juga awal tahun namun sudah ada sekitar 20.000 aplikasi yang menghampiri.

Kini, aplikasi tersebut terus berdatangan dengan menyentuh angka 42.000 aplikasi, setelah ada penambahan 9.308 aplikasi di bulan Maret dan 5.532 aplikasi di Februari.

Sementara untuk bulan April yang baru saja menginjak belasan hari juga mencatat hasil yang tak kalah banyaknya, yakni 2.230 aplikasi. Jadi bisa saja rekor gelontoran Android di bulan Maret terpecahkan.

Dikutip detikINET dari Information Week, Senin (12/4/2010), jumlah aplikasi pendukung Android saat ini memang masih kalah jauh ketimbang yang dimiliki Apple dengan 140.000 aplikasi dan didapuk sebagai pemimpin pasar.

Namun tetap saja, untuk ukuran pemain baru, geliat Android patut diwaspadai para pemain lama macam Apple (iPhone, iPod Touch, dan iPad), RIM dengan BlackBerry, serta Nokia dengan Ovi Store-nya.

Sebab ibarat mesin mobil balap, posisi Android saat ini tengah panas-panasnya untuk tancap gas untuk mengejar para pesaingnya. Jadi untuk ukuran menyalip dalam hal jumlah aplikasi pendukung, sepertinya tinggal menunggu waktu saja. ( ash / fyk )

Sagem Segera Rilis Ponsel Puma Android


Selain 3G, Puma Phone 2 juga mempunyai baterai yang bisa diisi ulang dengan tenaga surya.

VIVAnews - Sagem dan Puma baru-baru ini mengumumkan bahwa ponsel Android yang digarapnya dalam beberapa bulan terakhir telah "matang" dan siap diluncurkan. Kabarnya, ponsel yang diberi codename Puma Phone 2 ini, akan hadir dengan OS Android.



Banyak hal menarik yang bisa diulas dari ponsel mungil ini. Menurut rumor, suksesor Puma Phone ini tak hanya menjalankan OS Android biasa. Ia lebih bersahabat karena bisa dikustomisasi dan disesuaikan dengan selera pengguna. Selain itu, dengan OS Android, ia diharapkan mampu menyajikan akses cepat ke berita, jejaring sosial, dan membuat belanja lebih mudah.

Adanya solar panel di sisi belakang menciptakan nilai jual tersendiri untuk ponsel ini. Dengan adanya panel tersebut, pelanggan bisa mengisi ulang (charge) baterai dengan menjemurnya di bawah sinar matahari. Ini sangat memudahkan konsumen yang kesehariannya berkegiatan di luar ruangan (outdoor) atau mobilitas tinggi.

Ponsel ini menyuguhkan navigasi sentuh dan gestur pada layar capacitive touch screen-nya yang berukuran 2,8 inci (240x320 piksel). Didukung 3G dan Bluetooth, ia juga menyematkan kamera berkemampuan 3,2 megapiksel lengkap dengan lampu flash.

Kabar baiknya, banderol harga ponsel perdana besutan Sagem-Puma ini akan dijual lebih murah dari Puma Phone, yang dijual dengan harga mulai 400 euro, atau setara Rp 4,8 juta.

Perangkat baru ini diperkirakan baru akan muncul di pasaran pada 2011 mendatang. Dan, rumornya ia juga akan dipasarkan oleh beberapa merk besar yang berupaya mengekspansi segmen pelanggan.
