The iPad is setting the standard for the revived tablet market. What is it about Apple that makes these products so great? In part it is Apple dedication to user experience; but would it be argue that the larger factor in their success is Apple end-to-end control of the product. They make the hardware and the operating systems, and build the two to work in near-perfect synchronicity. A lot of CrunchGear commenters say they’re really waiting for a Windows 7 tablet to compete with the iPad, but I say they will be waiting for a long, long time: Windows 7 on the multitude of tablet hardware options will be just like Windows 7 on desktop PCs: an appeal to the lowest common denominator, thereby hobbling both hardware and OS advances. (And I actually like Windows 7, so belay the Apple fanboy comments for a moment.) But what about an Ubuntu tablet? The svelt, modular Linux kernel has breathed new life into many aging PCs, and Canonical has been working on a netbook-specific interface for Ubuntu for some time. They have multitouch support, now, too, so couldn’t they pretty quickly roll out a wonderful Ubuntu-powered tablet.
The multitouch stuff in Ubuntu is interesting in its own right, since they are developing a whole "touch language" that will allow for chaining touch sequences into sentences of complex actions. I’m actually quite excited to see how this develops, especially since the multi-touch libraries are hosted on Launchpad for public consumption and participation. More on this below.

Enter Rockchip to the arena with their promise of delivering a 3D enabled tablet device that requires no glasses to use. The nice thing about Rockchip design is that it is dual purpose, you can switch between 3D and 2D modes so you are not saddled with something trying to push a particular feature that you might not use, rather you get a tablet device that has 3D tech for when you feel it will be worth using.
The bad news is that the tablet is still in the prototype stage so chances are that it won't be making it onto a store shelf any time soon. However, Rockchip do have plans to build an Android powered tablet using this technology, the idea probably being that a bigger, more well known brand, will re-badge the tablet and sell it.
We are heard about the T-mobile G2 and saw the leaked photos but Now some Real NEWS appeared, A Printed-Sheet has leaked from T-mobile and it contains Details from some kind of T-mobile launch calendar stating that the HTC Vanguard will launch on September 29.

The rumored LG E900 was caught on highly blurry video a few days back and but now, thanks to that shot of pretty decent quality, we can finally get an idea what to expect. Still, the E900 features remains a mystery which, however, should be solved soon.
The first devices based on the Windows Phone 7 platform are expected in October so it's not strange that we spot more and more of them in the wild even if none has been officially unveiled yet. Today's addition to the list of rumored WP7 phones is the LG E900.
The LG Windows phone 7 has a slide out keyboard, and what appears to be a front facing camera, implying that this might be a European market model. and the main specs are:

In an interview with theWSJ, LG's VP of Marketing made the bold statement that "our tablet will be better than the iPad." Why so confident, LG? It's "going to be surprisingly productive," apparently.
After all, it's not the first time we've heard a company exec state on paper that their product is better than the iPhone/iPad/sliced bread. But to follow up a claim like that with the tease of content-creating features, such as document, video and photo-editing leaves me feeling a little dry.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a tablet that can handle a video editing suite, or something like Photoshop for tinkering with photos. But when LG's tablet is expected to run on Android, it's going to have a tough time distinguishing it from other Android tablets. They'll have to pump it with quad-core chips and slap at least a couple of USB ports on there to live up to those claims.
You have probably heard that T-Mobile USA are running a teaser site for their mysterious upcoming Android smartphone the G2. These are the first shots of the device and we gotta say that for something that was supposed to continue the revolution started by its predecessor, it does look quite dull.
See the Photos and it might be quite blurry a little but it shows the Shape and the Design of the Phone and thats all we Need right Now...Stay tuned for Upcoming Specs!
The Huge Company HP responded to a question about whether or not tablets (read: iPad) were hurting netbook sales. In reponse, HP publicly confirmed that a webOS Tablet is coming in the timeline we were expecting, saying they will release "a webOS-based product in Early 2011." Hearing that in an investor call is quite a bit nicer than hearing it was said in an HP all-hands meeting.
