7-inch Eden Tab launches in Japan this weekend, could become the Xiaomi tablet

By posted Feb 20th 2012 8:13AM For those who've been keeping an eye on Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, you should already know that after the Xiaomi Phone's successful launches (most recently in collaboration with China Telecom), the man's been pondering over whether the Chinese tablet market is worth tapping into. Funnily enough, it turned out that during CES, Kingsoft's Japanese subsidiary Mobile In Style announced the 7-inch Eden Tab, which just so happened to be co-developed by Xiaomi and shares the same ODM, Inventec, as the Xiaomi Phone. This is no surprise considering Lei Jun also chairs both Xiaomi and Kingsoft, and the two companies have announced partnerships before; though it doesn't seem like this tablet uses the former's MIUI software. Read on to find out more.
The Android Gingerbread-powered Eden Tab -- due to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich at some point -- packs a 1.2GHz Samsung S5PC210 chip, 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, 16GB of eMMC storage, a 1,280 x 800 LCD and dual-mic. Expansion-wise you get microSD, micro-USB and HDMI mini. Of course, cameras are a given these days: there's an eight-megapixel imager with flash on the back, along with a two-megapixel one in front of you. All of this comes in a package at 330g heavy and 10.4mm thick, which just about beats the Galaxy Tab 2 that came out last week; though the latter's 4,000mAh battery does have 150mAh more than the former's.

But here's the best bit: Mobile In Style has recently announced that the WiFi version of the Eden Tab will be available for 29,800 yen ($370) starting this Saturday, and it's already accepting pre-orders with a color choice of black, white and pink. To complement its rigorous test claims (pictured below, including a 45-second water immersion test), there's also a 14-day money-back guarantee. Need built-in 3G? Well, you'll have to wait until late April. As to whether China will also get this tablet under the Xiaomi brand, Lei Jun told us personally that he's still not sure, as he'll need to see how things go in Japan first. Alternatively, diehard Xiaomi fans can simply bug Mr. Lei via weibo.

Google Docs for Android updates: adds offline support, better tablet experience

Google DocsGoogle clearly didn't want to blow everyone's mind right away with its Google Docs app for Android. That's why it's been slowly rolling out the updates, incrementally adding features and turning what began life (more or less) as a glorified web browser into a useful app. The latest upgrades deliver possibly the most requested feature -- offline access. Now there's an option to pin individual files for local storage and the app will automatically sync the latest version anytime you're on WiFi. If that's not often enough, you can manually update whenever you have a data connection. There's also a new layout for viewing docs on tablets that allows you to swipe left and right to flip between pages and a scrubber at the bottom for quickly jumping from one part of the doc to another. Hit up the Android Market now to score the update for yourself.

ZTE Optik dual-core tablet eyed up by Sprint, $100 on contract

ZTE Optik dual-core tablet eyed up by Sprint, $100 on contract

Underwhelmed by the ZTE tablet spotted yesterday? Perhaps the promise of a Honeycomb-decked seven-incher from Sprint will win your tablet hungry dollars. Advertising materials leaked over at Android Police, revealing that the previously unseen slab will arrive next month both on contract ($100) and off ($349). The 1.2GHz dual-core Optik wields a 5 megapixel camera on the back, paired with a front-facing 2 megapixel shooter, while there's a respectable chunk of storage (16GB), expandable by microSD. Although there may be more eye-opening propositions when it comes Android tabs, those on the hunt for one that won't claim a heavy chunk of your paycheck and still pack some respectable technical specs may have found an interesting new contender.

[Thanks David]

Nook Tablet bootloader bypassed, Android 4.0 takes its first steps onto the platform

By posted Jan 14th 2012 3:11AM No points for calling this one, but it looks like Android 4.0 is well on its way to the Nook Tablet -- in a decidedly unofficial manner, of course. Just a few days after the tablet's bootloader was bypassed, developer Brandon Bennet (aka Nemith) has now apparently managed to get an early version of the Android 4.0-based CyanogenMod 9 up and running on the device, although you'll still have to wait a bit longer for something that's actually useable. What's more, some other developers have also managed to get the tablet to boot from a microSD card, and there's been some progress with Ubuntu on the tablet as well. Hit the links below for all the details and the latest from the xda-developers forum.
