Earlier we heard that Samsung had quietly upgraded the hardware on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Reports are coming in that the upgraded hardware isn’t the only change Samsung have made to the Galaxy Note 10.1.

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 10.1, like the 5″ Galaxy Note smartphone, the tablet version was announced as coming with the S-Pen. Unlike the smartphone however, there was no where to store the S-Pen. With the redesigned Galaxy Note 10.1, Samsung have included a slot to store the S-Pen, meaning you can use it where ever you take the Galaxy Note 10.1, without having to remember to bring the S-Pen with you, or find somewhere for it which in turn will mean there’s less chance of loosing it as well.

In order to make sure there was somewhere for the stylus to fit however, Samsung have slimmed down the S-Pen. For those of you who were interested in a larger S-Pen however, Samsung will be offering “holder kits” for the larger S-Pen.

It seems that Samsung have quietly upgraded the hardware in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

When announced, Samsung revealed the Galaxy Note 10.1 had a 1.4GHz dual core processor but, a bench test indicates that the Galaxy Tab now sports a quad core processor. Reports indicate that the quad core processor is the same one that Samsung have used in the recently announced quad core Samsung Galaxy S3 Android smartphone.

There’s no word on pricing yet for the Galaxy Note 10.1 or release information as of yet but, hopefully it shouldn’t be long until we see the improved Galaxy Note 10.1 released.

Another tablet is expected to arrive for the Verizon Wireless network. The ZTE V66 slate is anticipated to be available in the network company, yet there were no official announcements made. But then now, the tablet has already visited the FCC website, which means that the device will finally be available soon in Verizon.

A limited technical data is all you can find in the FCC listing, but the documents about the ZTE V66 are fine evidences that the availability news was already confirmed. The tablet will support the CDMA and LTE wireless networks plus an 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity and integrated Bluetooth.

The ZTE V66 is a 7-incher tablet boasting a standard 1280 x 800 pixel resolution display. It carries a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor plus features a built-in camera.

Actually, this is the second time to showcase the ZTE V66 in the FCC website. But that time, the site only gives less information then. Nonetheless, with the recent data that was given for the public sight, an assurance of a new tablet was really coming in the US in a short while.

It’s actually regarding the execution of the Intel Celeron chips rather, instead of the standard Atom processors for these sets of computers. And yet, another confirmation has been seeing through concerning this news thru the appearance of a Samsung Chromebook just recently.

TigerDirect seems to unintentionally sell a unit of Celeron-powered Samsung Chromebook several days prior the removal of its product listing. After sometime, a new Samsung Chromebook has showed again at Newegg with a name of ‘Edison XE550C22-H01US’. However, the product listing for this device was also removed abruptly.

The UX32A uses hybrid hard drives, while the UX31A uses SSD. The UX32VD differs to the UX31A as it has an NVIDIA GT 620M GPU but, apart from that they are pretty much identical. The 13 inch models will start at $999 but, as of yet there is no pricing information for the 11 inch UX21A but, we do know that there will be two different configuration models.

Asus have made it super easy to unlock the bootloader on the Transformer Pad 300. The Transformer Prime was the first Asus Android tablet to receive an official bootloader unlocked and Asus have continued the trend with the bootloader unlock tool for the Pad 300.

Even though it is an official bootloader unlocking tool, doing so does still void your warranty and you won’t be able to update your tablet the official way. If that doesn’t phase you though, head on over to the download page for the Asus Transformer Pad 300 bootloader unlock tool here, complete with instructions on how to unlock the bootloader of your Pad 300.

The Acer Iconia Tab A700 has already made its appearance at the FCC website, which likely means that it is only a short matter of time before it hits the market, possibly this summer.

An earlier model of device was previewed during CES last January, packed with a 10-inch screen with a high resolution display of 1920 x 1200 pixels, and with support for 1080p video playback. The device came with a 1.3 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 SoC quad core processor along with a full gigabyte of RAM. A customized version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the Operating System of the device.

It also has HDMI, micro-USB ports, and a micro USB slot. It is unknown, however, whether Acer will stick with these specifications for the current model. After the CES preview, Acer has kept rather silent about the device. The FCC website doesn’t reveal anything about the device, either, except that it will have Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Acer Iconia Tab A700 is expected to be more expensive than previous models, like the Acer Iconia Tab A510, which retails at $449, and the Acer Iconia Tab A200, which costs $299. However, Acer has not announced anything regarding its pricing.

The new iPad mini is rumored to have G/F2 thin-film touch technology, which will make the device thinner than the most recent iPad. This technology will also reduce costs for Apple, allowing the company to sell the device at a lower price.

As compared to the older G/F/F or glass/film/film layout found in previous iPad models, this new technology subtracts one layer. The G/F2 structure designates the electrode on the top and bottom of the ITO film, which is later laminated onto glass.

This technology also gives the iPad mini a higher level of transparency as well as a good level of sensitivity, despite earlier skeptics saying that the latter is difficult.

Apple’s chosen supplier for the materials is Nitto, while Nissha Printing and TPK are tasked to manufacture the touch displays.

The G/F2 thin-film touch technology joins the list of much-awaited features for the iPad mini, including a 7.85 inch Retina Display with a resolution of 2048 × 1536. It is also expected to come with 8GB of storage, and possibly, the new Apple new iOS 6 as well as Siri, Apple’s famous virtual assistant.

With Apple’s great influence on the tablet market, these specifications will undoubtedly set the bar higher for future 7-inch products.
