can, Android 3.1 added support for generic keyboard and mouse thru USB (i think?) and BT...

Samsung sells their own BT keyboard as well, 150 euro...

will be demo-ed in Computex, 30 May...

Toshiba Thrive popped out again on a e-tailer list before being pulled down again...

8GB for US$449, 32GB for US$579...



juz a recap, besides the normal Tegra 2, 1GB RAM, 10.1" monitor and Honeycomb, Thrive has full SD card support, full HDMI port and full USB port, which set it apart from other HC tabs...

Galaxy Tab to ship with Android 3.1 at launch...

Added on May 26, 2011, 8:02 amAcer has pushed back the launch date of Iconia A100 to late August/early September, citing that there's restriction in Honeycomb to work with only 1280x800 (A100 is 1024x600)... top this off with monitor size on Honeycomb not being on top of the priority list of Google...

but the interesting thing is, HTC claims that Flyer (also 1024x600) will be updated to Honeycomb "shortly after launch"...

so who's telling the truth? only time will tell...

Transformer owners rejoice, seems like Android 3.1 and new firmware for the dock will land on ur tablet earliest next week...

Android 3.1 for Transformer has been leaked here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/05/28/do...oid-3-1-update/

HTC Flyer? then juz wait for Honeycomb to come in the mean time...

tonnes of news with Computex happening...

first up, Nvidia demo-ed the graphic and physics performance of the 4 core + 12SP Kal-El...

do note that this is still a test built and Nvidia claims that the production model will run 25-30% faster...

a point of interest is at 2:05 when 2 of the 4 cores were disabled...

remember the Asus phone/tablet tag team? it's official... called the Asus Padfone

it's a 4.3" Gingerbread phone + 10.1" Honeycomb tablet... there's a slot on the back of the tablet to dock the phone into it

another 7" tablet after HTC Flyer, the Asus Eee Pad MeMo 3D

similar to Flyer (to the pt of stylus), except that MeMo runs Honeycomb at launch and has a resolution of 1280x800... turn it into the landscape mode and u will ve a glass-free 3D mode to play with...




also featured is MeMIC (pronounced as me-mike), which is a bluetooth remote control + headset to make calls with, so that u dun ve to slap the 7" tablet onto ur face to make calls...



no price or launch date available yet...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/30/asus-ee...3d-ips-display/

if HTC and Asus are not ur cup of tea, here's another 7" tablet, the ViewSonic ViewPad 7x

hardware is pretty much standard, 1GHz Tegra 2 processor under its hood, along with a 7 inch, 1024×600 display, HDMI out, microUSB, and support for HSPA+



but if u want to mix Windows with Android, ViewSonic has 1 for u too: the ViewPad 10Pro



this is an Intel Oak Trail based tablet, but u get FroYo instead of Honeycomb, as the Android environment is wholly virtualized in Windows... so u get some performance drop, and no access to Android Market as well...
