Yesterday evening a few American sites have published a photo on display with the label price and features of the tablet Iconia Tab A100 . I remember that this model, presented in Italy, has been postponed a few weeks (but officially there is no news) because of problems in adapting to its Android Honeycomb 7-inch screen, and it was not the only one to report something Similarly, because we have yet to see a tablet of this size in stores.

Ever heard of Arnova before? Perhaps only for some of you, as this is a Chinese-based manufacturer who will be playing a role in the budget Android-tablet market with their Arnova 7 device. Priced at a highly affordable £99, the Arnova 7 will be made available from Asda and Comet from June onwards. Designed by Archos of France, it will run on Android 2.2 Froyo – which should be a disappointment for some since tablet owners are looking forward for the specially optimized Android 3.0 Honeycomb (and above) version of the operating system. Still, one thing you cannot take away from the Arnova 7 – its super low price point.
Heck, this might even be the cheapest 7″ tablet to date that runs on Android 2.2 Froyo. Featuring a 7″ resistive touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, the tablet measures a mere 12mm thin, tipping the scales at 340 grams. For those who feel that this isn’t good enough for their needs, there is confirmation that the Arnova 8 tablet is in the works, sporting a more generous 8.4″ display at a higher 800 x 600 resolution, where you will need to fork out another £30.
Disappointingly, the Arnova 8 will run on Android 2.1 Éclair – that doesn’t make sense, really.

Lenovo still hasn’t officially confirmed it, but all signs are pointing to an imminent US launch of its Android-based IdeaPad K1 tablet. It just hit the FCC under the “K1″ moniker earlier this month, and it’s now gotten a full blown listing on Buy.com, complete with specs and some pictures that show off Lenovo’s “custom-built Android interface.” Those specs include a 10.1-inch display, a Tegra 2 processor (not a Snapdragon as we had seen on the LePad), 32GB of storage, dual cameras (5 megapixel rear and 2 megapixel front-facing), a microSD card slot, a micro HDMI out, and even a SIM card slot — somewhat notably it’s also listed as coming with Netflix pre-installed. While most of those specs seem like a safe bet, others apparently aren’t quite set in stone, the listing alternatively mentions both Android 3.0 and Android 3.1, for instance, and both a 1280 x 720 and 1280 x 800 resolution (though the latter seems likely). What’s more, while Buy.com isn’t providing a price just yet, the tablet has also hit Krex Computers of all places, where it’s listed at $510. Hit up the gallery below for a closer look.

At the moment, the HTC Sensation is available in just a few markets, and only via select carriers: Vodafone is selling it in the UK, SFR in France, and SK Telecom in South Korea.
The smartphone can’t be bought unlocked yet, but customers will probably be able to do it starting next month. Unsurprising, you’ll have to pay a lot to get yourself an unlocked Sensation.
In Germany, Amazon lists the HTC Sensation at €600.60 (without providing a launch date).
In Italy, Media World shows a similar price (€599), also without saying when the handset will be available.
In the UK, Clove is the only retailer that lists the price of the Sensation (or at least the only one I’ve found): £498 including VAT, which means about €575. Clove lets you pre-order the handset right away, mentioning that the first stock is “due to arrive on June 27.”
The prices of the HTC Sensation will likely be lowered as the handset becomes available in more and more markets. Of course, you can always wait for a local carrier to start offering it subsidized.

So you still can’t stun ‘em in a pair of Haus of Gaga-designed camera glasses, but the Polaroid GL10 instant mobile printer is now officially available for pre-order — and rumored to be making an early debut in the men’s accessories section at Bloomingdale’s in NYC. The first of the pop star’s Grey Label devices to make it to market, the GL10 connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to smartphones (including Android, Blackberry, and Windows phones) and via USB to computers and digital cameras. The little thing weighs 15 ounces, prints 3 x 4-inch classic Polaroid-style or full bleed prints, and boasts a Li-ion battery apparently capable of spitting out 35 photos per charge. Now you can make a real gallery of all those “this is my lunch” pictures you’ve been forcing on your Facebook friends for the past few years — that is, if you’re willing to drop $170 for a surprisingly understated celebrity-backed photo printer.

HTC’s 10-inch ‘Puccini’ Honeycomb tablet still rumored for summer release — Engadget
What would a morning be without a little injection of rumorjuice courtesy of DigiTimes? Today’s tattle has HTC’s 10.1-inch LTE “Puccini” tablet hitting mass production in June with AU Optronics and Wintek pegged as the touch panel suppliers. Other specs, like the 1.5GHz MSM8660 processor and Android 3.0.1 build, seem to have been culled from that 911sniper leak which DigiTimes graciously cites as “sources in the supply chain.” Of course, the June date has been tossed around before by DigiTimes but it’s good to hear it again so close to the 10-incher’s rumored summer release.

Hope you all have had a great day and even better night! Cheers!
