T3 Push Tablet PC Design Forwards with Medion and The Alloy

by Jay Garrett on March 15, 2010

It can’t have passed you by that Tablet puters seem to becoming de rigueur recently with the likes of iPad, Courier, Streak and even PSP Tablet, etc

Well, those gadgety lovers over at T3 have had a chat with The Alloy and Medion and together have come up with their own rather nice spin on the tablet PC.

The Akoya Smartpad, as they’ve named it, has come to shape via T3 readers and staff, Medion and the designers at The Alloy and if I’m honest – it looks rather sweet

The spec is realistic but swanky with a HD multi-touch display, a front-facing camera for video messaging, a thin carbon fibre screen protector that doubles as a stand and my favourite design item is the retractable physical keyboard.

Check out the gallery and then head over to get more info and see the video over at T3 NOW!

Dell Mini 5 Streak Tablet comes with Amazon Kindle Love

by Jay Garrett on March 10, 2010

Dell’s Mini 5 tablet, or rather the Dell Streak, seems to be squaring up to join Microsoft’s Courier and Apple’s iPad in the ring. With it’s regular tablety form I reckon Apple should be the more concerned.

The Dell Mini 5 leak reveals the ‘Streak’ moniker and as it seems to have been used since October chances are that it’s more than a codename.

So, the Android loving Streak features a 5″ WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen, capacitive buttons on the front as well as a front-facing VGA camera for video chat with a 5MP camera with autofocus on flash round back.

The leaked presentation also reveals that the device will come in an array of colours and offer the opportunity for custom skins through Dell Design Studio.

Now, Apple should be taking note that this Dell Mini 5 Streak presentation also shows that Dell has buddied up with Amazon. That means the Dell Streak will have Kindle ebook reader integration as well as Amazon MP3 and Amazon video. This makes it even with the iPad and with it’s cameras may just nudge the Streak/Mini 5 into the lead.

Are a pair of cameras enough to pull you from Apple’s iPad?

Let me know below :)
