We’ve taken it upon ourselves to document all the weird Android tablets out there, and one range that looks quite promising is the Slate 5″ and 8″ Android machines from UK-based manufacturer View Quest.
And by “promising” we mean “cheap” – the 5″ Slate 5 model is listed on View Quest’s site as arriving with a £149 price tag attached to it, while the Slate 8 is down as £199. Here’s a lady with nice fingernails having a demonstration of both models:
Neither version appears to be on sale anywhere yet, so we’ll let you know when it launches. There’s probably a boat load of them coming in from China at this very moment.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

I almost stopped watching at that point. (although there’s some nice looking hands in that video!)

Well, thats another one I’m not going to buy then.
10 out of 10 for those nails, 4 out of 10 for the tablet.
