The price of the Motorola XOOM has held up pretty well considering it’s always been the most expensive Android tablet out there (ignoring the laughably priced Optimus Pad), but Motorola’s Android 3.0 device is finally starting to see some decent reductions through the online shops.
Like at Amazon, where the 32GB wi-fi model is now down to down to £404.86
…although we know you lot all prefer the charming Eee Transformer. Which is cheaper. And more up to date.
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate… Read the rest
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags… Read the rest
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good?
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest
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?
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest
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.

It also seems that Amazon have discounted the Asus – £20 off the 16GB model and £50 off the 32GB model.

/ July 26, 2011I don’t think the Transformer has anything to fear from the Tab 10.1, as after using a Transformer with a dock (keyboard), I would never even consider a tablet-only device.

/ July 26, 2011I have a Transformer too, absolutely amazing kit. The transformer is the future of tablets, in that it’s hard to justify £400 for a tablet-only device, but if it works as a netbook too, then it’s cracking value. (I sold my Windows netbook to part-fund my Asus Transformer).

/ July 26, 2011Xoom’s pretty neat, but as others have said the non-US support is lacking. Easy enough to shove US firmware on and update to 3.2 though – takes about ten minutes. Nice bit of kit, especially if it drops below the £400 mark.
