Ematic eGlide Prism 7 Inch ICS Android Tablet Launched For $160

Ematic have unveiled their new eGlide Prism 7 inch Android tablet this week, which is now available for around $160. The Ematic eGlide Prism runs Google’s latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system, but is equipped with only a single-core 1 GHz processor and 8 GB of Flash memory and has a 7-inch (800×480) capactive LCD screen.

However the eGlide Prism is also fitted with a built-in 3-axis gyroscope combined with an accelerometer, and measures just 9mm thick and weighs just 0.6 pounds. The eGlide Prism’s HD video player supports up to 2160p 3D HD videos, and has Wi-Fi connectivity a front facing camera, built-in speaker and comes supplied with a pair of 3D glasses. For a budget $160 ICS Android tablet the Ematic eGlide Prism tablet seems a bargain but don’t expect it to provide huge amount of processing power. “The eGlide Prism is packed with the latest technology designed for an improved user experience,” says Roy Rayn, General Manager of Ematic. “It’s also slim in size which makes it the perfect tablet for people who are always on the move.”

'Leaked' Nokia Lumia PureView concept images brandish bright colors, chunky profile

Take the smartphone camera sensor that was the toast of MWC, add in the burgeoning Windows Phone platform and this might be what you might get. Although we hope -- and suspect -- that it isn't. Sneaking out from China with some judicious pixelation, the phones look pretty... dynamic. With a profile more often associated with those tough, rubberized feature phones, the color gamut of black, magenta and yellow is at least very new-generation Nokia. But, if the concept hardware wasn't incredulous enough, wait 'til you hear the specs. A neat paragraph on one slide explains that this Lumia PureView would feature a 4.3-inch curved high-definition touchscreen (a first for Windows Phone), a dual-core process with an Adreno 320 GPU (yet another first) and Nokia's intriguing 41-megapixel camera sensor peeping out from behind a Carl Zeiss lens. We're looking at these renders through some high-prescription skeptic goggles and reckon it's an unlikely new direction for Nokia's hardware design. However, that's not to say a tie-up between Nokia's PureView tech and Microsoft isn't somewhere along the pipeline...

Images of rumored Google Nexus tablet leaked

Rumors of the upcoming, though unconfirmed, Google tablet dubbed the Nexus have been riding the high wave since quite a while now. Recently, we stumbled across images of what could probably be the upcoming rumored tablet, that search engine giant Google plans to execute under its own brand name. Also, we’ve heard of Asus and Samsung showing up as OEM partners for this upcoming tablet, and from the looks of the images, this one seems to be a 10-inch device packing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. There has been no word on pricing, specs or a darned whisper on Google’s part in regards to this tablet, that could pretty much have the spotlight of the tablet industry turned on itself if it does show for real in future.

First flying car test in the Netherlands yields hope

The PAL-V flying car has been long overdue now, so we're relieved to see the first test of the terrestrial and air vehicle, in the Netherlands. It's called the Personal Air Land Vehicle, if you're wondering about the name and flies like a gyrocopter. At the rear, it's rigged with a push propeller that folds and an auto rotating rotor to top it up. It can fly a good between 220 miles and 315 miles and drive for up to 750 miles. This is more than impressive for a flagship hybrid vehicle. Though it works quite fine on gasoline, the developers are gunning for biofuels in the future. Video after the jump. It seems that the deliveries of the car will commence not before 2014. Investors are being invited to join in this venture and we’re not doubting the probably success of this whole deal.

Samsung Galaxy S3 leaked image shows up on Korean websites

Samsung is getting the Apple treatment when it comes to new products, and why not, the Galaxy line of phones have had a phenomenal success and are anything short of amazing. The upcoming Galaxy S3 will be running on a Quad core processor, Ice Cream Sandwich and will sport an 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display. If the pic is to be believed the S3 will be uber-sleek and would be announced on May 22.

HTC One X review

It's been a difficult year for HTC. After several successful quarters, things have started looking less rosy in recent months with the company facing stiff competition and suffering from apparent brand dilution -- the results of launching too many handsets with forgettable names, making too many compromises for the carriers, continuing to rely on Sense, and lacking an iconic flagship to take on Samsung's mighty Galaxy S II. We knew something important was coming for Mobile World Congress after HTC timidly revealed the Titan II at CES -- after all, the company has a long history of innovation. A few days before flying to Barcelona and after being sworn to secrecy, we were quietly whisked into a San Francisco conference room with clear instructions: no pictures or video. There, in the middle of the table, was a white phone that instantly caught our eye -- the HTC One X. To write that we came away impressed after briefly using it is a massive understatement. This was obviously a halo device made for geeks like us, something designed to take on the Galaxy Nexuses of the world, something with the mother of all spec sheets, something running Ice Cream Sandwich with a significantly thinner and lighter version of Sense. Better yet, there were two other handsets with the same impeccable attention to detail -- the One S and the One V. HTC was finally showing some vision again with strong branding, gorgeous design and a polished user experience. While first impressions go a long way, there's a lot to be learned about a product by living with it for a few days. So is the One X truly HTC's comeback device? Are we still delighted? Is this the Engadget phone? Hit the break for our full review.

BMW i8 Spyder supercar unveiled

When it comes to designing cars that simply look splendid, Lamborghini has been running ahead all this while, until now. Bavarian automaker BMW has just pulled the veil off the topless version of its drool-worthy concept supercar that seems to have been plucked out the future, the i8. Called the i8 Spyder, this BMW is based on the previously unveiled i8 Coupe and is a plug-in through-the-road hybrid with a 96 kW (131 horsepower) electric motor nestled inside that lends power to the front wheels. Also, with a mid-mounted turbocharged three-cylinder gas engine producing 223 hp to power the rear wheels, the i8 Spyder touches the 62mph mark in under 5 seconds and brags of a top speed of 155 mph, good enough to make you wish you’d left the roof on. Sporting a convertible roof design, this one’s nearly the same as the i8 Coupe concept, with a few minor changes made to the exterior, making it a little more production friendly.

iRiver B100 wants you to 'touch the supreme sound', pedants grumble

It's been some time since we heard much from iRiver but the PMP maker is keeping busy with the snow-white B100. This capacitive touchscreen media player will offer up to 36 hours of music playback, or eight and a half hours of video watching. The 3.1-inch TFT screen has a resolution of 320 x 480, but it's backed up by a (relatively) long list of media codecs, including OGG, WAV, APE and ASF compatibility. If you're sick of limited playback options, you might want to consider downscaling those screen-size desires for improved format freedom. The PMP launches today, with prices starting at 11,800 yen (around $144) for the 4GB model, while the 8GB version will set you back 13,800 yen (around $168) at online Japanese retailer, Rakuten. The Google-translated PR awaits your quizzical looks below.

The LuvPad WN701 will be for sale in Japan for 49,000 Yen. It seems to be quite a pretty device for a Valentine's gift; if you're ready to wait for that long, not fearing outdating.

Rumored Nokia tablet’s images leaked; to sport 10-inch touchscreen

Nokia fans behold! We’ve stumbled across a leak that could have you jump out of your seats, if it isn’t a complete fake that is. With all of its peers including Samsung and LG wading into deeper waters and indulging in the tablet market, Nokia could indeed pretty much follow suit and this leak could simply be the evidence of that very fact! What we’ve got here seems to be a Nokia tablet that could show up in the fourth quarter of 2012 sporting Windows 8. Rumored to sport a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and a 10-inch touchscreen, this one’s supposed to be chiseled into being by Compal. From the shoddy image we got our hands on, this tablet seems to borrow design inspirations from the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900. But then again, just as we mentioned before, this could probably be phony.

Coby Starts Shipping of Cheap Android ICS Tablets

American low-end electronics maker Coby has begun shipping several of its Android ICS 4.0 tablets that were first introduced earlier this year at CES. They’re all packing the same basic specs, which we’ll get to in a moment, each and every one of them is running Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box – more than we can say for almost every new android device introduced this year. In total there are 6 to choose from range in size from 7-inch capacitive multitouch displays up to 10-inch in size with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Coby MID7042 – 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel display Coby MID8042 – 8 inch, 800 x 600 pixel display Coby MID9042 – 9 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display Coby MID9742 – 9.7 inch, 1024 x 768 pixel display Coby MID1042 – 10 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display Coby MID10245 – 10 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display All strange numbered names aside, let’s get into the good stuff: specs.

At present only the MID7042 and MID1042 are listed as “for sale” on Coby’s website. Though, they aren’t exactly the most responsive Android tablets on the market. But they’re some of the cheapest.

LG unveils flexible plastic e-paper display, aims for European launch next month

LG has made no secret of its fondness for flexible e-paper, but those dreams became a reality today, with the announcement of a six-inch display that promises to "revolutionize the e-book market." The malleable plastic display sports a resolution of 1024 x 768 and can bend at an angle of up to 40 degrees. At just 0.7 millimeters thick, it's about one-third thinner than similarly-specced glass displays, and weighs in at 14 grams -- about half the weight of its glassy competition. LG also claims that the display is super durable, as evidenced by a series of successful drop tests from a height of 1.5 meters. The plan going forward is to supply the display to ODMs in China, in the hopes of bringing final products to Europe by "the beginning of next month." For more details, check out the full press release after the break.

The LG 55-inch OLED TV

Word's out that we may well be blessed by the coming of another television set in the larger size. The LG 55-inch OLED TV that made its appearance endearing at CES will be here in the flesh. Called the 55EM9600, the television set will be here before two months, if we are to go by this report. It seems that the TV will make an appearance at Cannes festival and this will also lead to its launch. The LG 55-inch OLED TV id touted as a flagship entry. At just 0.16 inches the screen will be a real blessing for space seekers. So May is the time for release we are looking at, at the astonishing price of $7900.

Next iPhone To Feature 3.5 Inch Display And 4G LTE

There have been a number of rumors over the last week that this years iPhone will come with a 4.6 inch display, the rumor originally came from Reuters, who had said that the sixth generation iPhone would launch in the second quarter of 2012. Well it looks like the report was nothing but a rumor, as we suspect, as there are now conflicting reports saying that this years iPhone will come with the same 3.5 inch display which is featured in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The news comes from the guys over at iMore, who have also said that the new iPhone will come with a new smaller dock connector than they existing models and also 4G LTE. They are also saying that the device will launch in the fall, which sounds much more likely than the rumored second quarter launch date from Reuters. Apple launched the iPhone 4S in October of last year, so we can expect the new iPhone to launch around the same time this year and we suspect it will land in either September or October of 2012.
