New Tablet by T-Mobile: SpringBoard Tablet

I guess everyone has tablet fever. T-Mobile is trying to get a piece of the action by compete with the big hitters like iPad, but in a new ballpark of keeping the price low, below $200. T-Mobile has created the Springboard Tablet made to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire Tablet to try and grab the everyday person to get addicted to the tablet trend.
The Springboard has a 7in sharp screen with a 1.2GHz dual core processor running Android's Honeycomb OS. It includes a back and front camera which the Amazon Fire doesn't have. It also has an HDMI, micro-USB and microSD slot in order to expand your storage an extra 32GB if need be. The HDMI port is new to tablets so you could potentially hook this bad boy up to a monitor and key board and mouse and bam its a computer.
It will be hitting the shelves during the holiday session so be sure to look for it in all the flyers and all online. But of course, make sure you tell them that you heard it here first.

$35 Aakash Tablet vs. Amazon Kindle Fire

Wait what..... the new Kindle Fire, the Amazon tablet that was supposedly being a huge competition vs. the iPad many due to it's $199 price tag is being out done?!? The answer is simply, Yes.
How about a tablet for not $99, not $49... but $35 that has comparable specs as the Kindle Fire??? Well, there is one and it is called Aakash, which means "Sky" in Hindu. It has been released by the Indian government which has gone through great efforts to bring technology to the most poverty-stricken rural  areas. It has an Android OS allowing for web browsing and video conferencing, 2 USB ports and 256 MB of RAM. Not bad at all for $35... but you need to be a poor farmer in order to get one... or you can probably just wait and you will see them popping up on eBay or an Indian Website of some sort.
