Xperia Tablet S to resume sales mid-November

Sony Japan has confirmed that the 9.4-inch Xperia Tablet S tablet will resume sales mid-November. A few weeks ago the company halted sales when a small manufacturing fault was found – it was discovered that water breached part of the ‘waterproof’ chassis on some of the units. This defect occurred because of a small gap between the display panel and the back of the product that would let water reach the inside of the tablet in case of accidental spills.

New DMCA ruling: jailbreaking of smartphones legal starting 2013, but not for tablets

(Tablet PC from Shutterstock)

Law and policy can be confusing things, especially when you consider the dichotomy between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law. While the 1998 Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) aimed to curb copyright infringement and policy, an interesting backlash is that legal circumvention constituting fair use has become limited.

Samsung’s Galaxy S3 Mini passes FCC test, may come to U.S. after all

There isn’t that much buzz surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini after it was officially unveiled, no thanks to the phone’s rather weak specs.
But if you have a thing for a Galaxy S3-lookalike in a smaller form factor, you’ll be happy to hear that the Mini has been deemed safe for usage by FCC. The rendezvous also confirmed that the phone won’t be shipping with a 4G LTE radio.

Not everyone can afford to buy brand new Android devices, which explains why there are so many Android smartphones and tablets out there, from high-end all the way down to entry-level. But then again there are some people that can afford to keep changing devices and play with the latest tech available – which in the Android universe can be a very expensive habit.

AndroidOS spotted the Google Nexus 10 tablet on GL Benchmarks listed as the “manta,” a codename we’ve seen in the recent weeks.

Every time Google releases a new version of Android, the platform’s monetization rates improve

It is no secret that both Google and Android developers makes money with Android. Granted, they don’t charge for it out of the box like some operating systems do. However, they still find ways to draw a little money out of it. What is interesting is that each new version of Android manages to get a higher ARPU. For those who don’t know, ARPU is Average Revenue Per User.

Samsung reports over $7B in profits, thanks to strong Samsung Galaxy S3 sales

Samsung has posted its last quarter profits and the numbers are not surprising at all.

HTC loses faith in its own lineup, predicts gloomy Q4 ahead

If you think that HTC has hit rock bottom with their disastrous Q3 financial results, the phone maker has more bad news to share. In a recent statement, the company said that its Q4 revenue is set to drop 14% compared to the previous quarter, signaling that it has yet to succeed in weathering the Samsung storm.
The projected $2.05 billion revenue for the busy holiday season is well below analysts’ forecasts, which expect HTC’s offerings in the smartphone market can pull in $2.5 billion in revenue in the final quarter of the year.

Atari announces RollerCoaster Tycoon and Dungeons & Dragons: Warbands for Android

Atari has announced the upcoming availability of some mobile games. The company has announced five games in total, though only two will be making their way into Google Play.

Rockstar classic Grand Theft Auto: Vice City landing on Android and iOS this fall

Once upon a time, when the notion of high-quality mobile gaming sounded as bizarre as time traveling, all that kids (and some grown-ups) knew for fun was Windows and PS 2’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Yes, it was violent, no, it wasn’t very educational, and yes, it was really dumb here and there. But it was fun, witty, cool and funny!

Rumor: Panasonic to withdraw (again) from European mobile market

Panasonic certainly started out its new mobile European adventure with some bold goals, but things didn’t go down as the Japanese hoped.

Google’s Vic Gundotra posts image from a Nexus 10 tablet, simultaneously removes any doubt of an upcoming announcement

Google’s Vic Gundotra has recently posted an image on his Google+ profile page. The image, which is titled ‘early morning walk on the beach’ appears to be innocent enough.
