by

I’ve been seeing a lot of Ematic tablets hitting the market, it seems they’ve become a rather large Android tablet company and they’ve just announced the Genesis Prime XL which is a 10” multi-touch tablet running Android 4.1. The tablet can handle 1080P videos and comes with wi-fi of course along with a 1.1ghz CPU, 4gb or storage and 5gb of cloud storage is included too. The screen is 1024×600 resolution and it comes with a front facing VGA camera and a microSD slot that can handle cards up to 32gb in size so you can expand your storage. The table is price at $130 and yes that’s cheap but I’ll reserve judgment as I don’t have one in-hand. It’s available plenty of places on and offline it seems.

Ematic Announces New Android Tablet the EM63

by

I’ve never had the chance to play with an Ematic tablet, but wouldn’t mind it as I like to try everything. I’ve had good experiences with all types of tablets and I’ve had bad ones, you just never know what you’re going to get. Just because you pay top dollar for a tablet from a name brand company doesn’t mean you’re going to get a great tablet really. At least that’s my experience with it. Anyway, Ematic has just announced a new 7” tablet called the EM63 and it’s colorful, you can pick from pink, black, red, purple or even blue. The tablet is priced at only $89.99 and it’s actually got some decent specs like running Android 4.1 with a 1.5ghz dual core CPU with 1gb ram and 4gb storage with 5gb of cloud storage as well. You can of course use a microSD for even more room for your stuff. More details below for you..

Ematic Intros Inexpensive EGP800 Android Tablet

by

When I think of buying a tablet, Walmart isn’t the first place I think of to buy one, then again Walmart is carrying more and more higher end things like the new iPhone. I never expected to see a new Apple product there, but there it is, you can walk in and buy one now. Ematic has just announced a new Android tablet with a price of only $129.99 and yes you can get it at Walmart. The tablet is inexpensive, it’s running Android 4.1 and it’s got a 1.2ghz dual core CPU inside along with an 8” capacitive screen with a 1024×768 resolution. The tablet comes with 8gb memory and 1gb ram, but there’s a microSD slot so you can expand the storage up to 32gb if need be and they’re even offering 5gb of cloud storage. The tablet comes complete with wi-fi, Bluetooth, USB and even an HDMI connection so you can play things on the big screen by mirroring it. One would think at such of low price the tablet might be this little plastic thing, but it’s not it’s got a full aluminum housing on it which I would personally prefer over plastic and I’m sure you would too. The EGP800 coems equipped with a 3000mAh battery that is supposed to provide up to ten hours of battery life and that’s just excellent in my opinion. I wouldn’t mind trying one of these out myself.. There’s a little more info below for you..

Spire Launches the Bliss Series of Android Tablets

by

I have another review coming for you guys later on today, but first I have to get some news posted! We’ll start the day off with something from Spire who just launched the Bliss series of Android tablets, there are two of them, the Bliss and Bliss Pro, both of which are 9” tablets powered by a Cortex A13 1.2ghz CPU and running Android 4.0. The difference between the standard and pro versions is $10 which basically gives you dual cameras on the Pro version. Some people might not like ‘cheap’ tablets but they do have their place for the most part, the biggest problem with them is lack of updates I think. The Bliss is $150, and the Bliss Pro is $160 and they come with a 2yr warranty from Spire. I don’t see anything listed about how much storage they have expect for a mention of a microSD port. For the price though, I wouldn’t mind giving one a try…

Mobility Digest Review: Elecom 10.1” Tablet / Netbook Carry Bag

by

Bags, bags and more bags, cases, cases and more cases. Guess what I have for review today? Yep, it’s a bag or a case, it’s sort of both. It’s called a bag, but it looks more like what I think of as a case. Meh, whatever, the product is specifically called the Elecom 10.1” Tablet / Netbook Carry Bag and I like it. This bag has a separate section just for your tablet or netbook and then smaller sections for accessories like a mouse and power adapter. It’s not a bad case overall, it’s made of a water repellent material, but it could be a bit more padded. So read on….

It’s a desktop/giant tablet (I’m calling it a gablet unless you have something better).  This is a full Windows 8 desktop PC running Core i3 or i5 chips, with varying memory, but in all cases sporting a tremendous 18.4” 1080 IPS display and weighing … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: iGadgitz 8.9” Hard Cover Notebook / Tablet Case

by

Have you ever really looked into buying a case for your tablet or netbook or even notebook? There is just a plethora of them out there, yes I used plethora, and that’s the best word to describe it really. I like the word, it’s one that’s not used much anymore I think, but it really applies when it comes to the choice of cases out there today. Anyway, if you couldn’t have guessed, I have another case for review today. With the popularity of tablets on the rise, netbook and notebook cases are now being used for tablets, when you look at a site you’ll find the same cases listed in both sections. This is a good thing I guess as it gives you more choices, then again it can make life more difficult as you’ve now got so many to pick from. So the case I have for review today is the 8.9” iGadgitz Hard Cover Notebook Case and it kind of reminds me of a mini brief case. The case is a hard shell style, but it has a cloth material covering it and some padding in there too of course for protection. The case has velcro straps to hold your tablet or notebook in place and there’s even a mesh pocket to hold any accessories or other stuffs you might want to bring along with you. So without further chitchat from me, read on for the review…

Mobility Digest Review: E-volve Tuff-Shell 10" Tablet or Netbook Case

by

These days it seems netbook cases do double duty as tablet cases as well. When you’re searching for a tablet case you’ll notice netbook cases come up in your results, and that’s not a bad thing as it offers more choices. Well at least I think more choices is a good thing! Today for review I have a hard case that can be used with a tablet or netbook up to ten inches in size, it’s the E-Volve Tuff-Shell case and it sorts of just like it sounds, a hard shell case. Sleeves for tablets are nice, but I like having a hard shell biter as it offers a lot more protection that just a sleeve will. This particular case is fairly plain looking, basic black really, so you could use it for most any occasion, business or pleasure. The case has dual zippers for easy access and the outside of the case is pretty much spill-proof so it will protect from accidents and of course the weather. The case is good enough to be used on its own, or you can safely toss it into another bag and not worry about damaging the contents.
