LG teases "Just right tablet" The G Pad 8.3 inch. Video.

Expected to be unveiled at September's IFA consumer electronics show, the G Pad 8.3 is thought to be small, lightweight and designed to compete with similar products like the iPad Mini and the Nexus 7.

LG  message is that the GPad 8.3 will be light and thin enough to be truly mobile, will pack a hell of a processing punch, will offer a superior video playback experience to an HD smartphone and will synch with existing Android and more specifically LG products.

 IFA is set to start officially on September 6 in Berlin.

MWC2013:Altar introduces Single Mode LTE NVidia Tegra 3 tablet reference platform.

MWC2013:Altar introduces Single Mode LTE NVidia Tegra 3 tablet reference platform.

Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's leading developer of high-performance, single-mode LTE chipsets, today announced that its chipset has been pre-integrated on the NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 tablet reference platform. The platform has been made available to Altair and NVIDIA customers as a reference for the development of single-mode LTE tablets, offering manufacturers a mature, high-performance and cost-effective solution.

Altair's Verizon-Certified FourGee-3100/6202 chipset offers single-mode LTE connectivity on both FDD and TDD variants across all 3GPP bands globally.

"As the industry continues its unabated move towards wide-scale adoption of 4G only devices, manufacturers are on the lookout for innovative LTE solutions to differentiate their product offering," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing at Altair Semiconductor. "We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with NVIDIA and to bringing the 4G user experience to consumers around the world."

The explosion of data-centric devices such as mobile hotspots, Wi-Fi routers, USB dongles and M2M applications, combined with the massive expansion of 4G global coverage to the point of 3G parity, is driving strong carrier adoption of LTE powered devices which do not include 3G functionality. The combination of 3G's high cost, driven by extra silicon and heavy IP royalty toll, with narrow-band user experience, provides strong motivation to carriers and consumers alike to adopt LTE-only devices.

"By teaming Tegra 3 with Altair's LTE chipset, we can offer customers one of the most advanced solutions for LTE mobile devices," said Glenn Schuster, Director of Technical Marketing at NVIDIA. "We're looking forward to bringing more differentiated, LTE-enabled products to market."

Nokia  Windows RT   10.1  inch Tablet  with HDMI,  USB  ports  and  battery on  keyboard  cover, coming.

In March 28,2102 we reported Nokia was working on a Windows tablet rumored at that time as Nokia Lumia Coffee Tab , that probably was just a concept, as you can see on the video below:

Nokia now is said to plan packing the Windows RT   10.1  inch Tablet   device with a cover similar to the one Microsoft used for Surface, and to include HDMI and USB ports on it. 

The cover will include not only a keyboard, two USB ports and a kickstand for the tablet, but also a battery that will further extend the usage time of the device. 

Also featuring cellular connectivity inside, the device is expected to make an official debut at AT&T in the United States.

Nokia’s Windows RT tablet PC is expected to boast a 10-hour capacity. Apparently, the handset vendor is planning to manufacture only a small number of this device, but is also looking at the launch of a Windows 8-based slate at a later date.

Recent reports have suggested that Nokia may unveil its tablet at Mobile World Congress in February.

Official: Microsoft`s Surface tablet with Windows 8 Pro priced. Availability Jan 2013.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.

Official: Microsoft`s Surface tablet with Windows 8 Pro priced. Availability Jan 2013.

In January, Surface with Windows 8 Pro will be available in two versions and pricing will start at $899:

· 64GB standalone version at $899

· 128GB standalone version at $999

Both versions will both include a Surface pen with Palm Block technology and include the ability to use a Touch Cover or Type Cover (sold separately).

Surface with Windows 8 Pro uses the same familiar elegant design principles as Surface with Windows RT including the Dark Titanium VaporMg casing, dual 2x2 MIMO antennas designed specifically for Surface and of course the kickstand.

Specifications:

Surface with Windows 8 Pro will come with Intel’s next generation Core i5 processor. This chip will give Surface with Windows 8 Pro a graphics boost for its 10.6” 16:9 ClearType display that runs at a 1920x1080 full HD resolution.

 Surface with Windows 8 Pro also includes a full-size USB 3.0 port. Its Mini DisplayPort can drive an external display up to 2560X1440 resolution. 

 Surface with Windows 8 Pro will support Pen input. This is an amazing feature for all you note-takers or document editors out there, especially since it has expanded capacitive and digitizing technology we’re calling Palm Block that will prevent your handwriting from getting interrupted if you accidently place your palm on the screen as you write. This feature is pretty cool, and allows for a great inking experience alongside a great touch experience when needed.

Surface with Windows 8 Pro will run your current Windows 7 desktop applications – it’s a full PC AND a tablet.

And all this in a PC that will weigh less than two pounds and be less than 14 millimeters thick.

The Surface Pro will have a 42 W-h battery,  to "have approximately half the battery life of Surface with Windows RT." (just over four-and-a-half hours.)
