Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 might have a black version
Earlier this month, when Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, it only showed the tablets in white color versions.

Apple’s iPad Mini 2 and new, cheap iPhone could start shipping in August
Although Apple may consider launching 4.7 inch and 5.7 inch iPhones, that will certainly not happen this year.

DigiTimes reports that the cheap iPhone [...]

7″ Lenovo IdeaTab A1000 and A3000 tablets get priced for the US, starting at just $149
Back in February, Lenovo announced a couple of 7-inch tablets that had rather low-end specs and were thought to be affordable. And probably no one cared. Today though these have been priced for the United States, and they’re pretty cheap indeed. Maybe this will make them more interesting. That said, there are more and more [...]

HP SlateBook x2 to be launched in Europe in late July
While HP’s first Android tablet – the 7 inch Slate – is far from being impressive (it’s an entry-level device after all), the company’s second effort, the SlateBook x2, carries a whole different story. It’s a 10 inch Full HD hybrid tablet powered by Nvdia’s latest Tegra 4 quad-core processor. The SlateBook x2 will be [...]

7.9” Microsoft Surface RT may come in June, should cost $249-299
To say that Microsoft Surface and its trimmed down Windows RT tablet OS was not a success, is an understatement. Despite all the efforts and money the Redmond company poured into the project, according to most observers, they managed to sell less than a million of new devices.
