Apple Tablet Tester Claims 2-3 Hours Battery Life

Jan 27, 2010 Apple Tablet

We’ve passed the concept and image leak stage of the Apple Tablet and we’re reaching a new phase, focused on hands on experiences and folks talking about the device. This time it’s Jason Calacanis, tweeting about his hands on impressions with the Apple iPad, as a beta tester. He has been playing with the tablet for two weeks now and what he’s learned we can find out after the break:

First of all, the Apple Tablet comes with an integrated HDTV tuner and PVR, a wireless keyboard and monitor connectivity. There’s also front and rear camera functionality, integrated 3G with support for Verizon and AT&T and more. Even the first flaw is rearing its ugly head: the limited battery life.

Calacanis mentions that the Apple tablet sports an OLED touchscreen display and a bunch of “thumpads” on the sides for mouse gestures. Also, as far as gaming is concerned, you get a Wii-like experience. Fingerprint biometrics are also on board, as well as a solar panel at the rear. Now back to the battery life, the tester claims that the power is great in Ebook mode, but gaming and WiFi will eat the battery and leave you with a mere two to three hours of runtime.

We also get info on pricing, supposed to be $599, $699 or $799, depending on device size and memory. Will the Apple iPad have a battery as weak as the one on the iPhone?

HTC Evolve Tablet is a Cool Concept, Runs Android, Features OLED Display

Dec 17, 2009 Concept tablets, HTC

Since HTC doesn’t seem to join the gang of tablet-producing companies, we might as well feast on the shots of the HTC Evolve device pictured below. This is a concept tablet created by Timur Pinar, one that runs Android OS, bundles a stylus and incorporates an OLED touchscreen display.

As you can see, there are pre-programmable buttons on the side, for extra features and in case you’re wondering, HTC Evolve’s specs list includes an Intel Atom CPU, 128GB SSD memory, 1.5GB RAM, a customized version of Android and the ability to run Chrome OS.

The HTC tablet also comes with 2 USB 3.0 ports, a HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a camera, microphone (in the front bezel) and support video conferencing. Better than the Apple Tablet? What do you say?
