The update situation with the Transformer Prime by ASUS has been a bit crowded. We've seen plenty of updates for the quad-core tablet in the past, not least of which was the update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. But, while the updates were meant to fix the issues plaguing the brand new tablet, it doesn't look like the updates are actually fixing all of them in... Read more » Lenovo ThinkPad Android 4.0 update set to begin in May
Late last month, Lenovo made it clear that they intended to not only update their IdeaPad tablet to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but also the ThinkPad business-oriented tablet. Unfortunately, back then, Lenovo was only providing generalized dates, with no hard dates to go on. We knew to expect it in the second quarter of this year, but nothing else beyond...

Lenovo hasn't been quiet about future updates to their ThinkPad and IdeaPad tablets, even if they haven't exactly provided specific dates as to when these updates will occur.

We know that the Kindle Fire by Amazon has made a significant impact on the tablet market with its low price tag, and there are plenty of people out there who believe that it may have made a pretty good dent in Apple's iPad sales at the tail-end of last year, too. But, according to a new research note by Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan Rohan, it looks like Amazon may... Read more » Samsung Galaxy Tab usage down, Amazon Kindle Fire now at large
We knew that Amazon's cheap tablet, the Kindle Fire, had some great sales this past holiday season. It turns out that they cut into the Android usage market, and even cut the Samsung Galaxy Tab's usage in half. In November the Galaxy Tab held 63% of the usage on Android tablets.
