NEC Casio Mobile’s MEDIAS N-04C is officially the World’s Slimmest smartphone and is available in Japan. The Medias measures just 7.7mm, which makes it the slimmest 3G smartphone out there (the Galaxy S II is 8.49mm thick). Read more for the specsheet.
The crazy docking Motorola Atrix 4G is just not beautiful to look at but indeed is one of the fastest smartphones “not” available today. Speaking of specs its equipped with a full GB of memory and 16GB of NAND, and is based on the the Tegra 2 framework from NVidia. Its unique feature though is it can be docked into a custom ultra thin notebook chassis and used to drive the notebook. Motorola calls this its webtop dock. Read on past the break for more pics and video.
As we already know the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 is just an Olive Pad(from India) rebadge, nevertheless its release was made official today. It would run froyo with both rear and front facing cameras, provide “ful phone functionality” with a full SIM slot capable of 3G data and voice transmission. The specs from the Olive Pad remain unchanged at a sub par 600 MHz ARM CPU and an 800×480 screen resolution. Price is expected to be “no more than £350″ ($543) in the UK, though all we know about availability is that review units will start showing up in October. Read the full PR, after the break.
Samsung has finally let go of all secrets pertaining to the Galaxy Tab, we now have confirmation on various new accessories along with their pricing that too from Samsung’s own websites. Among what was spotted was the table charging station(left of image) coupled with a neat HDMI port as well as audio output ports . It’s said to be priced at €54 ($69), which we might consider expensive if it wasn’t for the keyboard peripheral costing €82 ($105). The relative bargain of the set is the leather case that doubles as a stand, asking for only €41 ($52). These prices seem to be for the Asian market, we have yet to see what will these finally cost once they aim westward.
Toshiba calls its tablets Smart pads, that was pretty much clear from its product catalog. But we can’t fathom what’s Folio 100. From the scoop of Notebook Italia we were able to ascertain it indeed is Toshiba’s Tegra-2 based Tablet. But it comes with a few surprises, namely a dock peripheral and some sketchy specs viz. Android 2.2, NVIDIA Tegra 2 , a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 screen, 16GB internal memory, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, 3G, SD and MMC card readers, HDMI and USB 2.0 ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and a 1020mAh battery with a battery life of up to 7 hours with mixed use (browsing and video playback). Software-wise, it’s got Opera mobile browser, Flash 10.1, an e-book reader, and some office applications. Details are still scarce but seeing the recent flurry of tablets it seems a good strategy for Toshiba.
