Don’t we all love family photos? Well, we do know that while Motorola has not been too successful with their Xoom tablet, but that has not stopped to company from coming up with something interesting – the sequel that is obviously known as the Xoom 2. There is yet another leak of the Xoom 2, where it will feature not one – but two Xoom 2 tablets, sporting a closer look at the rear-facing buttons which were making rounds sometime last week.

These buttons do seem to point towards being a power button as well as a volume rocker, where the smaller model between the two will feature the same “Fleming” name that was spotted earlier, not to mention carrying a similar 8.2? screen size. It will be roughly as thick as the iPhone 4, boasting LTE compatibility to boot.

Apart from that, both tablets will also run on Android 3.2 Honeycomb so there is no need to worry about waiting for an operating system update in the meantime upon taking it out from the box. A 5-megapixel HD camera is located at the back to capture photos and videos, but it has been said that both prototypes are “buggy as all hell, with frequent reboots and crashes.” Guess that means it will take a while before the Xoom 2 hits the streets.

SKYTEX and EXOPC to introduce touch-friendly Windows 7 tablets

While Windows 7 is a great operating system on desktop computers, porting it over to the tablet didn’t exactly translate to a great user experience. Buttons and menus that were easy to click with a mouse cursor were sometimes a pain to use with fingers on a touchscreen. Most Windows apps aren’t designed with tablet users in mind, and the lack of functions such as hotkeys meant the use of options that were buried deep within menus in the operating system, overall it just wasn’t a very good experience.

Users have tried to overcome this problem before with customized UIs and widgets, but it requires some work on the consumer’s end to get it up and running. SKYTEK Technology plans to change situation with its recent partnership with EXOPC to bring tablets that are preloaded with touch-centric UI for Windows 7. Launching with the SKYTAB S-series, that Windows 7 tablet will be touch-friendly right out of the box. We’ve covered EXOPC’s tablet UI in the past and it’s one of the most elegant solutions out there to turn Windows 7 into a tablet-friendly OS.

On the hardware side, the SKYTAB S-series will feature a 1.5GHz dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, a 9.7? (1024 x 768) capacitive display, 320GB of internal storage, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, HDMI output, 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, mic, WiFi, Bluetooth, Optional 3G, 2 USB ports, microSD card slot, Windows 7 Home Edition and Microsoft Office. It’s not going to run Crysis 2, but you’ll definitely have a better Windows 7 experience on a tablet than other offerings on the market. It is available for pre-order now with a price tag of $699.99. Find out more.

Vodafone Germany has own branded Smart Tab 7 and 10 tablets

If you’re living in Germany and are rather disappointed that you cannot get hold of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in that part of the world simply because Apple’s legal eagles have filed an injunction to the courts to ban the sales of said tablet there, fret not. There are still other alternatives out there (which Apple probably hopes will steer you towards their very own iPad 2), and Vodafone Germany might offer two possible solutions with their very own Vodafone-branded Smart Tab 7 and Smart Tab 10.

Both these models will be powered by the Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system, running on a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor not to mention sharing the same 1,280 × 800 resolution – which means you can play back High Definition (not Full HD) videos without missing a beat. Not only that, these will sport 16GB and 32GB internal memory capacities, depending on the size of your bank account. Expect these to arrive in Germany this November though at a yet unspecified price point.

Levitatr Bluetooth keyboard for tablets looks amazing

Keyboard cases/attachments for tablets have usually been standard fare, with nothing much to shout about. They tend to be sleek and they get the job done, but for those who are fussy about design and looks, the Levitatr Kickstarter project might be something you may want to check out.

As with most keyboard docks for tablets, the Levitatr will be paired with your tablet via Bluetooth, and what makes it so unique is that when not in use, the entire surface and the keys appear to be black, but when you want to use it, a touch of a button will cause the keys to rise out of the chassis and illuminate, thus the name Levitatr, which we’re assuming is based on the keys “levitating”. Not only is this a sleek and elegant design, but it also allows you to clean the surface of the keyboard and get rid of those bread crumbs and dead skin.

The chassis of the Levitatr is made out of a single piece of aluminum, very reminiscent of Apple products, and not surprising as well considering that there will be five buttons built into the keyboard that are iPad specific. Measuring in at 12.5mm thick, the Levitatr is powered by 4 AAA batteries and for non-iOS tablet owners, not to worry as the Levitatr will be able to support the HP TouchPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Currently seeking funding through Kickstarter, if you’re interested in donating some money, a pledge of $79 will net you the Levitatr Bluetooth keyboard if and when it goes into production. For more information head on down to its Kickstarter page.

RIM: only 200,000 PlayBook tablets shipped in Q2

 At the quarterly financial report today, Research In Motion (RIM) announced some pretty disappointing results. The company announced that it has only managed to ship 200,000 PlayBook tablets for the second quarter of the year. When you take into account that that’s only the amount of tablets shipped out; the number of tablets that actually found their way into the hands of consumers should be significantly less. And that’s not something you would call a success.

And while RIM announced that its new BlackBerry 7 OS devices have been selling really well, overall sales of BlackBerry phones in Q2 have been dropped, with the company only shipping out 10.6 million handsets this year. However, RIM believes that it can bounce back up to its feet in Q3, with an estimated growth of 27-37% for its shipments – talk about optimistic! At least it managed to grow its subscriber base by 40% since last year to surpass 70 million users.

Overall, RIM isn’t doing too well, especially in terms of the BlackBerry PlayBook but its latest BlackBerry phones might be key to the company’s survival. It’s not going to be around for too long if it continues making losses each quarter.

Intel Tablets To Get Wireless Display

At its Intel Developer Forum, the chip giant has announced that it would bring wireless displays to its Medfield next-generation of low-power processors. Medfield is the code name for the future Atom processor. Atom has been used in Netbooks and Tablet computers running Windows, and Intel has announced that Android phones will use Atom in 2012.

Intel believes that given the capabilities of the next generation tablets, it would make sense to have the ability to use more than the 7?-10? display that is integrated in them. After all, new tablets will be easily capable of handling the 1080p (1920×1080) resolution that HDTV offers.

Although Wireless Display or WiDi is not yet a standard like WiFi, Intel believes that it will get the lion share  of the market, so it makes sense to push this capability into the market. Usually whatever Intel does becomes the standard. However, Intel’s market share in the consumer market is tiny at this point.

What would you do if you could easily beam a tablet’s content to a TV? Drop a comment at the bottom of the page.
