Earlier we had reported that Japan carrier KDDI had plans to release several phones as part of the Winter lineup, and that the Kyocera Digno ISW11K was one of the devices listed. However, not content with just launching smartphones and feature phones, part of that lineup will also include the ASUS TOUGH ETBW11AA.
The tablet seems to have appeared from nowhere, without warning whatsoever, so perhaps it looks like the tablet may be exclusive to Japan for now, but let’s take a look at what the specs are, shall we? As far as hardware specs are concerned, there’s nothing particularly special about the TOUGH – it will feature a 7” 1280×800 display with a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor under the hood.
It will also be running on Android’s Honeycomb 3.2, and just like the Fujitsu Arrows Z and as the name implies, you can expect the tablet to be rugged. The TOUGH is said to be both water and dust resistant while supporting 4G WiMax networks at the same time. The ASUS TOUGH ETBW11AA is expected to go on sale come this November. No word on pricing or if there are plans to take this tablet global.

Heads up AT&T users, it looks like three new Windows Phone 7 handsets will be headed your way! Unfortunately they are expected to arrive only in Q4 so there’s a little bit of waiting for those who are eager to get their hands on the new Windows Phone 7 handsets running on the Mango update. They are the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus S and the Samsung Focus Flash.
T-Mobile subscribers, if you’re on the lookout for a new tablet that is compatible with the carrier’s 4G (HSPA+) network and will not break the bank, a Huawei tablet was recently spotted in the wild that appears to be headed towards T-Mobile’s direction.
KDDI, one of the carriers in Japan, has recently unveiled their upcoming Winter lineup for phones. Some of the devices are feature phones, but some are smartphones, much like the Kyocera Digno ISW11K. The device was created specifically for the younger generation in mind, although we don’t see in what way it was done so – price point perhaps?
The next “Nexus” phone, that’s been rumored to be built by Samsung and called the Nexus Prime has been rumored to have been spotted by the folks over at The Droid Guy. They claimed that at the Verizon Developer’s conference today, they stumbled upon a Samsung worker who was using an Android phone that they couldn’t recognize. They talked to him and managed to convince the guy to show them the phone.
Virgin Mobile users, it looks like the Motorola Titanium will not be the first Android Gingerbread handset to arrive on the carrier, but rather a relatively obscure handset called the JukeB. As the name implies, there’s some sort of music/audio theme surrounding the device, but as to what exactly makes it a music device still remains unknown.
