‘Phone? Tablet? You won’t need either with the Galaxy Note II’

The Galaxy Note II is the first device that convinced me to drop my tablet. Seriously, I have really struggled to pick up a tablet over the last two weeks, no matter how badly I need to be reviewing that Telstra Tablet 4G. The Galaxy Note II so easily fills the void between phone and tablet, while rendering the two other form factors useless. If you can get used to the size as having this for your daily driver then I would really have no problem recommending it.

Disclaimer: The Galaxy Note II 4G was supplied to us by MobiCity, not Samsung. You can buy the Samsung Galaxy Note …

‘A solid device with some unfortunate drawbacks’

The Toshiba AT300 is easy to use and easy to handle. With its powerful quad-core processor, on paper it seems as though you wouldn’t need anything more. However, there are a few features of the tablet that would make me apprehensive to take the next step and purchase it…

‘By far the best Android tablet I’ve ever laid eyes on’

While that statement holds true for the most part, the ASUS Transformer Prime (TF201) does have some faults. However, when these faults are not in plain view I am taken aback by the true beauty, precision and usability of the Transformer Prime TF201.

WHAT WE LIKED

The ASUS Transformer Prime is fast. Yeah, it’s really damn fast. The TF201 is one hell of a beast. The NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3 processor that is found inside the Prime has not aged a second since its debut in late 2011. …

The Asus Transformer Pad 300 is a lot of fun, to say the least. It’s one of those niche devices that is neither this nor that – in this case it’s not quite a laptop, but it’s not just a tablet either. Much like the relatively new phablet (phone + tablet) scene. In this sense it’s a little limited by its very own design: it can’t be all that a laptop can be, although it most certainly can be a tablet.

So, it’s been a few days now since the fated yellow DHL package arrived on my doorstep, my new Android tablet enclosed within. I was most excited to get stuck into Ice Cream Sandwich and all the fun improvements it brings with it. And what better device to do it on than the world’s first ICS tablet, the Ainol Novo 7 Paladin. There are two things you need to know about the Novo 7 Paladin first off: It costs only AUD$110, and comes from China. Not that there is anything wrong with …
