Tablet with an attitude

 Dell Latitude 10

 Windows 8 is just around the corner and many of us are wondering about its hardware requirements from a more portable point of view...
 Here's where Dell comes in with its Latitude 10: dual core Atom processor, 2 GB of ram, 128 GB SSD, Intel integrated graphics, 10.1 inch screen with 1366x768 resolution and a fingerprint reader.
 As for the battery life, it should be able to last up to 8 to 12 hours depending on the usage and the system's configuration.

 iOS and Android are tough contenders for Microsoft in the mobile segment. The user's preferences, hardware performance, price, availability and more - will determine the next step in the mobile world evolution and we'll get the chance to witness it.

Gingerbread on Atom

 Xolo X900

 And here we are ladies and gents, we’ll be witnessing yet another milestone in the mobile industry. Lava (an Indian mobile phones company) is preparing to launch the Xolo smartphone which, hardware wise, runs on an Atom platform. As the OS is concerned the weapon of choice would be Android Gingerbread at launch with an update to ICS following up shortly.

 I know y’all geeks are eager for some specs so here they are: 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2460 processor, 1 GB of ram, 16GB of internal memory, screen size of 4.3”@1024x600 pixels resolution, 8MP main camera with Flash, a front camera of 1.3MP, micro HDMI out. The handset is also NFC (near field comm.) ready. All those goodies are packed in a form factor that measures a mere 123x63x10.99 mm.

 At first glance the specs are on par with the last year’s high end devices but do keep in mind that this is an Atom processor on which a PC version of Windows might work just fine. 

 From now on we should get used to see the “intel inside” logo on smartphones as well. But how soon is now and how’s that Xolo for a change? See ya!
