Rumors of a new family of Samsung Galaxy Tab tablets have been bouncing around for the better part of 2013. We’ve heard a lot about specs, as well as all the sizes Samsung might target for production. So far, there’s been a lot of rumor and speculation, but today we finally start getting actual answers, though they don’t arrive without some new rumors coming to fill the void. First off, Samsung has officially announced the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3. As rumors suggested, this is a relatively low-end tablet specs-wise, arriving ...
For over a month now, we’ve been seeing signs that Google Now was getting ready to spread beyond the realm of Jelly Bean Androids and make an appearance on iOS. After all, we saw what appeared to be a legitimate introduction video for just such an iOS edition.

If you have to have an earpiece on your tablet and finally leave your phone at home while you’re out then the ASUS Fonepad is definitely the one to choose between the two. However, if the lack of an earpiece is not a deal-breaker for you then take a look at the video below where we inspect the Google Nexus 7 and the ASUS Fonepad, side-by-side, in our usual comparison.
