This image has no alt text

It looks like AT&T is about to join their maybe-soon-to-be-bought competitor T-Mobile in carrying the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, an updated model of the original 2010 version, as the device has hit the FCC. As you may already know, it has a 7 inch display, a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, Honeycomb and more. Sit tight if you’ve been waiting for a tablet of this size to hit AT&T. [FCC, thanks Brian!]

This image has no alt text

Another day, another rumored tablet. Another new rumored HTC device, period. This time we’re being treated to an early look at the HTC Quattro, a 10.1 inch tablet rumored to have NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 processor inside.

Alongside all that juice there will be 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.0, 5GHz WiFi N, 16GB of internal storage, a 2 megapixel HD rear camera and a 1.3 megapixel 720p HD front camera.

Beats Audio technology is also said to be inside for better quality sound in music, movies and more. This would make it the first tablet to get Beats audio, though we’re sure only HTC tablets will get the opportunity. Early 2012 is said to be the drop date for the thing, though we certainly wouldn’t hold our breath too long with other options right around the corner. [PocketNow]

Droid Xyboard, New Name for the Xoom 2 on Verizon

Motorola Xoom 2 doesn’t seem that appealing for a name that defines a tablet on Verizon, so it appears that the device will get a rebranding. Pocketnow has the scoop on this and they’re claiming that the new tablet and its 8.2 inch Media Edition will be dubbed Xyboard, as bizarre as that may seem.

The info actually comes from a leaked Verizon stock system grab, that indicates the new Honeycomb slates are heading to the carrier’s portofolio. Apparently, the name Droid is also involved here, but Xyboard is a very strange choice. Everything about Motorola has been Droid over the past years and this series has brought them success, but the Xyboard is way too sci-fi to make it as a big name.

An indication that this is the truth is the fact that Verizon trademarked Xyboard a bit over a month ago with the US Patent Office, so there you have it folks, Motorola is ready for the rebranding of the Xoom 2. These tablets will still bear this name in the UK at least and in case you’re not familiar with them, know that they’ll be running Android 3.2 on 1.2GHz dual core CPUs, packing 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. What separates them is the diagonal size: 10.1 inch for the standard Xoom 2 and 8.2 inch for the Media Edition.

In case you haven’t heard yet, the Viewsonic Viewpad 10e is now available in the UK for 200 pounds. It’s a 9.7 inch Android tablet but it isn’t exactly running the software that you probably hoped it would. We’re dealing with Android 2.3 here being run by a 1GHz Cortex A8 (single core) processor and 512MB of RAM. While it’s sure to be a decent tablet for those who are a bit strapped for cash, we’re sure you can find comparable deals on better Android tablets closer to the holiday season. If you want to order it anyway, head here. [via EuroDroid]

Panasonic ToughPad Rugged Tablets Launched: 7 Inch ToughPad B1, 10 Inch ToughPad A1

Panasonic has just announced the launch of the ToughPad tablets, in the 7 inch B1 and the 10 inch A1 versions. These are rugged models, that can survive a drop from up high, it seems. They can even take on harsh weather and rough treatments, so they’ll be ideal in industrial environments.

Both run Android and meet the durability standards of ToughBook PC products from Panasonic. You also get 3 years of warranty, a water resistant shell on the slates and resistance against dust, screen glare and more. Extreme heat and cold doesn’t bother the ToughPads, so temperatures from 14 degrees to 122 Fahrenheit won’t be a problem.

Falls from 4 feet are also faced and you can use one of these tablets at an elevation of up to 15,000 feet. Plus, the specs aren’t bat at all, including the 1.2GHz Marvell dual core CPU on the A1, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and the 10.1 inch multitouch display. Digital pen input and a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution round things up, while on the software front, Android 3.2 Honeycomb is the name of the game.

The A1 integrates a mic and speaker, a microSDHC card slot, a stylus holder, a 5MP camera at the rear and 2MP one upfront, plus a micro HDMI port, Bluetooth, GPS and micro USB port. 3G and 4G connectivity are supported, but the price is pretty premium at $1299.

Samsung Illusion Specs Outed in Verizon’s Infocenter

This image has no alt text

Wondering just what the Samsung Illusion has in store? A recently uncovered Infocenter page through Verizon has all the vital details. The phone sports Android 2.3, a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, and 512MB of RAM. A 3.5-inch TFT LCD display gets a resolution of 480×320. Perhaps most interestingly, the Illusion features a “curved design” not unlike that of the Nexus S and upcoming Galaxy Nexus (though from the image, the curve doesn’t look as extreme). No release date is mentioned, but going off recent rumors November 17th could be the date.

Fujitsu Arrow LTE Tab Ruins Android And It’s Indestructible (Video)

There are few tablets out there that are rugged and even fewer that claim they’re indestructible. We have the Panasonic ToughPad and now a new model called the Fujitsu Arrows LTE Tab, an Android slate that can be submerged under water completely without problems.

This is a 10 incher model with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, Android 3.2 Honeycomb on board and Tegra 2 as the CPU. There’s also 1GB of RAM available, as well as 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot with support for 32GB of extra memory, a microUSB port and a microHDMI port. The CPU inside is the usual 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2, so the specs here are average but the external shell is the selling point, since it’s resilient.

Right now, this model seems rather prone to diving not very strong shocks, so the Panasonic ToughPad A1 might actually be better. I’d have to see them side by side and run them over with a car to know that… Promo video below:
