Lenovo unveils IdeaTab S2019 Android 4 tablet on the way

  4:05 AM    Santosh

Lenovo unveiled its upcoming S2019 IdeaTab tablet through video on his Youtube channel. The company has not revealed the launch date or price of the tablet.

IdeaTab S2019 is coming with latest Android 4.0 operating system, and has 9.7 inch IPS. It will also have four speakers SRS-ready output.


The IPS panel will come with 1024 x 768 resolution, while under the hood we still don’t know much about the device. Early rumors pointed towards either a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor or a 1.5 GHz Krait chipset, but the guys at SlashGear are saying that the tablet will in fact be powered by a TI OMAP proc.
Other known features include a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, a microUSB port, microHDMI, and a microSD card slot. The device will also feature four SRS Trumedia speakers on the back and a battery that should last for ten hours between charges, according to manufacturer claims (I would expect an hour or two less in day-to-day use, though).

Microsoft, Nokia and Amazon showed Interest to acquire Blackberry

  3:20 PM    Santosh


It says a lot about the state of RIM that Amazon considered buying the floundering company, it says more that Microsoft and Nokia also considered a joint purchase, but it probably says the most that no purchase intent ever made it to the level of a serious offer.

In separate reports today the news came out that RIM had been considered for purchase this past summer. The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft and Nokia "flirted with the idea" of jointly purchasing RIM, but the idea was a fleeting one that only came up at one meeting between the executives of the three companies. Some think the idea may have even been tossed out as a joke.
