Wikipad available for pre-order at Gamestop, will launch Oct 31st..

Remember the Wikipad tablet? It featured a unique add on in the form of a wrap-around controller that made the tablet almost impossible not to consider if you were an Android gamer. Good news is that the tablet has gone on pre-order at Gamestop for a price of $500 or around £380, with the launch set for October 31st.

The tablet features some impressive specs inc. a 10.1-inch IPS display with WXGA (800x1280) resolution, powered by nVidia's quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.4Ghz with 1GB of RAM which runs Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" out of the box. Device's cameras include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Internal storage is at 16GB but can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

Overall, this is a great tablet whether for gaming or not. The add-on controller is a welcome addition to the tablet as many people don't like using on-screen controllers including myself. I hope more availability for his tablet is announced soon because it has loads of market potential.

Acer Iconia Tab A110 available for pre-order from eBuyer, ships with Jelly Bean...

We first saw Acer's Iconia Tab A110 tablet at Computex, since then nothing has been said by Acer. However, now the Iconia Tab A110 has shown up on eBuyer, running Jelly Bean, available for pre-order for a price of £180 for the 8GB model.

The Iconia Tab A110 was the first 7-inch tablet to use the budget Tegra 3, the same processor use in the Neuxs 7, in comparison the Acer's screen is less denser (only 600x1024) and is in fact more expensive than the 8GB model of the Neuxs 7. The only key feature is a seperate HDMI port and a Micro-SD card slot which the Nexus 7 doesn't have and of course the Acer will get updates later than the Nexus 7.

Dimensions wise, the Acer is thicker than the Nexus 7 and more heavier. However, for those people who didn't like the Nexus 7 due to the lack of a MicroSD card slot, you can pick this tablet up for £180 in "46 to 48 days" time.
