Video: Acer’s New 7.9-Inch Tablet

It’s finally been introduced.

I’m not sure about just 1GB of RAM and 8GBs of storage.

And it’s certainly fatter and heavier than any Chinese iPad Mini clone.

On the other hand, it’ll be widely on sale in the U.S., unlike those clones.

After the break, a video.

Let’s review the specs:

Dealsprime Posts Honest AnTuTu Score For Chuwi V88

But they ruin things by claiming they’ll include a USB On The Go cable as a “free gift” — that cable is included by Chuwi as standard!

Anyway, the AnTuTu score:

That more or less matches the AnTuTu score from the mysterious IMP3Net review (16,394) and is within the margin for error of the 15,726 Merimobiles posted — and it blasts a big fat hole in the score PandaWill posted (18,045).

Barnes & Noble Takes First Step To Phasing Out Nook Tablets

January 3, 2013, William Lynch of Barnes & Noble/Nook Media:

We are examining the root cause of the December shortfall in sales, and will adjust our strategies accordingly going forward.

February 28, 2013: Brave Talk From Nook Media’s William Lynch

As the market goes to more multi-function tablets, we have to look at how we offer functionality differently and that’s what we’re focused on now.

May 3, 2013: Google Play comes to Barnes & Noble’s Nook HD and HD+, we go hands-on (video)

So Lynch has delivered. It’s probably too little too late.

Clearly they’re trying to do the right thing by letting in the Play Store. This assures customers that they won’t be left with a useless piece of hardware when they finally pull the plug on their own Nook App Store — which they will do.

Does this move help Barnes & Noble sell more Nooks now? Maybe.

Did IMP3Net Remove A Review Of The Chuwi V88?

I’m trying to slowly catch up with things and I’m hit with a mystery.

The Tablet/MID site of IMP3Net touts a review of the Chuwi V88, which I’ve boxed in red:

Click = big

Yet that URL does a 404. And that item is not mentioned under Tablet/MID at the main IMP3Net page.

That makes me think they removed that review yet neglected to cleanse it from the separate Tablet/MID site.

And it did actually exist.
