Here at NVIDIA’s CES press conference, the two men just flashed a 7-inch Tegra 3 tablet with Ice Cream Sandwich. And guess what? It’s going to cost $249 price!

From the first moment we saw the ASUS Zenbook UX31, we were immediately taken with the brushed-aluminum chassis and slim design.

Well, it certainly took long enough (it’s been over a year since the app was demoed at Google I/O), but pre-made quadrocopter fans no longer have to reach for unofficial solutions to pilot their unmanned vehicle [...]]]> http://gadgetsreview.info/2011/09/ar-drone-control-finally-comes-to-android-lazy-quadrocopter-enthusiasts-rejoice/feed/ 0 http://gadgetsreview.info/2011/08/android-app-tethers-handsets-to-canon-cams-live-view-fanboys-rejoice-video/ http://gadgetsreview.info/2011/08/android-app-tethers-handsets-to-canon-cams-live-view-fanboys-rejoice-video/#comments Sun, 07 Aug 2011 01:00:27 +0000 admin http://gadgetsreview.info/?p=314 We’re living in a post-pc world, folks.
