That title is crazy right? The iPad 3G starts at just $629 and the iPad Wi-Fi is only $630 in Verizon’s own stores when bundled with a MiFi, after all. We’ve learned that Verizon is actually planning to sell Samsung’s Galaxy Tab for $599.99. Crazy!

Are they serious? Apparently so. And there looks to be zero subsidization available. The Android 2.2-based unit, loaded down with V CAST apps, will hit retail on November 11th. A data plan starting at $20 per month for 1GB is optional.

RIM’s Co-Chief Executive Officer Jim Balsillie has revealed a few more details about the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. According to CrackBerry, the device will have a 5,300mAh, non-removable battery, which will help it deliver more life than competing products. The similarly-sized Galaxy Tab packs only a 4,000mAh battery and a claimed seven-plus hour battery life when watching movies.

The PlayBook should last longer, obviously and maybe it will even match or surpass Apple’s 10-hour rating for its larger iPad. RIM’s smartphones are already very efficient and known for their long operation on a single charge. We hope some of this efficiency rubs off on the PlayBook as well.

bModo has unveiled its tablet called the bModo12. It’s more of a netbook than an iPad. the device runs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor with Windows 7 as the OS. The tablet sports dual USB ports, an SD card slot, HDMI output, and a SIM card slot so you can get mobile broadband.

The tablet also has a front facing VGA webcam with a mic for video conferencing and chat capabilities. Some other features include 1GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD.

Remember that ExoPC Windows 7-powered tablet? Well, the company has finally decided to release this touchscreen tablet in Canada and Portugal. Portuguese retailer Probitas has started selling this tablet as the Mobi One for 692 Euros or about US$965.

In Canada, the ExoPC tablet is called the Ciara Vibe tablet and retails for $599. The ExoPC Tablet features an 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 pixel) display with a capacitive multitouch screen, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, an optional 3G, an HDMI port and an SD card slot.

Full specs for the Advent Vega Tegra 2 tablet expected to drop at UK retailers PC World and Currys for just £249 have finally emerged. The biggest modification is the size, down to 10-inches from 15, but the 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra chipset is still under the hood, so it does 1080p. However, the 1024 x 600 resolution on the capacitive touchscreen is a bit of a letdown, but the HDMI output makes up for it.

There’s a 1.3 megapixel webcam, 802.11bg WiFi, a 3G SIM slot, 512MB each of ROM and RAM, and microSD expandability, with a 4GB card included. The OS is Android 2.2 and battery life is 6.5 hours of 1080p video.

The company recently announced that it won’t be releasing any Windows Phone 7 or Android products, but they went ahead with the eStation C510 anyway as it was designed prior to HP’s acquisition of Palm. It’s available for purchase right this instant from HP.

Tablet computers are great, but what if you like a physical keyboard? The AlphaUI IBack-Type can help. It’s basically a physical keyboard that fits on the back of your tablet.

The IBack-Type is designed to be fitted to 5 inch to 7 inch tablets, and features 24 built in keys which you use to type while holding your tablet. The keys can be configured however you like. Though it does make you look as if you are flying an airplane that isn’t there.

It’s hard keeping all of Asus‘ Eee Pad prototypes straight. Here’s yet another model. This one is the EP90, an 8.9-inch tablet with a 1024 x 600 display, 16 or 32GB storage, a dual-core 1GHz processor with Tegra graphics and, it looks like it will rock some version of Microsoft Windows.

Apparently there’s also a 12-inch tablet model on the way as well. Asus has no shortage of various sizes of tablets. That’s for sure.

If you’re looking to find an Android tablet at an affordable price, then check out the Rocktab from Nationite. This tablet is powered by a 600MHz Rockchip RK2808 processor, hence the name.

Back in 2007, many will recall that the batteries in notebooks were seemingly blowing up at random around the world. One guy has a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo inside that blew up and damaged the machine so it wasn’t usable.

The geek decided to use that machine for a DIY tablet project with some cool results. The tablet he turned the MacBook into still needs some more work on it, but it is operational. The guy integrated a touchscreen and was able to use the screen with the bezel turned the correct way.

Back in September the ExoPC slate went up for pre-order. The machine was pegged to ship on October 15. If you pre-ordered and have been counting the days until yours showed up at home, you have a bit more time to wait.

The company has announced that a problem on the Pegatron assembly line with a piece of automated equipment that was using too much force to install the touchscreen and causing cracks. There are a small number of 32GB machines that didn’t get cracked screens. The machines that were ok will ship during the week of October 18.

We have heard that Android 2.2 isn’t well suited for tablet devices and apparently LG feels the same way as we now hear that an unnamed LG official has claimed that the company will not be producing an Android 2.2 tablet.

They want the best version of Android for their tablet and apparently that isn’t Froyo. It matches what we’ve heard about Motorola planning to release its Android-powered tablet with Android 3.0 as well. When LG does release their tablets, they will perform better for having waited.

Good news if you were looking for one of Onkyo’s new tablets. GeekStuff4U has started taking pre-orders for the Onkyo Tablet TW317.

The tablet sports a 11.6-inch display so you can enjoy high definition video and his Windows 7-powered tablet also has a webcam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There are also two USB 2.0 ports, an SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, a stereo mini jack port and an HDMI mini output.

Next, a popular UK high street chain, will be stocking their own-branded Android tablet, which will be called the Next 10-inch tablet. It will run Android 2.1, but we don’t know if it will have an update for the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system soon or not.

It will cost you £180 for the following specs. A 10-inch LED touchscreen display at 1024x 600 resolution, 1.0GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 8GB internal memory, Wi-Fi, Android 2.1 operating system, USB 2.0 connectivity, 3.5mm headphone port, microSD memory card slot.

If you got all excited when Michael Dell whipped out the 7-inch tablet recently, then we have some good news. According to the Wall Street Journal, Dell’s Greater China President Amit Midha has said that the device will be arriving “very, very soon,”. Within the next few weeks.

Apparently, there will be a bunch of new devices from Dell in the coming months, including devices in 10, 4, and 3 inch form factors. The 7-inch device has been confirmed to be powered by Android, but Windows is expected on some devices as well.
