No, I don’t actually read the New Yorker, but I do read Edge Magazine, which is like the video game equivalent. (Fun Fact Eric) Josh Miller/CNET Don’t overlook this screen.

Not the most ideal way to read comics on a tablet. Josh Miller/CNET I’ll get this out of the way up front: I love the way the Sony Tablet P reduces itself to half its size to easily fit into my pocket. It’s a feature I never thought I wanted until I got to experience it, firsthand. That’s the good …

Now playing: Watch this: Sony’s Foldable Touch Screen Tablet 2:29 “The Sony DS?” That was my first choice for the headline of this piece, but I felt it was a bit too cute and somewhat misleading.

Sleek, sexy design notwithstanding, the Toshiba Excite 10 LE’s price (and launching a day before Apple unveils its latest tablet plans) will be its biggest obstacle.

We’ll post a full review of the tablet after Ice Cream Sandwich hits, but in the meantime, check out this exhaustive first take. There’s really nothing special about the Acer Iconia Tab …

When the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime launched in late 2011, the hope was that it would be the first tablet to have and hold Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), the latest version of the Android OS.

When Asus unveiled its Honeycomb-powered Transformer Prime tablet last November, it stated that Ice Cream Sandwich would be on the tablet by year’s end. As owners of the tablet can tell you, that didn’t pan out. However, according to its Facebook page, the company will begin pushing the update to Prime owners worldwide, starting January 12.
