E FUN Nextbook Premium 8

The Nextbook Premium 8 (as you already know by now, most devices that sport a number after the model name tend to depict the screen size, and the Nextbook Premium 8 adheres to this principle faithfully) will come with an 8″ color TFT capacitive multi touch screen which ought to be enough for the average user, but those who are used to higher resolution displays might probably see this as not good enough. Other hardware specifications are available after the jump.

Want to go online? Fret not, as with most devices these days, the Nextbook Premium 8 will sport Wi-Fi connectivity, and it does seem to be more of the e-book reader type than a multimedia centric tablet – after all, it comes with an e-book reader software, the Kobo eBook Store app, SlideME application manager, OfficeSuite Viewer and ASTRO File Manager. Powered by Rockchip’s RK2918 processor, Flash programs will be able to run on it just fine with Flash 10.1 installed, while thankfully the operating system can be upgraded in the future via its over the air (OTA) update capabilities.

Nextbook Premium 8 - Not only that, this is the first model under the Premium range that will feature a 2.0-megapixel front facing camera just in case you’re up for some video calls, while 4GB of internal memory can be further augmented using a microSD memory card slot (to carry around another 16GB of data), sporting a mini USB port, integrated speakers and a 4-way G-sensor.

Expect to fork out $299.99 for this puppy as it arrives at online retailers from today onwards. Nextbook Premium 8.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

What’s so special about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus? For starters, it will feature a Peel Smart Remote App that is said to deliver a powerful “Discover, Tap and Watch†home entertainment experience. Basically, Peel is supposed to enable users to instantly find and watch their favorite TV shows – while having the ability to stumble upon new shows depending on your preferences that have been entered into the Tab 7.0 Plus via the touchscreen display.

Personally, I prefer a 7″ display since it is easier to hold and slip into my jacket pocket, but for those who prefer a larger sized display, I would recommend you stick to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 if Apple products are not your cup of tea. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus certainly is the pinnacle of 7″ tablets at the moment, packing in a whole lot of processing power into a body that tips the scales at a mere 345 grams while measuring just 9.96mm thin.

It will be powered by Google’s Android 3.x Honeycomb operating system that is tablet-centric (no idea on whether it will end up with Ice Cream Sandwich or not eventually though), making sure you get the best Android tablet experience to date. With built-in infrared capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is able to double up as another remote control for your home theater/TV setup. Peel basically enables users to control any home entertainment system regardless of manufacturer.

Interested? The 16GB Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will arrive Stateside to tempt you with your hard earned money this coming November 13th for $399.99. Seems to make for a decent Christmas gift idea, don’t you think so? Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
