Chrome on the other hand is getting much faster JavaScript, GPU-accelerated video and some UI polish… Read more »

Tech specs can be a little boring as just text, so Samsung made this video demo of their new Galaxy Tab 10.1, which goes over the juicy details.

Subtle? Hardly. But those are the guys that announce each new product about five times (check out our news section if you don’t believe me).

Sure, the LG Optimus Pad sounds pretty great and all, it’s got Read more »
