Brainwavz bursts onto the headphone scene with the HM3, the newest addition to the Brainwavz line up. Boasting an attractive, understated yet robust design, the HM3 headphones excel in the mids and lows, giving it an exciting and, importantly, fun sound signature.
Featuring a dynamic driver design, the HM3 provides a bass that growls and a mid-range that purrs without sacrificing clarity and detail in the highs. Ideal for any genre of music, the HM3 makes your music fun!
The HM3 marks Brainwavz’s expansion into the headphone market, and is just the first of a fleshed-out range that is to follow.
The HM3 comes fully accessorized, coming with an extra pair of earpads as well as a ¼” adapter and instruction booklet.
The HM3 will retail for US$69.50, carrying a one year limi
ICOO is teasing its T77 and not much is known other than the following: it will have a 7-inch screen and it will be powered by an ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1GHz and packing 512MB RAM. Our guess? Amlogic AML-8726-M. Why? Because it's the only A9 single-core chip that is prevalent in the Chinese tablet market, the other A9 SoC being the EMMA Mobile EV from Renesas - and that's a dual-core. The look of the tablet is certainly interesting, with a visible lip and what looks like a single or dual buttons at the bottom / right (portrait / landscape respectively). It almost looks like it's been designed for primary operation in portrait mode, but the landscape promotional image would suggest otherwise. Rumours point toward Android 2.3 Gingerbread as the operating system of choice for IC
FiiO has unveiled the successor to their E5, the FiiO E6, a smaller and more robust portable headphone amp that FiiO boasts provides better sound quality and more features to boot. We do agree that the aesthetic of the new E6 certainly is nice, as it attempts to out-styling the simple, functional look of the E5. Where the E5 has succeeded - providing stable, sturdy portable amplification in a compact form factor - we have no doubt that the E6 will continue the trend. Take a look after the break for more on the E6 including a full specification list.
The last we heard of the MOMO series was the MOMO3, getting thoroughly babed out. Now, thanks to MICDigi, we get a glimpse at the MOMO8 SuperPad, Ployer's RK2918 offering that looks snazzy and has the hardware specs to back up its posturing. Lacking in any modesty, the SuperPad is powered by Rockchip's RK2918 Cortex-A8 based SoC (these are starting to roll in en masse now), and we can expect it to run Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, have 512MB RAM, a CPU clock of 1GHz and generally have snappy response and powerful operation. Interesting to note are two things: first, the 8-inch size with 1024 x 768 screen resolution (capacitive multitouch touchpanel) - it's a better size for web browsing than the widescreen 16:9 tablets that are ubiquitous; second, the 4200mAh battery - if true -
Cory over at Android Community has come across this snazzy live wallpaper which seems to have won him over - and we can certainly see why. With a nice, vibrant range of colours, it's soothing to look at on your tablet. We've already put it on one of our tablets here and it's actually pretty cool. Scratch that. Ultra cool. Check it out on the Android Market - video of the wallpaper in action on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 after the break.

The WoPad i7 doesn't bring anything new to the table looks-wise - it's the same old iPad lookalike that is now more famous as a lookalike than the original. Also, don't get your hopes up on the i7 monicker - this tablet does not have one of Intel's newest generation of ULV processors. With that said, though, the hardware the WoPad i7 houses is far from unimpressive. Powered by Rockchip's flagship Cortex-A8 based RK2918 processor to go along 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory and a capacitive multitouch touchpanel 7-inch display (800 x 480), this tablet is certainly no slouch. Running Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS (as all RK2918 devices do), the tablet is more than capable of holding its own in 1080p video playback, 3D gaming and general responsiveness. It's quick, doesn't lag, and
We opened up an Ainol Novo 8 to discover that the newer revision they are selling comes with 2 x 1900mAh batteries. This means an increase of battery life from roughly 1.5~3 hours to 4~5 hours (according to Ainol), which is a nice boost for what is ultimately a nice tablet. This won't be a full blown disassembly series of photographs, but after the break you can see more of the frame removed and dual batteries. You can also grab an Ainol Novo 8 with the dual batteries here. Alternatively, let us know what you think of the dual batteries on our forums.

Smart Devices (the company behind the SmartQ series of tablets, including the much hyped SmartQ Ten) has unveiled their SmartStation, a portable keyboard designed for docking with tablets, and providing a host of functionality including an ethernet port, USB ports and customised shortcuts for Android. It's battery powered too (rechargeable and removable) meaning that you may be able to supply power to your tablet via USB if that is supported... yes, USB. The word "docking" here is used very loosely - the SmartStation isn't so much a dock as it is a tricked out USB keyboard to use with your tablet. Impressive still, but when you hear "dock" you think of something like the LePad. An interesting product but will likely only find niche use.
What seems a little odd to me is that there doesn'
Some new rumours swirling around pertaining to Marvell's new ARM-based SoC's coming to the market, courtesy of SemiAccurate:
"SemiAccurate’s moles say that Marvell is cooking up an A9/A15 hybrid part, philosophically closer to the A9 on the core, but with a very A15-like memory controller. This likely means a 3-pipe design rather than a 4-pipe, but with >32-bit memory access and virtualization instructions. The new chip should implement the full A15 ISA, so there should be no software compatibility issues, but has less raw grunt than a full A15. At least on paper."
It is speculated that this hybridisation may be to lower the cost at near A15 levels of performance. An interesting question is whether this will impact the tablet market, or will these chips be aimed at laptops a
We don't often blog about iGear, but this was just too cool to pass up. An iPhone case with a realistic looking hand stuck to it, so you can channel Thing from The Addam's Family while you chat on the phone.
