Liquidware Showcases Amber Tablet, a Development Device With Strong Customization

If you’re the kind of guy who likes to take apart tablets and mod the hell out of them, then the video below is pure tech pron for you. Meet the Amber tablet, that was recently showcased by Liquidware and it goes for a pretty hefty amount, $1,674.

Amber is “80% of the way to a tablet” and it features a 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU, 7 inch capacitive screen and a customized version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread. There’s no casing to speak of, so all the “guts” are in plain sight. The huge price is caused by the fact that this a development kit, so it’s NOT for end users. It’s used for prototyping by developers and it comes with 2 USB ports, 1 USB OTG and GPIO, I2C, serial and ADC hard connections. Lots of connectors mean that you can try various combos of components, creating an even stronger device.

On the DIY scene this is pure gold, but the price is pretty big. Just look at the Raspberry, it had the cheapest configuration and it supported an extra component or two, but in the range of $200 or so, not $800, the starting price of Amber. What do you say about this price?

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Gets Android 4.0 ICS Fix

It appears that the Android 4.0 ICS update for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 tablet brought not only new features, but also new bugs, since now ASUS had to push a fix for those. They also added Face Unlock with the new update and improved the email and System Bar Unlock.

The update version is 9.2.1.24 and it’s available via Over the Air. It appears that ASUS tried 4 times to fix the problems of its first update and let’s hope that this is the last time they need to push a fix. If you own the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101, try the latest Android 4.0 fix and tell us if your problems are solved. I have to say that ever since the first Android version launched, Android 4.0 has been the version that was hardest to update on devices and it gave users the most problems, when provided incorrectly.

Let’s hope that the wave of Android 4.0 updates coming to Samsung tablets won’t have to face such problems… if only they came faster. Any other tablet owners here with problems caused by ICS?
