Run Verizon's iPad as 4G LTE hotspot for 24 hours plus
Turn off the display and you can run Verizon's new iPad for 24 or more hours as a 4G LTE mobile hotspot.
In battery tests run by AnandTech on the new iPad, they found battery life to be slightly lower than in the iPad 2. That might be expected when looking at the bright new Retina high definition display. But what's not expected is the ability, on Verizon iPad models, to run the iPad as a 4G LTE mobile hotspot for more than 24 hours on a single battery charge.
Thanks to the larger 42.5Wh battery in the new iPad added to run the new display, turning off the display means other functions can run for much longer than before. Add in the fact that Verizon added the mobile hotspot feature, or, more accurately, turned it on while AT&T leaves it off, makes your new iPad a great choice...

A quad-core Windows 8 laptop more ultra than an ultrabook?
Imagine a quad-core Windows 8 laptop as light as a tablet. Enticing -- but first let's see if commercial designs actually appear from top-tier device makers.Can a quad-core Windows 8 laptop be as thin as an iPad? That's the design Qualcomm is aiming for. But we've heard this story before.
The San Diego-based chip supplier anticipates superthin laptops running Windows 8 on top of its Snapdragon chips, according to a report in PC World.
It's certainly an enticing idea: Laptops lighter and thinner than even Intel-based ultrabooks -- an idea also put forward by Nvidia, which already supplies its well-received quad-core Tegra 3 processor to Asus for its Tranformer Prime tablet.
At a macro level, this is about ARM versus Intel on Windows 8, which will be compatible with both chip technologies....

The ongoing availability of key components used in Apple's new tablet are still uncertain but manufacturing geographies appear to be favoring some over others.Flash memory chips and batteries, major components in the iPad 2, appear to face different fates, owing to the location of the manufacturing facilities in different parts of Japan.

A Google Nexus tablet? Bad news for Android partners.Commentary: You may think it's difficult to operate in the tablet business now. But just you wait until Google itself gets into the game.
Tablets, even tweener ones like the Galaxy Note, could face pressure if Google gets into the business itself. (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) The worst thing Google could do to its budding Android tablet business is get into it.
But that appears to be what the Internet search titan is up to. The latest report from Digitimes has Google partnering with Asus to create a low-cost tablet to compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire.
If Google wanted to assuage its Android partners that it isn't interested in competing against them, the company is going about it completely...
