Nexus Prime passes WiFi certification

We’re pretty excited here at TA because we likely have a bit of Nexus Prime news on our hands. The Samsung GT-I9250 has just passed WiFi certification today.

Archos’ Updated Arnova 7 Passes through the FCC

Remember Archos’$99 Arnova 7 tablet? Announced back in June, an updated version is already making the rounds at the FCC under the guise Arnova 7b G2. The second-generation version of Archos’ budget-lable tablet gets a refined form factor that show off a bit more curve along the sides. The original Arnova 7 was square along the edges.
