Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 Android ICS tablet goes on sale in the US, brings along an optional keyboard dock

Lenovo just put the IdeaTab S2110 on sale in the US – it’s a 10? Android ICS tablet with an optional keyboard dock, a la Asus Transformer. The keyboard dock features a battery that boosts battery life by 10 hours, two full-size USB ports and a 3-in-1 SD card reader.

The tablet itself features a 10.1? IPS LCD display, a 5MP main camera (with LED flash), 1.3MP front-facing camera and a pair of speakers with SRS TruMedia enhancement. The Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 APQ8060A chipset with two Krait cores clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM and Adreno 225 GPU.

Other features of the Lenovo IdeaTab S2110 include Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, optional 3G connectivity, A-GPS (for the 3G-enabled model), microHDMI port and even FM radio. The battery in the tablet promises 10 hours of battery life (plus another 10 if you put it in the keyboard dock). The tablet alone weighs 590g.

Here’s a closer look at the microHDMI port, the keys on the dock and the USB ports:

US users can purchase the IdeaTab S2110 straight from Lenovo’s site – the 16GB tablet will set you back $343 or (if you want the keyboard dock too) $399. For the 32GB version, just add $32. There are optional covers for the tablet too (look familiar, don’t they?).

By the way, the price gets this low only with an eCoupon, so if you want one, you’d better act before the promotion expires (I couldn’t find a date when that might happen).

Facebook for Android update brings front camera support, new messaging features

Facebook has issued a new update to the Facebook app for Android, which adds some minor new features. First of all, you can now take self portraits using the front facing camera from within the app itself. You will notice a tiny button will appear in the bottom left/top left of the screen within the camera view.

Next, there are some new messaging features, which lets you switch between conversations, include friends of friends, share bigger photos an see who is available online.

Other than this, there are the usual bug fixes and performance improvements. The app is now compatible with Android 2.2 and above, so if you have a device running an older version of the OS (why?!) then you won’t be able to update or download.

I hope Facebook stops making incremental updates to this garbage app and hurry up already with the native app that they are working on.

Flipboard for Android apk leaks prematurely, brings cool news feeds to non-Galaxy S III users

Flipboard first launched for iOS devices and Android users have been hoping it’d launch for their beloved platform as well ever since. Yet it was only at the Samsung Galaxy S III announcement event last week that we finally got confirmation that droids will be having a piece of Flipboard action.

Unfortunately, the app was announced as Galaxy S III exclusive at launch, which meant the only way for you to get it is buy a Galaxy S III. Thankfully, though, one XDA user managed to extract it from the device and made it available to everyone right now. To get it, just head over to the source link below and download the apk. Once you do, transfer it to your Android device and install it (make sure you’ve enabled Untrusted sources from the Settings).

And don’t worry, it’s not malware, we tested it around the GSMArena office and it works like a charm. And if you have trouble find your way around the app itself, don’t hesitate to check out our extensive Flipboard review for guidance.

If you do install Flipboard on your droid, do not hesitate to share your impressions of it with the rest of us in the comments section below.

March brings 27% growth for Google+ with 61 million visits

It isn’t secret to anyone that Facebook, with its more than 500 million active users is the undisputed social network champion, but this doesn’t stop Google from trying to keep up. The search engine giant reports a steady growth, reaching 61 million visits for March.

That’s an impressive 27% more than previous months and with Larry Page claiming 100 million active users, Google+ has grown a great deal since its launch in June last year.

However, it’s unknown exactly how Page defines a user as “active”, since comScore put his words under scrutiny by releasing data, which shows that Google+ users spent just 3.3 minutes on the social network for January. If you think it’s not that bad, the average time users spend on Facebook is 7.5 hours for the same time. Yikes!

Regardless, Google+ is growing at a steady pace, according to the graphic above stating information from Experian Hitwise. Do you think Google+ has what it takes to eventually become as popular as Facebook or do you believe nothing can beat Zuckerberg’s creation?
