Lenovo announced the new Yoga 10 HD+ that improves on the original Yoga model with some great new features. Consumers can look forward to a large 10.1 display and a whipping 18 our battery life, which is quite impressive for a tablet. The DOit feature on the Yoga is sure to excite the mobile market as well with three apps to share, secure and sync the tablet.

Sony is seeing a good initial response to the launch of its Xperia Z2 Tablet and it’s already being considered the most lightweight and slimmest tablet available. Itís super tough and waterproof with a powerful processor, the Snapdragon 801 with 2.3GHz quad-core Krait CPU and an Adreno 330GPU.

HP made a showing at the MWC 2014 show with the announcement of two new tablets, the ElitePad 1000 G2 and the MediaPad 600 G1 both running Android and a new phablet The Slate VoiceTab. The ElitePad is geared towards business users with a set of features to further that end. The ElitePad also offers high end audio with the DTS Sound+ system and 2 built-in stereo speakers.

The HP Slate VoiceTab phablet is a first of its kind for HP, and will give users two new models, one a 6″ and one a 7″ display. These models are not yet slated for sales in the US, as it seems that HP will test the market overseas before delving into the domestic side.

And, finally in our MWC 2014 day 4 tablet news coverage we wrap up with the launches from Huawei of the MediaPad M1 tablet and X1 Phablet.

Mobile consumers can look forward to eliminating one device from their pocket because of the MediaPad X1 is a 7″ phablet, which combines a tablet and phone into one simple mobile gadget. It has LTE connectivity and is Cat4-enabled. The one feature that is sure to captivate the consumer is the 5000 mAh battery that Huawei says will deliver 21 days of standby time and more than 5 days of continues use and reverse charging, which is certainly impressive and will surely be a great selling point for this model.

The MediaPad M1 is a tablet with a large 8″ 800 x 1280 HD IPS multi-touch capacitive display. With a quad core processor as well as a battery that offers 8 hours of video playback on one charge, the MediaPad M1 will surely be a big contender in the tablet market in 2014.

We hope you enjoyed all the news from MWC 2014 day 4 and we are looking forward to all the great release of tablets coming from these major brands.

Mobile World Congress 2014 report card: who made the grade?

There’s also the Gear Fit, which is a sleek, good-looking device that adds more variety to Samsung’s watch lineup; given its attractive design, curved AMOLED display and simple emphasis on fitness and notifications, we have a feeling it will be a success.

Nothing Sony announced this year would be considered a groundbreaking achievement, but the company came to MWC with a powerful trio of devices: the new flagship Xperia Z2, which comes with the best specs you can get in an Android phone; the waterproof Xperia Z2 tablet, which is actually thinner and lighter than the iPad Air

Interesting that Engadget gave Sony a grade of B, noting that nothing groundbreaking was announced. LG also received a grade of B, I guess that the reps from Engadget were not that impressed with any of the new products from that brand. While they gave Huawei a B, they do agree that they did show the most varied lineup of products of the entire show.

The only brand that got an A, and it was an A- was Samsung and this was mostly due to the unveiling of three new smartwatches. They note that the grade reflects Samsung’s attention to consumer needs in creating three new watches that will appeal to a wider consumer market, addressing customer needs and complaints quickly, as well as, a fast turnaround time of only five months in improving on their hardware.

Overall, there were a lot of C grades for other major brands. And, I guess it is hard to impress the geeks at Engagdet, since the show itself only rated a B.

I feel a little lost that MWC 2014 was over. Properly, Tablet has hit the “peak” as user demand and growth in 2013. This year, MWC had more spotlights on Wearable Gadgets; properly the OEMs wanna “hit” the spot before Apple or Google announced their HOT demand products in 2014. I personally look for to those before buying my own “wearable” for health purpose this year.

What was the best product that you feel for the MWC 2014? Which one do you consider buying for yourself?

The MWC 2014 Day 3 wearable news is exciting where more new products were announced that are sure to make a big splash in the mobile market worldwide. Sony unveiled its Life Wearable Camera and the Smart Band and Motorola announced the launch of their Smart Watch.

There were other wearable devices released that included wrist bands and bracelets, most of which were geared towards health and fitness. But, the Sony Smart Band actually tracks your whole life, dubbed now as the digital photo journal.

Sony Smart Band SWR10

The Sony Smart Band SWR10 communicates by use of Bluetooth.

Its concept of creating life bookmarks that users can look at and refer to later in life is a fascinating one. It’s like a digital journal you wear on your wrist. Some of the data that can be tracked, includes, what you did, with whom and when.

The Smart Band can also track steps, and movements in relation to fitness. Want to know how tight you are sleeping? The Smart Band can tell you that too.

Roy Mostril, a rep from Sony says that there are also many apps that make it even more functional and will give you the ability to track virtually everything you do and save the information. For example, you can track and save music you listened to and any games that were played.

The battery life reported is impressive, with Sony claiming up to a week of use on one charge. It’s also reported to be durable as well, and can survive any conditions.

Could this be a digital memory bank, a second brain? The Smart Band is due to be released in stores in March of 2014.

Motorola Smartwatch In The Works

More MWC 2014 Day 3 News brings the announcement of the Motorola Smartwatch.

“It’s our intention to deliver interesting wearable technology – we are developing a watch which will be coming out in the next year, our main focus is that we will start to solve a real user problem in that there are no wearable products you want to wear – all because they are all extremely ugly.” Rick Osterloh, SVP product management, said at the event.

It seems that Motorola’s goal is to create a watch that will be stylish and look more like jewelry.

Motorola has confirmed this week on Twitter that they are definitely working on a new wearable watch that will be available this year. They did confirm that their goal is address market issues that consumers have, such as, something stylish in design and a long battery life.

Motorola also confirmed that the smartwatch will run Android, and not the older version Tizen, but the newest Osterloh.

This Motorola smartwatch will be another product in the Moto Line, quashing rumors that the line would end when Lenovo purchased the company from Google.
