Dell's new 6mm thick Venue 8 7000 Android tablet revealed

With Apple’s domination of the hardware headlines these past few weeks, it looks as if other companies find it hard to compete. However, Dell chooses to not be affected by this news.

Michael Dell with Intel’s Brian Krzanich introduces their brand new tablet dubbed the Venue 8 7000. The manufacturer believes that the latest device can actually compete side by side with today’s high-end tablets. Venue 8 7000 promises remarkable features starting with its jaw-dropping 6mm thick build which makes it the world’s thinnest tablet, making iPad Air look like a bulky device.

But it does not stop there. Even with its ultra-thin structure, the device is fully packed with features including that of a 359 ppi 8.4-inch OLED screen with 2560x1600 pixel resolution, making it a match with Galaxy Tab S pixel-for-pixel. And to make it even better, Dell also combines this high resolution display with Intel’s RealSense camera technology. In case you don’t know, Intel RealSense lets users scan and customize their images in 3D. It also utilizes two camera modules to capture depth like that of HTC One M8, letting users alter focal points as well as affix various effects to their photos. It can also scan your surroundings with an immediate feeling of depth. Intel is enthusiastic when it comes to enhanced reality projection especially when it comes to capturing images as well as gaming action.

And also, thanks to Intel, the tablet is powered by the updated quad-core Z3500-series Atom SoC which is the latest Intel chipset for Android tablets.

But all this sneak peak provides are only the tip of the iceberg. All other things that this tablet can do are left hidden underneath and are yet to be tapped. We can only be assured by Intel’s announcement at CES earlier this year with the company’s promising devices using the RealSense before the year ends. So apparently, they will release the Venue 8 7000 later this year.

PowerSquare lets you charge several gadgets on one pad

Yes, you read it right. The wireless charging market is set to welcome its newest entry, PowerSquare, the pad that allows charging multiple devices by placing the latter anywhere in the surface of the pad, eliminating the need for docking a device appropriately. The new device was created to meet the demands of customers, who own many devices and are always on the go. The trick is that a person can charge multiple devices given that such devices touch the surface of the pad. This was made possible thru the Adaptive Position –Free (APF) system, a technology which is patent-pending that PowerSquare runs. Though the said product is still in its early stage of development, customers will find it energy-worthy to avail the product since PowerSquare uses transmitter coils and is also not too costly.

But what is important to mention is that regardless if they are new or not, devices should have Qi-wireless charging compatible. This signifies that devices such as Nokia Lumia devices, most Samsung Galaxy phones, Motorola Droids, Nexus (4,5,7) and some LG smartphones can enjoy such limited opportunity of using the PowerSquare.

PowerSquare is a component of the Wireless Power Consortium that formulates the Qi interface standard and incorporates OEMs such as Asus, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry, and Sony. So when PowerSquare is out for purchase, they can finally obtain the official certification for Qi-wireless charging compatibility.

PowerSquare will be released not later than the end of 2014 with no specific date of launching. Though it is still imprecise as to how much you’ve got to spend to own it, you can already head to their official website and reserve a spot by entering your email address so that you can be the first to order it. So to those who are already tired of docking their phones to wall chargers, what are you waiting for?
