Google and ASUS to release second-generation Nexus 7 tablet in July, says Reuters

If its sources are to be believed, Mountain View is aiming to ship eight million units by the end of the year, showing it has a lot of confidence in the upcoming model. Other leaked info claims more screen resolution, a thinner bezel and an unspecified <a href="http://greenzoneregypt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Qualcomm</a> CPU instead of the current model's<a href="http://greenzoneregypt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> NVIDIA Tegra 3</a>, possibly to save power. There's no info on pricing or other specs and Google's not speaking at this point, of course -- but if it proves accurate, hopefully the two companies have learned their lesson from the current model's runaway success and will ramp production accordingly.<br /> </div></div>

Nexus 7 dock reaches the Google Play Store: also, unicorns are real

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Nexus 7 dock hands-on" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/nexus-7-dock.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The official Nexus 7 dock has been one of the more elusive beasts in the accessory world, especially for anyone who wanted it from an official source. Google just brought that months-long pursuit to a close -- the dock is now sitting in the Google Play Store. So long as you have $30 to spend and can endure up to one or two weeks of waiting, you too can give your Nexus 7 an ASUS-designed home with both micro-USB and audio line out. Just don't try to overcompensate by buying docks en masse; Google caps the order limit at two.</div></div>

ASUS FonePad official: 7-inch tablet with phone functionality, priced at $249 (hands-on)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ASUS FonePad official 7inch tablet with phone functionality, priced at $249 for 16GB handson" data-src-height="533" data-src-width="800" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/img9041800-1361800437.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">We already knew ASUS was prepping a product called the FonePad, a 7-inch tablet with built-in phone functionality (yes, just like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0). Well, ASUS just formally unveiled it here at Mobile World Congress, which means we've got a few more details to share than we did previously. First off, the speculation about its specs was all true: this does indeed have an Intel processor -- a 1.2GHz Atom Z2420, to be exact -- along with 1GB of RAM, a PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and an HSPA+ radio. What's more, the 4,270mAH battery is said to get up to nine hours of runtime, which would put this in the same league as other Atom tablets we've tested recently.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">In terms of hardware features, the FonePad has a smooth metal back (available in gray and gold), making it drastically different in appearance from the similarly sized Nexus 7. 'Round back you'll find a panel where all the usual antennae are, and hidden underneath are both the micro-SIM slot and the microSD reader. That microSD slot, by the way, supports 32GB cards, which should come in handy considering this has just 16GB of built-in storage. Additionally, the tablet has a 1.2-megapixel front camera, attached to a 7-inch, 1,280 x 800 IPS display. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The FonePad will be available in Europe for £179 / €219. Here at MWC, ASUS also confirmed a US dollar price of $249, though we had heard rumblings it wouldn't actually be sold there. It arrives in March, but the specific on-sale date hasn't been revealed yet. We're hoping to test one ourselves soon enough, but until then, stay tuned for the usual round of hands-on shots.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update: </b>Our hands-on photos and video are in! Enjoy!</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-d1c01ab7" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/d1c01ab7/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=16094601&disablebranding=0&view_secret=16094601" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>

Pwnie Express launches the Pwn Pad, takes hackproofing on the road

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Pwnie Express launches the Pwn Pad, takes hackproofing on the road " data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/pwnie-express-pwn-pad.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Pwnie Express-made security tools like the Power Pwn have mostly been stationary creatures that aren't much help when checking for network vulnerabilities on the move. There's now a more mobile version, though, in the Pwn Pad. The kit combines a Nexus 7 with USB-based Bluetooth, Ethernet and WiFi to gauge the security of a network beyond what Google's tablet can manage on its own. Ubuntu Linux is available in the Pwn Pad's software loadout, but part of the appeal comes from running a suite of tools in Android that aren't always available on the platform, such as Kismet. The $795 price will seem steep to those who bought the plain Nexus 7 at a quarter of the price, although it might end up being a discount for security gurus who want to leave bulkier tools -- even their laptops -- at home.</div><div class="open" dir="ltr" id="pr_box" style="text-align: left;"> <div id="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div id="pr_text"> <em><strong>Penetration Testing Product Company Pwnie Express is Headed for RSA 2013 with New Products and an Exciting Video Contest</strong></em><br /> <em>Pwnie Express Heads to RSA with the New Enterprise Pentesting Appliance (EPA) and Announces the Release of the Pwn Pad and an Exciting Video Contest.</em><br /> <em>The Enterprise Pentesting Appliance (EPA)</em><br /> <em>The EPA builds on the value proposition of our earlier products in that it's designed to make the work of security testers easier, faster and more comprehensive.</em><br /> <em>Berlin, Vermont (PRWEB) February 22, 2013</em><br /> <em>Pwnie Express is showing up at RSA2013 with a satchel full of pentesting goodies!<br /> Pwnie Express is leading with the all new Enterprise Pentesting Appliance (EPA). " The EPA addresses the Advanced Persistent Threat" according to Jonathan Cran, CTO and Software Lead for Pwnie Express, "The EPA builds on the value proposition of our earlier products in that it's designed to make the work of security testers easier, faster and more comprehensive." Equipped with Pwn Plug innovation, the EPA enables coverage of a large number of remote offices, persistent pentesting functionality and centralized management capabilities. According to Cran, the EPA has a dual-core 2.66Ghz processor and 8GB of ram, more than enough to get the job done with Nessus, NeXpose, or other commercial scanners. Support for KVM also means Windows VMs with commercial Windows tools can be added. Pwnie Express has equipped the EPA with a 4G adapter, and both a wireless and bluetooth card that support monitor mode and injection (wireless). The EPA also supports common ZigBee, SDR and RFID radios.</em><br /> <em>Pwnie Express is also announcing the release of the industry-re-defining Pwn Pad, a tablet, loaded with wired and wireless pentesting tools. Adding to the robust line-up of tools that address the human threat (insider threats, social engineering and security awareness), the Pwn Pad provides professionals an unprecedented ease of use in evaluating wired and wireless networks. "Building and innovating devices like the PwnPad at Pwnie Express is what makes our work unique, valuable, and fun. It rocks" said Awk (Oliver Wies) the developer of the Pwn Pad and the Pwn Phone, a pentesting workhorse that has been around since Pwnie Express' inception. "The Pwn Pad contains bleeding edge tools for enterprise wired and wireless attacks not found on any other ARM pentesting devices" Wies said when asked to describe the product. The sleek form factor of the Pwn Pad makes it an ideal product choice when on the road or conducting a company or agency walk-through. This high-speed, lightweight device, featuring extended battery life and 7" of screen real estate offers pentesters an alternative never known before.</em><br /> <em><span>Pwnie Express' latest contest,<span> </span></span>"Don't Get Pwned – Pwnie Up"<span><span> </span>features a cyber security awareness video showing several security breaches occurring in less than 3 minutes. This fast-paced video, both educational and entertaining offers participants a chance to win a Pwn Plug. PwnieExpress will feature demos of the EPA and Pwn Pad at 11:30 and 1:30 on each day of the exhibit. The contest video is available for viewing both on line and at their booth (#2747) at RSA.2013.</span></em><br /> </div></div></div>

Nexus 7 WiFi + 3G model goes on sale in Japan February 9th

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Nexus 7 WiFi 3G model goes on sale in Japan February 9th" data-src-height="345" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus7.jpg" /></div>Google's Nexus 7 tablet will soon be freed from the tyranny of WiFi range in Japan, as the 32GB WiFi + 3G model (supporting W-CDMA and HSPA+ networks) is finally launching there this Saturday, aka February 9th. Nothing's changed from the WiFi-only version apart from the additional micro-SIM slot, of course, and although there's no confirmed pricing, it's expected to cost 29,800 yen (around $318, a little more than in the US) when it pops up online. Given the rate at which new Nexus devices disappear from the Play store, those eager for one from the first batch should think about clearing their diaries, and adding "click refresh" to their weekend to-do list, a thousand times over.<br /> </div></div>
