Wikipad 7 Header

We first caught a glimpse of the Wikipad back at CES in 2012, when it was formally known as the 10-inch WikiPad:3D, but a lot has changed in the past year. Today, the Tegra-powered slate hit the shelves as a 7-inch Android gaming tablet with some pretty impressive specifications.

The Wikipad was essentially designed to compete with the likes of the NVIDIA Shield and the Archos GamePad. The team behind this new gaming tablet are hoping that it has got what it takes to battle against its competitors and be the king of the mobile-gaming market.

But does this 7-inch tablet have what it takes to make its way to the top? I’ve been testing it for the past three weeks to find out.

On Thursday, the day after the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 began shipping in Europe, we learned that the South Korean company has been region-locking its new phablet to prevent owners from using international SIM cards. We were all pretty bemused by the move, but it turns out it may not be as bad as it seems.

Providing you activate the device with the right SIM, you should have no problem using an international one when you go abroad.

Beats Electronics has brought its partnership with HTC to a close by buying back the 24.84% stake that the Taiwanese smartphone maker held in the company for $265 million. The two-year partnership saw Beats Audio technology integrated into HTC handsets, but Beats itself never really got anything out of it.

The One max, HTC’s answer to the Galaxy Note 3, is expected to get its official unveiling on October 15. The device has already been pictured a number of times in a whole host of leaks, and from what we know about it so far, it’s well worth getting excited about.
