Classic & vibrant new shirts designs by Glenmuir

With nine shirts in 70 colour options Glenmuir’s Men’s Classic Shirts range continues to be ever-popular with golfers - and the latest collection features four vibrant new designs.

Spring/Summer 2011 sees the introduction of ‘Ralia’, ‘Atholl’, ‘Tomatin’ and ‘Garvald’ and Glenmuir has injected a riot of colour with bright Mango, electric Kingfisher blue and Hot Pink featuring across the board alongside more traditional colours.

Ralia is a 100% cotton honeycomb pique in eight solid colours with the Glenmuir 1891 logo embroidered on right sleeve. For clubs looking for teamwear, the shirt co-ordinates with ladies 'Sophie' shirt and Boy's 'Rory' to enable teams to have a consistent look. Sizes available are S-XXL, while the colours on offer are Hot Pink, White, Navy, Peapod, Mango, Black, Kingfisher, Light Blue.

Atholl is a 100% cotton single jersey featuring a pattern of three contrast colour narrow stripes and Glenmuir embroidery on right sleeve. Available sizes are S-XXL and the colour scheme comprises a White base with Navy, Hot Pink and Stone narrow stripes; Black with Mango, Peapod and Winter White; and Kingfisher blue with Mercury, Yellow and Stone stripes.

Tomatin is easily identifiable with its contrast shoulder panels and body seam tipping distinguishing the new 100% cotton honeycomb pique polo. With Glenmuir 1891 embroidery on the right shoulder this shirt co-ordinates with the Junior 'Leon'.

Garvald is a 100% cotton honeycomb pique shirt that not only looks great on the fairway, but can be worn casually off the course while still looking ultra fashionable. Fans of timeless solid colour polos with two stripes on the collar and cuff will love the classic 'Mod' design. The embroidered Glenmuir 1891 logo appears on the right shoulder, sizes are S-XXL and colours available comprise Navy with White/Hot Pink collar trim; Winter White with Peapod and Mango trim; Mercury, with yellow and White trim.
Glenmuir’s Men’s Classic Shirts are particularly popular at busy golf clubs where there is a strong demand for club and team cresting on good quality, hard-wearing shirts.

To reflect this, the colour stories for its existing Classic Shirts range - Lonie (nine colours), Angus (seven colours), Mull (18 colours), Moffat (12 colours) and the long-sleeved Lewis (seven colours) - have been increased too.

For Spring/Summer 2011 Glenmuir offers a fully-coordinating collection of clothes and accessories with three new and modern colour schemes: Hot Summer where bright pink combines with navy, white and stone; Tequila Sunrise, with stunning mango and peapod accent colours against white, khaki and black; and Cool Waves, where vibrant kingfisher blue sits alongside yellow, black, white and mercury.

Sony unveils S1 and S2 Honeycomb tablets

WSJ and Engadget already have images of the tablet.

The S1 tablet is a 9.4-inch screen with a curvy design, front and rear-facing cameras. The S1 will have a Tegra 2 SoC GPU, a "quick and smooth" touch panel UI with a "swift" web browser, according to Engadget. Not only will the tablet run games, applications and a web browser, but it can used as a remote control for your Sony electronics with the built-in infrared.sonytablets1

The S2 is a much different approach to a "tablet", where this model will have two smaller screens and be able to fold in half. The S2 will come with dual 5.5-inch screens with a 1024 x 480 pixel display, Tegra 2 SoC GPU, and two cameras.

Both the S1 and S2 will be fully capable of playing PlayStation games, although the catalog of what games will be available was not mentioned, we can assume it will support PlayStation 1 games, like the Motorola Xoom does.

The twin tablets will be support WiFi and 3G/4G and will be available this fall.

Sony unveils Honeycomb based S1, S2 Tablets

Sony has finally joined the tablet scene by unveiling two Android 3.0 Honeycomb based tablets codenamed S1 and S2 (dual screen). These two tablets would be PlayStation Certified so you can play PlayStation titles meant for Android platform. Users will also be able to stream music and videos through Sony's Qriocity multimedia content streaming service. Packing dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC processor, these new tablets would be available later this year in Fall (late September). At this moment, both tablets don't bear any brand name and Sony's referring to them as - Sony tablet to extend its VAIO products family.

Finally, even Sony has joined the rich and heavily competitive tablet segment. Two months ago, we reported about the S1 PlayStation tablet and here we have it. Today that report has finally turned true and we have the Sony tablet codenamed S1. Its 9.4-inch touchscreen display is big enough to enjoy web browsing and multimedia content. As of now, it's too early to determine whether this screen would be LCD or OLED display.



The S1 has a unique 'wrap design' that looks as if a magazine has been folded and the press images clearly show it. In a way, that wrap will proved a bit of an elevation to keep the top part higher for ease of typing over the onscreen keyboard. Under the hood, S1 houses a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 System on Chip processor which will power the Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. Sony has customized the touch panel UI to be "quick and smooth" and the web browsing will be powered with "swift" web browser. S1 tablet has two cameras for video chat as well as imaging - front facing and back panel.

Users will be able to browse, download and read eBooks from the Reader Store eBook store of Sony. The S1 tablet also has an Infrared Port (yeah!) to make it act like a universal remote for broader range of DLNA certified electronics.

At first, the S2 tablet appears to be a stretched Nintendo DS in a clamshell form factor. The S2 tablet has dual touchscreen displays where each screen is 5.5-inch and 1024x480 pixel resolution. Even S2 is equipped with dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC processor and it too has Android 3.0 Honeycomb running on it. What would be interesting is to use both panels independently for same or different purposes. For instance, if you are browsing on the top panel, then the bottom touchscreen panel will show on-screen keyboard for text input.

Sony has equipped both tablets with Wi-Fi and WAN (3G/4G) but there are several other details about the hardware that are missing. As of now, this is just an announcement and in due course of time, we'll get to see most important detail - the price of these Android 3.0 Honeycomb based tablets.

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet leaks out with Honeycomb, IPS screen, optional stylus and keyboard folio?

Remember the ultra-thin Lenovo ThinkPad X1 we detailed just a few hours ago? The document that dished those secrets also mentioned an "X Slate," which made us wonder if Lenovo's LePad was finally hitting the states... but This is my next seems to have stumbled across a grander piece of technology than that oft-delayed slate. According to a presumably leaked company presentation, Lenovo's planning to release an Android 3.0 tablet this July with a giant raft of specs -- a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 IPS capacitive multitouch panel, a Tegra 2 processor, up to 64GB of storage, front and rear cameras, a full-size USB 2.0 port, mini-HDMI out, a genuine SD card reader and up to 8 hours of purported battery life in a package about 14mm thick and weighing 1.6 pounds.

What's more, it will reportedly have an optional dual-digitizer with "true pen support" and an optional keyboard case, possibly aping ASUS's recent Slate and Transformer tablet input mechanisms by allowing for both simultaneously. There's also apparently plenty of software support for the business-minded, including IT integration as well as anti-theft and remote wipe options, and all this will apparently start at the competitive price of $499 -- assuming these documents are legitimate and still valid. You see, they look a little preliminary for a slate supposedly sampling in just a couple of months, and there are contradictions here and there, such as the mention of a 1080p display in one slide, and some watermarks from 2009 in others. Still, Lenovo, if you're indeed producing a tablet today, we're liking its proposed specs -- don't suppose we can get a Tegra T25 chip while you're at it? Find a few extra renders and plenty of slides at our source link.

1-2-KNOW: The transformer

TABLETS are fun to use, but don’t you just miss the keyboard? The Asus Eee Pad Transformer gives you the best of both worlds by combining the tablet formfactor and functionality with expandable keyboard docking station that also doubles as extended battery module.
The Transformer runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system coupled with Asus’ own Waveshare user interface to cater to social networkers as well as roadwarriors. Boasting NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, the Transformer is a speedy multitasking machine.

Its specifications include 25cm scratch-resistant glass IPS panel, five megapixel rear camera and 1.2 megapixel front camera, HD video playback support with mini HDMI output port and SRS Sound technology. Connect this 680g tablet to its docking station and it becomes a netbook.

Add in its touchpad, 3.5mm audio jack, two USB ports as well as a built-in SD Card reader for easy file sharing and storage expandability makes the Transformer a versatile media hub. The docking station also extends the Transformer’s 9.5 hours of battery life to 16 hours.

A Taste of Honeycomb

Remember our jaunt with the Motorola XOOM? Well its Mini Me offered the same Android 3.0 Honeycomb goodness. The T-Mobile G-Slate was yet another reason not to go back to an older Android device, thanks to its exceedingly intuitive interface. But let's get the specs out of the way first. The tablet utilizes the same NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core processors (1GHz at each core) as the XOOM, though we experienced a more fluid performance from the G-Slate. For some reason, the XOOM loved to Force Quit applications unexpectedly, but we only went through this on rare occasions with the G-Slate, primarily in the Android Market. The T-Mobile G-Slate also has Wi-Fi, Stereo Bluetooth 2.1, 4G (HSPA+), 3G, and Edge networks.

If you haven't had a chance to play with Honeycomb yet, it improves upon the uniform feeling we attainted from the previous versions of Android. First off, controls are less obtrusive. We have simple Back, Home, and Menu touch controls in the bottom left corner of the screen. We can bring up a menu of recently used applications in one touch, or summon our Applications control panel by tapping and holding on any one of the 5 Home screens. Customizing Home screens was a snap, as we were given a tabbed menu system containing all of our Widgets, Applications, Shortcuts, etc. and could drag them onto any one of the home screens located above in a diagram format. Not only was Honeycomb a sight for sore eyes, but it specialized in efficiency, getting us in and out with ease.

Unlike the XOOM, the G-Slate's battery performance was not as impressive, lasting less than a day before needing a charge. This was with mild Internet browsing, camera use, gaming, and standby time, so be prepared to throw the charger in on a nightly basis.

Internet

The T-Mobile G-Slate's Flash support made browsing almost as functional as what we would expect on our MacBook Pro. Videos could be played right from within the browser, and we had the option of popping out to YouTube if we needed more of a video fix. Browsing was very quick, and certain pages loaded just as fast as our laptop machines. We even had the luxury of multiple windows arranged in a tabbed structure, giving us the ability to alternate between open pages. The Forward, Back, and Refresh buttons reminded us that we were a world apart from the tiny, cramped smartphone screens of today, and we could even search for keywords on web pages, view page info, History, and add Bookmarks with ease.

As a dedicated Internet tablet, the G-Slate hits a home run with the same ferocity as the XOOM. If you live within HSPA+ zones, it'll whipcrack pages with lightning speed, though we were stranded based on our location, and could only take advantage of Wi-Fi. This is crucial, expecially for those that travel frequently. If 4G connectivity is limited, then so is your Internet access, and ultimately your productivity on the road. Ask yourself how much you'll be traveling with it. If Wi-Fi is the main focus, then the G-Slate would be great for anyone.
