New images of Google’s Pixel Slate tablet show off a USB-C port and round keys

By

Google’s Pixel 3 XL isn’t the only thing getting leaked ahead of the company’s big event next week: images of the company’s Pixel Slate tablet have also surfaced.

Rumors of Google’s first Chrome tablet have circulated in recent weeks. MySmartPrice posted several images of the device today, which show off the device using Chrome OS and a detachable keyboard. The site reports that it appears to have a 3:2 aspect ratio, comes with a pen, and features a pair of cameras, one in the front and the other at the back. It also features a USB-C port on the side, speakers on each side, and appears to be missing a headphone jack. Finally, MySmartPrice points to a pair of black sections on the back of the tablet, which they speculate could be for cellular connectivity.

Pictures of the detachable keyboard differ from the images that leaked back in September from bluetooth keyboard manufacturer Brydge, which showed off a detachable keyboard with square keys and which connected to the tablet via Bluetooth. However, it’s possible that Brydge’s keyboard could be a mockup or third-party device, rather than one made by Google. This new set of images show off a keyboard with circular keys (which matches a short video from Chrome Unboxed from last month) that has a physical connector, and which features a dedicated Google Assistant key.

In a separate leak, a tipster sent ChromeUnboxed (via 9to5Google) an image of the blue pen that appears in MySmartPrice’s report, which reportedly came from Google’s UK storefront as a recommendation alongside the existing white and silver models.

The convertible tablet appears to be aimed Apple’s iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro tablets. The device is rumored to come in several configurations, with up to 16GB of RAM and an Intel i7 processor, and might come with a fingerprint sensor.

Google’s event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 9th at 11AM ET, where it’s expected to unveil the Pixel 3 phones and charging stand, the Slate tablet, the Google Home Hub, updates to the Pixelbook, Chromecast, and more, most of which has already been leaked.

The PlayStation Classic has a secret debug menu that can be reached with specific keyboards

By
Just a day after the release of the PlayStation Classic , the Retro Gaming Arts YouTube channel has discovered that you can access the emulator’s settings menu by plugging a keyboard into a free USB slot and hitting the Esc key. Doing so reveals a host of settings for the built-in open-source PCSX ReARMed emulator, potentially allowing access to options, including save states, controls, and cheats. The discovery has raised hope that some of the criticisms of the retro console , such as a limited game library and poor image quality, could soon be addressed with third-party modding. In the discovered menus, an option to “Load CD Image” is clearly visible, which suggests it might be possible to load additional games or perhaps just the better-performing 60Hz NTSC variants. An option to enable scanlines, the horizontal lines that allow an LCD screen to emulate the look of a traditional CRT monitor, is also present. Despite the discovery, it’s unlikely that the hardware limitations o...

With Toys R Us gone, Amazon wants to send out a holiday toy catalog of its own

By
Now that Amazon has helped kill off Toys R Us , it wants to borrow the retailer’s iconic print holiday toy catalog . The online behemoth is interested in creating its own print catalog to mail out and also be handed out at Whole Foods (which it owns), according to Bloomberg . Toys R Us was plagued with billions in debt when permanently closed last month — in part because of competition from online stores like Amazon . For many kids, its “Big Book” toy catalog was a staple of fall. The 100-page catalog would arrive near the end of October for kids to look through and create a wishlist before December. Now that the retailer is done, various companies are trying to scoop up the customers that headed to their shelves every December. Party City, for example, will open 50 pop-up toy shops for the holidays. Target will have more store space for toys . It’s just especially amusing that Amazon, having helped kill off these physical retailers, is trying to learn from them to make even mor...

Amazon’s plans for a New York office are under new scrutiny

By
A month ago, when Amazon announced that it would build regional offices in New York and Virginia at great expense to the taxpayers there, I wrote that it had misunderstood the moment : Perhaps the furor over Amazon’s regional offices will blow over. But it’s hard not to feel today as if the company misread the room — overestimating the public’s appetite for a billion-dollar giveaway to one of the world’s biggest companies, and underestimating the public’s ability to raise hell on- and offline. Amazon may yet feel that pain, in the long run. Today, Amazon met the room: 150 protesters who showed up to the first New York City Council hearing about the plan. According to reports from the scene, demonstrators’ concerns start with the $3 billion in incentives that New York plans to give Amazon in exchange for locating there — and, it says, creating 25,000 jobs. Here’s Leticia Miranda in BuzzFeed : ”You’re worth a trillion dollars,” New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson told the ...
