More Tablets

I was totally wrong, I said that this year would be for the iPad and the 2011 would be for the rest of the tablets but that's not true, we will have among us the Samsung Galaxy Tab and few others that we are going to talk about:

ViewSonic ViewPad 100

Processor: Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz

Memory: 1GB DDR3

Display: 10.1 inch 1024x600-pixel Multi touch capacitive

Video: 1.3MPx Front Camera

Sensors: Gyrometer, accelerometer,

Battery: -_-

S.O: Android 1.6 AND Windows 7 (Dual boot!!)

Storage:  16GB SSD

Connexions: USBx2, Micro SDHC, SIM, miniVGA

Wireless: 802.11 b/g, bluetooth, A-GPS

This is more a netbook compressed ripping appart the Keyboard.

With these specs we can say that this device is like a netbook ripping apart the keyboard, just that. Something interesting is that we would be able to run Windows 7 Home Basic and Android 1.6 "Donut" (quite old to these times). It is quite estrange to see this version compiled with Intel CISC type processor although we don't have to worry about the applications thanks to the Dalvik VM.

Toshiba Folio 100

Processor: 1GHz dual Tegra 2 (ARM core based)

Memory: 512MB

Display: 10.1 inch 1024x600-pixel Multi touch capacitive

Video: 1.3MPx Front Camera

Sensors: Gyrometer, accelerometer,

Battery: 7 hours Video

S.O: Android 2.2 with Android Market

Storage:  16GB

Connexions: USB, SDHC, SIM, miniHDMI

Wireless: 802.11 b/g/n, bluetooth, 3G, DLNA

It's time to talk about a more phone-like tablet, branded by Toshiba, this is one more option to confuse and diverse the final costumer.

Also this tablet model is promising with the Processor Tegra 2 of Nvidia, which we have been waiting for a long time to show up their promises: 1080p video content encode and decode within the device and external display, dual core processing power and really good games capabilities, I can't imagine the Unreal Engine running on this device...

Those two devices are just the beginning of what's to come with "Tablet Revolution" (like once was the "Netbook Revolution"). Nowadays every company will want their touch into the market:

• Dell - Streak (1.6 Android)
• HP - PalmPad (WebOS)
• Pioneer - Dreambook ePad A10 (Windows)
• RIM - Blackpad (Blackberry OS)
• Lenovo - LePad (Android 3.0)
• Cisco - Cius (Android)
• Asus - Eee Note (Linux)
• MSI - WindPad (Windows)
• Archos - 7 Home Tablet (Android 1.5)
• Nvsbl - P4D V1 (Android 1.5)
• Hannspree - Hannspree tablet (Android 2.2)

As I said, everyone is waiting to get a piece of this renew market. From all these, I would give a chance to the Toshiba Folio 100 and maybe the Hannspree.
