The great thing about having an open source operating system is that so many different manufacturers can install it on their product and users get a wide array of choices to choose from. The not so great thing is that it might take some time before that operating system finds a champion. Well, yet another company has announced the newest fad in mobile computing: an Android tablet. German company Neofonie has plans and the oh-so necessary renders for their WePad.
The specs are not bad:
- 11.6” 1366×768 LCD Display
- 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450
- 16 GB Flash w/ expandable SD
- Webcam
- 2 USB Ports
- WLAN, Bluetooth 2.1, GSM
- SIM Card Slot
- 6 hour battery life
- Flash support
- Multitasking
Of course, the last two are snipes at their obvious competitor: the Apple iPad. Still, Neofonie wants to bring its own legitimate elements into this field. It will have a WePad App Store and be Google-certified with the Android Market. It also has a “publishing ecosystem” plan to become a mainstream eReader. Of course, as with all Android products, the most important point will be price.
