Wistron W1-Tablet found in display booth, due to run MeeGo on a Moorestown chipset

So it may not be in its final official build yet, but that hasn’t stopped the folks from Wistron creating the W1-Tablet. Interestingly enough this bad boy actually does run a build of MeeGo, however, something that’s piqued our interest substantially is that its rumoured to run on Intel’s Moorestown chipset — you know, the one that was due to be released in the recently scrapped LG-GW990. Whilst this device hasn’t been released to the public yet, expect to see some more footage of it over the next couple of days (especially tomorrow since it’ll be featured at the Ultra-Mobility event). In the meantime we’ve got a video of it after the break.

LG shows they can make a Windows 7 tablet too with the UX10

So, the HP slate may be dead, but Microsoft’s next big Windows 7 tablet looks to be the LG UX10. Boasting a 10.1-inch LED display, an Intel Atom Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, an SD card slot, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and micro HDMI out — this thing should be more than enough to wow those who so desperately wanted an HP slate. – Read More



ASUS Eee Tablet: the digital notepad

Remember back to the days of Apple’s Newton? Wouldn’t it be great if someone came out with a more modern, better equipped, 2010 model? That’s essentially what the ASUS Eee Tablet is (no not the Eee Pad, but the Eee Tablet). With an 8-inch 1024 x 768 TFT-LCD panel, the Eee Tablet sets out to offer the world’s best digital note taking experience. Should you get bored taking notes, the Eee Tablet comes equipped with a microSD slot (for all your ebooks. Yes, its also an ebook reader), as well as a 2-megapixel camera for the lazy man who can’t be bothered writing his lecture notes down. So it’s not E-Ink (thank god!) and it comes in 64-levels of grayscale, all-in-all it looks as though 23 years later the Newton (albeit sans PDA functionality) has some direct competition. Press release after the break.

MSI WindPad 110: An Android tablet done right?

Another day, another Android slate shown off at Taiwan’s Computex, but wait, this one’s got more on board than most of those uncivilised Chinese rip-offs. The unofficially announced MSI WindPad 110 is quite possibly the first Android-tablet “done right” — however, we’ll have to wait till the reviews roll in to be 100% sure. Unlike most 10-inch slates, the WindPad 110 runs Android 2.1 with a capacitive touchscreen display (yes!). It also has a couple of USB ports, a microSD slot thrown in for good measure, and video out capabilities. Oh, and in case you’ve got some major gripes over this thing running stock Android, just remember: “plain vanilla updates quicka.” While there’s currently some confusion as to whether the WP 110 is actually coming to market, should it be released we’re hearing that MSI plans to sell it for around $399. While we clear that up, how about watching the video after the break?

ASUS Eee Pad line gets official, runs Windows 7 in the process

Today’s shaping up to be a wild one down in the depths of Computex 2010 as ASUS has unwrapped its latest line (well first line) of Eee Pads. When they ship — which currently isn’t planned until the first quarter of 2011 — ASUS’ Eee Pads will come in both 10 and 12-inch variants. The latter size has piqued our interest substantially, especially since its running Intel’s Core 2 Duo CULV processor. Their currently claiming that you’ll be able to get about 10-hours of battery life from the 12-inch model — however, running Windows 7 we’re still slightly sceptical on that little tid bit. Oh, if you’re not fond of the “1-foot” slate, as we’ve mentioned there’s a slightly smaller 10-inch model [featured above] — sadly all we know at this point is that it runs Windows Embedded Compact 7, a la Windows CE.

If you’re still not sold on the ASUS Eee Pad think of them as laptops sans a keyboard (similar to the recently scrapped Lenovo U1 Hybrid or even an iPad in Apple’s docking station, but less ridiculous). Ranging from $399 - $499 you’ll be able to pick one of these up as we’ve already mentioned, early next year (sigh). Video and press release after the break.
