Sleek OpenTablet 7 Enters The Booming Tablet PC Market
Guess what? Tablet PCs are hotter than ever, and while the market never really took off when it tried years ago, this thing just might be different. Things are slimmer, faster and more power efficient, and more companies are looking to get into the game. We're still curious to see exactly how these will fit into a world that is already populated with netbooks and smartphones, but OpenPeak definitely has an option that has our interest.
The OpenTablet 7 is one of the nicer slates we have seen, boasting a multi-touch panel and an Intel Moorestown platform beneath the shell. According to OpenPeak, it's expected to be adopted by multiple branded customers and service providers and ship in the second half of this year. As for specifications, you'll find a LED backlit 7" screen, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and cellular connectivity, HDMI output and dual cameras for capturing both high-definition video and still images.
There's also on-board USB, a MicroSD card slot and a weight of just 1.15lbs. Size wise, it measures in at 9" x 5" x 0.59", and it's available with either a desktop docking station or handset docking station. What's unique about this option is the open framework, which "enables designers and developers to create highly interactive applications using Adobe Flash CS4, eliminating the need to learn new programming languages or complex APIs." A new tablet that lets coders take the wheel? Yeah, we're interested.
