Uber Mini Tablet PC with “Touch” Screen brings ultra-lite, supra-convenient capabilities

Albatron’s “Tee PC” is all that you need with not an inch to spare

Albatron Technology is gearing up to roll out its first Mini Tablet PC, dubbed the “Tee PC”, whose prototype was first shown at Computex 2008 (June). Since then, this diminutive Tablet PC has been polished up, packaged and is ready for the market.

Unpack n’ Play
The “Tee PC” comes ready-to- use straight out of the box with all the hardware and software you need, including a docking station, power adapter and a touch pen. The Windows CE 6.0 operating system is pre-installed with WordPad, MediaPlayer and Internet Explorer. The “Touch” screen and touch pen take care of navigating the Windows interface. A software-based keyboard is provided for data input but a standard USB keyboard can also be attached. The Tee PC can be operated stand-alone using its internal battery or can be attached to a docking station.

Connect anytime and carry anywhere!
With expanding metropolitan network access and Tee PC’s Wireless or Blue Tooth facilities, you virtually have anytime/anywhere web browsing, email and other network conveniences. The 18.8x11.3x 1.3 cm dimensions and 343 grams give you an idea of how slim and portable the Tee PC really is.

Multimedia to go! Ready Camera … and Action!
A swivel camera is located on the frame of the touch screen and can be used for such things as visual chatting. Speakers are located in the docking station or you can attach external speakers or earphones to the jacks located on the tablet. The “Tee PC” also comes with two USB 2.0 connectors for the rest of your gadgets. The graphics facilities in this product can decode H.264, MPEG4 and VGA at 30 fps.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
