LG UX10
We sure hope you like Wintel tablets, because here’s another one from LG – the UX10. No word on the expected battery life, but to extrapolate from the FIC Tycoon’s numbers, it should be close enough to that magic 10 hour mark. Click through for the specs, most of which those who are following Computex 2010 will be able to recite from memory by now.
FIC Tycoon TVB00
FIC’s Tycoon TVB00 is the latest Wintel tablet we’ve seen at Computex 2010. Pairing Windows 7 and a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455, FIC have also stuffed 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 10.1-inch (1024×600) LED-backlit capacitive touchscreen, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, and a mini-HDMI port into the 850 gram (1.8 pound) package.
MSI WindPad 100
MSI has thrown its hat into the tablet ring with the WindPad 100, which will likely appeal to those of you who want a “real” operating system on your tablet, with Windows 7 Home Premium (and a proprietary touch UI layer) running on a 1.66GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor.
The Australian budget airline Jetstar has revealed plans to trial an iPad rental service. iPads will be pre-loaded with entertainment content and rented out for $10 for the length of the flight.
MeeGo
Intel’s Computex press release has revealed Acer’s plans to release Atom-based tablets running the MeeGo operating system. Here’s what Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci had to say: “Acer will be ready with MeeGo-based mobile devices [...] MeeGo’s open software platform will present our customers with another choice of a friendly, easy-to-use operating system. We are pleased to collaborate with Intel in our continuous drive to provide effortless technologies that empower people at work, home – anytime, anywhere.”
The latest addition to the Intel’s Atom family is Oak Trail, which is essentially the Moorestown platform with added support for Windows 7. It also supports 1080p video, HDMI, and Google and MeeGo operating systems.
iPad: over two million sold
Less than 60 days after the iPad went on sale in the US, Apple has announced the latest sales milestone of its disruptive tablet – over two million sold. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying Apple has a fearsome lead in the tablet race with this many devices in the wild, and over 5,000 iPad apps in the App Store.
HP Hurricane
GottaBeMobile is citing two “separate and reliable” sources who have confirmed that HP will not be releasing its Slate tablet this summer, instead putting its recent Palm acquisition to good use and preparing a tablet based on Palm’s webOS platform that powered the Palm Pre and Pixi devices.
The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are reporting that Verizon and Google are working on an Android-powered tablet to rival Apple’s iPad. Verizon chief executive Lowell McAdam told the WSJ:
“We’re working on tablets together, for example. We’re looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience.”
