non-Apple iTablet to be released

Expected to be available from April, the iTablet runs Windows 7 on a
1.6GHz Intel chip. The iTablet will have space for a 250GB hard drive,
802.11b/g Wi-fi and optional 3G mobile broadband.

The device will support Flash, unlike Apple's iPad, and will have 3 USB
ports and a 1.3Mp webcam.

HDMI output is offered as an optional extra.

For the fashion conscious, the 10.2-inch or 12.1-inch, 252x192x35mm
tablet will be offered in a choice of black, white, blue, pink, yellow,
red or grey.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed.

This one is interesting, too:

http://www.buy.com/prod/viliv-x70ex-...-1-2ghz-intel-
atom-processor-1gb-ram/q/loc/101/211880405.html

Available with up to 128GB SSD drive....which runs the price up quite a
bit, of course.

It's a real computer, not a hobbled up appliance with a Box Office.

That company has had an iTablet for a while. It's a good product if you
don't mind the relatively short battery life, and the weight. It's sold
to a different market than the iPad will sell to, with a lot of vertical
market applications.

It's successor interests me more, I don't think I'd go back to a
resistive touchscreen at this point, and XP is a little dated for my
tastes, but otherwise...

I can see myself picking up the next version of something like this.

Honestly I'm holding off buying anything for the next 6 months or so to
give Apple's competitors time to build better and cheaper competition.

I'm convinced, if Ipad sells like the fanboiz dream, a new generation of
Networked Appliances will replace the user-based computer. It'll be just a
desktop display and keyboard with a touchscreen that instantly boots Safari
and connects to your account on the cloud. Ipad users will fall over
themselves as they will no longer have to do all this worrying about
syncing with iTunes as it will all be stored, run, and displayed on their
Mac appliance in front of them, from the big Cloud server in the sky!

Your personal information, linked by those wonderful professional IT people
at Apple, will have all your stuff, all your media you USED to depend on
the ****ty iTunes that gave you so much trouble syncing and
controlling....all on the server. It will boot at a blink....ready to work
for you.

Jobs will make a hugely hyped announcement the media will faun all over for
weeks as a "new concept", finally giving the media-computing cooperative
what it has wanted all along....Complete control of all user equipment
because the users will have no way of stealing their stuff, once and for
all.

The longer you wait, the more chance you have of joining this new Cloud
Utopia......Bring your credit card.

No, I don't. I hate what Apple, and probably Google, too, are doing to
computing.....trying to eliminate the computer sitting on your desk so they
ALL, not just Apple, can SELL you what you already have....use of your
programs and data and pictures and music and movies and everything.

They want a new era of appliance operators.....and iPhone, iTouch, iPad are
the wildly successful test units telling the corporations, ALL of them,
because they are wildly successful, THIS IS THE TIME to pull it off.

You're talking to Larry, so both are obviously true, as is being a brainless
moron and an idiotic troll.

You hate that they're trying to make computing accessible and usable to
as

tools,
rather than esoteric devices that only trained professionals can use?



Ask yourself why the masses are becoming more stupid every day, so stupid
they are all going to accept this corporate appliance mentality....loaded
with spam and costing like hell....just like their TV appliance on any
cable company.
