This weekend the world is getting its first look at a tablet that could rock consumer electronics in the new year. And it isn't made by Apple. But, sans the iPhone operating system, it could be an indication of what the Mac world will witness if and when Cupertino finally validates the endless speculation rampant on the world wide web.
CES 2010 is likely to see a fair few internet tablets being announced, but SlashGear has heard about one particular model that has more than a little promise.
Slashgear has published the impressive specs on the forthcoming tablet. Some of the details include:
- 6.3 x 9.7 x 0.6 inches and 1.7 lbs
- Android OS with Gesture Support
- WiFi b/g, Bluetooth, UMTS/HSDPA
- Digital Compass, Accelerometer, Proximity, Ambient light, Water sensors
- USB, HDMI, 3-megapixel autofocus camera, video recording
- 32GB SSD, SD Slot
One of the coolest attributes of the device is that it's one of the first to utilize Pixel Qi's 3qi screen, which has been previously been rumored to be on the drawing board for inclusion in Apple's tablet.
Navigation is either via the touchscreen or a trackpad, and Notion Ink have added a matte-finish anti-glare, oleophobic and scratch-resistant coating to the Pixel Qi display. Of course, the panel itself can be viewed indoors as a regular LCD, or outdoors in either transflective mode with reduced color vibrancy or fully reflective 64-level grayscale mode.
