Another tablet has entered the competition for business. A few tablets on the market or soon will be are Apple iPad & HP Slate. Should they be worried?
JooJoo tablet is in production and ready to be shipped on by the end of this month.
Formley the CrunchPad the JooJoo will come loaded with , a 12.1? multi-touch capacitive display with native resolution of 1366 x 768, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, 4GB SSD, front-facing camera, accelerometer, support for Flash.
The support for flash really hurts the Apple iPad because as of now it does support flash at all. Only thing is that the JooJoo doesn’t support 3G as of yet, Considering the built in USB port we may be able to connect or USB 3G cards to it.
Microsoft and Hp has teamed up and launched a tablet. This tablet is ironically a surprise because all us geeks are awaiting the release of the Apple tablet. The BATTLE of The TABLETS!. According to Ballmer it’s more powerful than a phone and almost as powerful as a PC. It’s perfect for reading and actually has pinch-and-zoom, yes, multitouch. The price wasn’t mentioned, but it’ll be available “later this year.” Of course, it’s running full Windows 7. Check out video below.

Well this sure isn’t something I’ve seen before. With all this “2010 is the year of the tablet” talk, did you feel that you were going to have to make the choice between a tablet and a laptop/netbook? Well Lenovo may just have the answer: Get both! The answer comes in their IdeaPad U1 Hybrid, a device that has yet to be revealed at CES (which starts on January 7th in Las Vegas). No one has actually gotten their dirty little mittens on “Hannah Montana” laptop, as I am dubbing it (because when you dock/undock the tablet/screen, its a whole different “person”! Get it?). In fact, after a quick Google News search, only Engadget has published an article about this interesting little hybrid.
Due to the dual nature of the IdeaPad U1, its specs need to separated into 2 lists:
While in full laptop mode (or, as “Hannah Montana”):
CULV Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Windows 7 Home Premium
3.8 pounds
When the screen/tablet is removed (or, as “Miley Cyrus”):
Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chip
16 GB SSD
Boots Lenovo’s Skylight Linux interface
Price: $999
Release: Sometime in June
Tune back to The Gadget 411 for more detailed specs when Lenovo officially announced the U1 Hybrid at CES!
(In all honesty, I can’t wait until they release the IdeaPad U2. Talk about a product placement made in heaven Bono!)
With all the concepts of what the Apples upcoming product the iSlate, iTablet or what ever apple may call it, everyone is really ready to see what this device will look like, the cost, and what the specs will be. Rumors have it that apple booked the Yerba Buena Center for Arts, San Francisco for a major product announcement to take place on January 26, 2010.
The tablet is rumored to have all the abilities of a typical Mac, but of course Touchscreen. This means that the tablets will a have a touchscreen UI. The tablet will most likely feature hand gestures to make navigation a breeze. The tablet is also rumored to have a 10.1 inch screen and be around in the $1,000 range.
