| During a presentation from BenQ today detailing how they are going to dominate Asia, an interesting Android tablet called the nReader R100 made it on display.
The nReader has a 10.1? 1024 x 600 display, Android 2.0 currently (will ship with 2.2 though) with a tweaked interface, SDXC compatible card slot, Wi-Fi, 3G, USB, mini-USB, HDMI (supports up to 720p) with a 12 hour battery that charges to 85% after 2 hours. Weighs 700g with a 14.4mm thickness. Sounds good but wait until you hear that it is loaded with a resistive touch panel (okay some people will like to use a stylus) and doesn’t support multi-touch. It will focus on providing content and will be looked to book stores in Taiwan and China. The tablet will go into mass production in November with an expected release in Q1 next year, first in Taiwan, China, Japan and more countries after that. Price for the Wi-Fi model was quoted to be around 1/8 of the price of the iPad, so perhaps a couple of hundred bucks? News Source: Netbook News |
