Wepad: now soaks up more of your time than the ipad

Well CES2010 is a distant memory but how I do miss you. CES2010 introduced us to such great things as crappy 3D TV concepts and a slew of other fledgling technologies concepts rushed out of the dark moldy basement of RnD. One thing that was at CES but didn’t seem to get much hype, was the slew of tablet PCs now renamed to PADS due to apples forth coming iPad (still trying to think of what was going on in marketing when they conceived that name). One I really liked was the crunchpad, at one time the CrunchPad seemed to be a real possiblity, it was big but not to big, it was cool, cheap, you could hack it to do WHATEVER you wanted, it ran windows or CHROME or whatever (I saw through linux on the biatch), it had everthing we wanted in a tablet…err PAD, then it died. But why, was the market not ready, was it to advance and beyond its time, did the Gods conspire to its downfall…what could have failed this awesome toy.

“And then the entire project self destructed over nothing more than greed, jealousy and miscommunication.”

iPad, uPad, we all need a wePad!

Well lets just settle and go with the only option available…the ipad. What’s that there are others, no, when did this happen…you mean to tell me there are more tablets, I mean PADs, that have been around for YEARS, why come I’m just hear about this now? Its true, there are lots of tablets out there and they’ve been around for years, its just that the design never was a key point for these manufactures…what idiots, WHEN WILL THEY learn its about the look then performance then price…duh. Anyway most early tablets run windows and the design was a unappealing escpciellly compared to apples knack for cool design and the ipad design is still inline with their theme and definatly had no iconic stock like apple is always able to gather.

But wait is apples iPad(really guys no better name)…the only option when it comes to a tablet..PAD…with sleek design and great software? No its not, there are lots of players out there like the wepad(…err) I think the wepad will definately be a strong contender to the iPad. The wePad runs Google Android and its just about 2 inches bigger than the ipad. For those out there like myself who weren’t considerign getting a ipad because of it complete locked down and just because we are haters of apple and all it stands for, then wePad maybe for us.

As far as specs and looks goes there are multiple Android tablets that have equal or far better specs then the iPad and this is one of the best Android tablets possibley coming to the reall market.The WePad has a screen of 11.6 inches (1366 x 768), an Intel Atom N450 at 1.66 GHz, GMA 3150, memory of 16 GB NAND Flash (or 32 GB internal + 32 GB optional SD card), a 1.3mp webcam, multi-tasking support, bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, optional GPS, motion sensor, two USB ports, flash card reader, a UMTS modem and six hours of battery life, though that claim doesn’t come with a pre-qualification of under what sort of workloads you could expect that sort of performance. Thats what I’m talking about, everything I need NOW unlike the iPad that you have to wait for them to figure out that impsooble technology of incorporating a simple camera in there first gen devices, not you will have to wait for subsequent generations for that and pay for it. Running android means that it supports FLASH and Adobe AIR and you’ll have access to the Andorid store in additon to its own app store, and being open source means that there is sure to be lots of apps for everyone.

On paper, this certainly looks like a legitimate iPad contender, if not a killer should people look beyond their blinding stare of apple ipad. This is a great device that will be great around the office or home as a supplimentary device to your main computer. I’m just curious to see the price points, the crunchpad was rumored to be priced around the $200USD mark so I hope that that peeps over at NEOFINE price this unit agresively to compete against the ipad.

I could not find anything about release date or even a website so for now this device exist only the wet dreams of the geek nation and is relegated to the vaporware category
