The "Iphone killer", "iPad" killer nonsence has to stop.Why is every released phone compared to Apple`s products?The iPad does not need to be killed,it was dead even before it was released.

Re: Any thoughts on the WePad?
 

It's certainly much less self-centric than the Apple product it's competing.

Maybe that works better in Asia and Africa, where culture is less individualistic compared to the western society.

This should have been in Competitors...

TMO may have deteriorated into a mobile phone discussion forum, but I still remember when it was ITT...

PS. ITT = internet tablet talk

The specs seem good, lets see if they deliver. I really cannot understand what is taking all those companies so long (counting also Notion Ink, Dell, HP, etc) -- why wait for the summer and let the iPad gain momentum? Stupid, lazy, or what? If the other producers could get their act together, then I agree that the iPad would not need a killer.

We're actually looking into reviewing the WePad over that Raiden's Realm. I'm really excited about it and would love to get my hands on one for review. :D

Interesting, but why have they gone with Atom?
IMO it would be better for battery life to go with ARM.

Financial Times Germany (print) reports today that the WePad Tablet will be powered by MeeGo. A good choice if you ask me :)

Found two (german) links:

Standardised ports and a decent price tag = WIN

If they were to market this with a nice Matt white finish with the TaT velvet UI, then I guess they would generate a lot more interest from the None Geek/Techie consumers.
