An expected street price below USD 300 makes it interesting.
From a review:
"OpenPeak on Tuesday gave companies a white box alternative to the iPad.
The OpenTablet 7 is seen both as a media consumption device and as a home control device: through a combination of 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HDMI output, the 7-inch tablet can grab both music and videos from the local network as well as steer home theaters and home automation systems.
It also carries 3G for those companies who want online-anywhere access.
Apps form a key part of the strategy as the company depends only on Flash for software: content made in Flash CS4 can reach the OpenTablet without needing extra work.
A generic app store will be available to download new titles, OpenPeak says.
The company hasn't said what apps will be ready out of the box but shows Facebook, Flickr, Pandora, YouTube and several other normally web-based apps as available.
The tablet hardware will run on an Atom processor using Intel's upcoming Moorestown platform and should be a full-fledged media device with a microSD slot for storage and both front and back cameras for snapshots and video calls.
OpenPeak goes so far as to suggest it could be used as a phone and has both a docking station and a handset dock to that end.
Multiple unnamed companies are already lined up to offer the OpenTablet and should start selling it under their own names in the second half of the year. Costs and the software loadout are likely to vary."
wow! if only it was a bit smaller. This is what I was hoping the 810 could be. I love the face that it has both a front facing and real camera. I hope skype and other video chap applications will be available. Depending on price/applications I can see this as my next tech purchase. Thanks for the info!
