Graphic Tablets

Recently The New York Times reported that Google CEO Eric Schmidt confirmed the rumors that the company's tablet will run Android OS.

It would be worth noting that unlike Apple's iPhone operating system and Palm's WebOS, Android is an open source.

The Silicon Valley tech giant has also been developing another operating system that would be installed on low-powered netbooks and tablets - Chrome OS, which represents a browser-based operating system that Google mentioned in November.

This is a prototype of a tablet that features an Intel Atom processor and a 12-inch touchscreen.

Besides being much thinner than previous devices, this device got an Intel Atom processor instead of VIA Nano processor featured in other models.

At Google's I/O conference, Nvidia decided to present its brand new dual-core Tegra 2 prototype tablet, which runs Android.

The company's latest device features a 1Ghz Tegra 2 platform which represents a combination of a dual core Cortex A9 ARM-based processor and Nvidia graphics.

In attempt to push Apple's iPad aside, Haleron has recently unveiled its Android-powered iLet Mini HAL tablet with a TFT LCD touchscreen that has a resolution of 800x480 and a VIA 600 MHz processor.

BestTabletReview says that the new 7-inch tablet also boasts 128MB of DDR2 RAM and a 2GB flash internal drive.

A lot of interest among graphic artists has always been linked to graphic tablets (or what these are usually called pen tablets). These gadgets are usually developed for a rather small target market, so the interest among general public often fades away quickly.

Recently, however, Wacom introduced a new pen display, dubbed PL-900, which might have the charisma to maintain a high level of interest among users. This is mainly due to the fact that the PL-900 provides not only the ability to write and navigate onto a 19-inch monitor, but in addition offers a lot of striking features.

While the wireless broadband Internet service, Clearwire Corp. presented its brand new and long-anticipated WiMax wireless information network in two cities, the Finnish multinational communications corporation, Nokia, has discontinued selling its only portable device that has the ability of using the network without accessories.

Yesterday, January 21st, 2009, the spokeswoman for the Finish company, Laurie Armstrong, on its official website confirmed that Nokia stopped its sale of the N810 Tablet WiMax Edition.
