- 1 Comment
Amid all these Apple tablet rumors, it is sometimes difficult to remember that other companies make decent tablets, often with very decent prices as well. Freescale Semiconductor has showcased designs for an affordable tablet computer which will be sold later this year.
The Freescale tablet will feature a seven-inch touchscreen, a built-in 3-megapixel camera, and sensors for ambient light. It will come with 512MB RAM and 64GB of storage through microSD. It will run Android or Linux OS. These specs are not all that bad, especially considering that it costs $199.
It will be designed to run a web browser, email client, an RSS reader, social networking tool, and an office suite. It is set to debut at the Consumer Electronics Show later this week. The tablet currently does not have a manufacturer but once it does, this charmingly priced little tablet could show up as early as late summer 2010.
