At the IFA conference in Berlin Germany, we have seen a slew of new Tablet PC‘s to be announced. Enoa showed off their new 10 inch Tablet PC called the Interpad.
The Interpad runs on a display resolution of 1024×600 on a Nvidia Tegra 2 chip, and also plays full HD Movies in MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1 formats. The core operating system of this new device is Google Android 2.2 Froyo. Which means, it will will more then likely be capacitive multi-touch.
Other features of the Interpad include 16GB storage, HDMI, mini-USB, Bluetooth, G-Sensor and a 12 hour battery life. It also has a ARM Cortex-A9 (1 GHz) processorIt measures around 253x164x12,5mm and has a weight of 700g
When we took a look at this device, it really looked like the UI was lacking, but they assured us that this will be ironed out in the coming weeks. The Software state is also lacking as well, but we did notice a phone icon, which means you will be able to make telephone calls with it, similar to the Dell Streak.
The cost on this Interpad WI-FI will likely be in the $500.00 range and released this Fall. The price point puts it into direct competition with the Apple iPad, and the Toshiba Folio 100, which are more recognizable brand names, and have a wider distribution pipeline. E-Noa plans to launch a model with 3G and GPS capabilities in early 2011.
With many new tablets entering the arena, it is hard to know what one is best for you. Although this little dandy has access to the Google Android Market as the core reliance of upgrading applications.
