While LG is patiently awaiting the release of the tablet specific version of the Android operating system codenamed Honeycomb, it has, in the meanwhile gone ahead with its Windows 7 based tablet plans. The tablet running Windows was also seen sometime ago at the FCC undergoing trials and as per the latest tablet PC news, the second largest consumer electronics company has launched a new tablet in Korea.
Named E-Note H1000B, the LG tablet comes with a 10.1 inch resistive touchscreen display having a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution along with a stylus. As far as its processor goes, there are two options to choose from – either a 1.1 GHz Intel Atom Z510 chip or a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU coupled to a gig of RAM along with 16GB solid state disk. The tablet also includes a WiMAX option though its not built into the device but comes as an extra accessory.
Among the other connectivity options that the LG E-Note H1000B has on offer include 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0. Among its other features that the tablet packs in are 2 USB 2.0 ports, an SD Card Slot, an accelerometer as well as a 4-cell removable battery. As for its dimensions, the tablet measures 278.5 x 180.5 x 14.5 mm and weighs 850g including the battery, which isn’t bad considering its netbook like capabilities.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
