Further details released about X2′s iTablet
Coming hot of the heels of Apple’s iPad announcement, UK-based computer supplier X2 has announced their new powerful range of portable tablets, called the iTablet.
They may well have borrowed the ”I” but this is one of the only similarities between the iTablet and iPad. Apple and many other companies have recently decided that there is a need for device that falls somewhere between a laptop and a mobile phone.
X2’s iTablet aims to be that device – it boasts a 10.2” XGA screen, similar to the iPad, but where the iTablet this differs from Apple’s is the sort of OS you can run on it. This tablet can run a plethora of operating systems including Window 7, Windows Tablet or open source Linux. Users will be able to use all their windows applications that they use on the main computer – this is a major advantage over Apple’s iPad – which will rely on the restrictive App store.
The storage capacity is a beefy 250gb, which will give users a significant amount of space to for their HD films, music and applications. With up to three USB 2.0 ports, a 1.3 mega-pixel camera and a HDMI output – you will be able to play HD video directly from the device on to a HD TV – which is lacking from Apples iPad.
Similarly to the iPad, the iTablet will come fully equipped with Bluetooth, 3g and 802.11 wireless networking. One of the crowning glories of the iTablet will be the full Adobe flash compatibility – which Apple is still refusing to use for their phones and the iPad.
We’re excited by the possibilities of the iTablet, mainly because of the OS support, it’s going to allow users to have complete software freedom – something Apple can’t and won’t offer.
With significant differences between the iTablet and the iPad – it’s no longer a one horse race and X2 have created a compelling alternative to Apple’s glorified iPhone. With the first shipments starting in April the iTablet will have a significant head start on the iPad and this will give X2 an opportunity to take some of the market share before Apple release the iPad.
