Steve Jobs announced the launch of many new “Dead On Arrival” (DOA) Tablets.
So, let’s check the best candidates for this funeral ranking.
First one: Toshiba Folio 100
An Android 16GB tablet to be launched in November (UK) with these Pros & Cons.
PROS:
Bigger touchscreen than the iPad (10.1 inches)
I doesn’t quite have the resolution of the iPad (1024 x 768)
A 1.3 Mp web-cam for video calls.
Displays Flash animations.
Cheaper (329 GBP): 100 GBP less than the iPad.
USB 2.0 port (not in the iPad or Galaxy).
CONS:
Less intuitive operating system (FroYo).
Less sophisticated design.
Plasticky-feeling chassis
Access to less apps, many of them designed for Android iPhones, so not optimised to run on big-screen devices.
Only seven-hour battery (40% less than the iPad)
Only wi-fi version (3G option later).
Heavy: 750g.
IN A FEW WORDS:
Big but not sexy.
More movie-centric than media-centric.
Not an iPad killer.
AND REMEMBER:
“It’s the wine, not the bottle”.
So, hurry up, and register in the INMA/INNOVATION Harvard Tablet Summit.
The deadline is coming.
