Need a tablet? Android based iLet Mini HAL shipping March 1 for $199
,----[ Quote ]
| With all of the tablet-fever recently, you
| may have sat back and thought to yourself,
| âdo I need one of these things?â Even with
| Apple trying to convince us that the next
| form of computing is going to be tablet and
| gesture based, many people including myself
| are still questioning if a tablet is
| something we really need.
|
| It looks like the company Haleron thinks we
| need a tablet in our lives and decided to
| enter the game with their 7â Android 1.6
| based iLet Mini HAL. It isnât the most
| powerful device; running a 600MHz VIA CPU
| with 128MB of RAM but for a low $199 price
| tag you canât really ask for too much. The
| Haleron iLet Mini HAL will also have 2GB of
| onboard memory as well as 10GB of âcloudâ
| storage for all of your stuff and will start
| shipping next week.

MeeGo: The Linux iPad?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's may be a twee name but MeeGo could be
| the next big thing.
|
| It sounds like something a child would say,
| or the name of a baby's toy, but MeeGo has
| much bigger aspirations in mind. For those
| that weren't completely sucked into the
| Mobile World Congress last week, and
| consequently missed the announcement, MeeGo
| is the name of a new - yes another - mobile
| phone operating system launched at the
| conference. In truth it's not really so much
| new as being a new collaboration. In this
| case between Intel and Nokia and their
| respective Moblin and Maemo operating
| systems.

iFreeTablet â the open source iPad competitor from Spain
,----[ Quote ]
| Competition for the Apple iPad is already
| threatening to come from many different, well-
| known companies. Google and HTC may have a
| tablet this year, Microsoft certainly has a few
| running Windows 7 from its partner
| manufacturers. But another tablet looks
| promising and comes from a complete unknown.

Where are the Linux tablets?
,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion, the ideal OS for a tablet PC
| would be a Linux-based OS running the Elive
| distribution. This distribution would be
| lightweight enough, yet have plenty of 3D eye
| candy for a modern desktop. The Elive desktop
| would be ideal for a touchscreen-based
| hardware. Yes, this is me showing favoritism,
| but if you really put some thought to it, the
| E17 desktop is perfect for the touchscreen. If
| youâve not experienced Elive, download a Live
| CD of it and try it out. Once you have it
| running, imagine it being used on a tablet PC.
| The only hitch would be how to initiate some
| of the compiz features without having the
| keyboard handy. Of course, after seeing what
| the Elive team has done so far, any hitches to
| tablet migration would be minor.

Google Enters the Tablet Fray
,----[ Quote ]
| The Chrome OS, which runs on top of the
| Linux kernel, is a direct challenge to
| Microsoft's(MSFT Quote) dominance in the PC
| market and will also intensify competition
| between Google and Apple. Chrome is
| expected to launch in the second half of
| the year and is an extension of Google's
| Chrome Web browser. It will initially be
| targeted at netbooks -- and tablets.
