Qualcomm to Invest in Mirasol Technology Plant

Aug 31, 2010 Tablet related

Qualcomm will apparently invest $2 billion into a factory that will produce 5.7 inch Mirasol displays starting from 2012, according to Digitimes and their sources. The factory is found in the Central Taiwan Science Park and in case you’re not familiar with Mirasol, know that the screen technology borrows the property of both LCD and E-ink screens.

Energy consumption is very low, even less than E-ink and there’s no backlighting involved, as far as we know. No glare will bother you and color reproduction will be supported as well as 30fps video. While LG and Sony are working on flexible displays and color E-ink screens, Mirasol might prove to be a worthy rival, but 2012 is a long way to go.

3D Shanzhai Tablet Doesn’t Require Glasses, Made by Rockchip

Aug 27, 2010 Tablet related

Shanzai tablets are evolving into something more than average slates that copy the iPad, so now we’ve found a device that does 3D without requiring glasses. Made by Rockchip, said unit is available in prototype phase and it’s dubbed the Supernova X1. No info on the price right now, since this is a prototype after all and we don’t even know the OS it runs on.

Apparently, Rockchip Supernova X1 is based on a SoC solution and the lack of images or videos to showcase its 3D capability can be explained through the limited number of videogames and movies available in 3D, right now.

Tablet Dune Runs Windows 7, Available in Belgium (Video)

Aug 25, 2010 Tablet related

There are some tablets out there that escaped the eagle eye of tech blogs, like the Tablet Dune, shown in action in the following video. Spotted in Belgium, this device comes from Le.Net (Le Point Net), it runs Windows 7 and uses a 10.2 inch display. This slate was uncovered by gottabemobile forum member Tuur, who also has some details on the unit.

Here’s a pretty accurate specs list for Tablet Dune (strange name, by the way):

CPU: Intel Atom N450, 1.67GHz
Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD (or 16/32GB SSD)
Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, optional 3G
Camera: 1.3MP webcam
Display: 10.2 inch resistive multitouch display
Battery life: 2.5 to 4.5 hours

The device is out of stock at the moment, but it should be back in two weeks or so. For the right price, this slate could be a bargain, we think…
