Motion Computing J3400 Tablet Gets Airborne, Tested (Video)


We’ve seen handsets tested for resistance in crazy conditions, gadgets getting smashed and blended anywhere on the globe, but how about a tablet review in the cockpit of an airplane? This original video was done by a bunch of Aussie tablet fans, taking the Motion Computing J3400 tablet for a test flight in a small airplane, as shown in the vid below:

The pilot wants a replacement for his HP TC1100 and it seems that he found it, because he really likes the J3400. Its outdoorsy display is great, specially for pilots, having to face shade when flying or luminosity issues.

Motion Computing’s product is available with Windows 7 Professional or Vista Business, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, WiFi, mobile broadband, Bluetooth 2.1, safe computing features, a 12.1 inch widescreen with active digitizer and more. Extra info is available here.

iPad Clone Runs Windows 7, Available for Purchase Now

Chinese gadget website Shop Kami is offering a pretty nice piece of gear these days, a multitouch 3G tablet running Windows 7. What’s interesting is that the device is an Apple iPad clone, dubbed the Ezy Tablet and packing a 10.4 inch touch display. On board you’ll also find a 1.6 GHz Atom CPU, 2GB RAM (upgradable to 4) and a 250GB HDD.

Ezy comes with 3 USB ports, a built-in webcam, both advantages when compared to the iPad, that doesn’t sport such feats. The specs made this clone a pretty good tablet, comparable to any netbook on the market. For $680 a piece, this 3G device is worth at least a chance, but we should also mention that the price doesn’t include Windows 7.

Getting the tablet with the OS on board makes its price $860 and if you’re into the retail biz, you can buy 25 or more of them, making the Ezy reach a $52 price tag per unit.

Apple iPad Clone Runs Windows 7, is Shenzhen Material, Based on Intel Atom

Welcome to another round of Shenzhen clones, coming straight from China, via the company Superman Industrial. This time we’re dealing with an Apple iPad clone, running Windows 7 on an Intel Atom CPU. This 10.1 inch device dubbed EPad looks very much like an oversized iPhone and we learn that it incorporates an Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz chip.

The power consumption is reduced thanks to the new generation of Pine Trail chips made by Intel. On board of the EPad you’ll also find a 3000 mAh battery, while the 10.1 inch display supports a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution.

This is a 2cm thick tablet, weighing 1.3 kg that would certainly be more appealing if it had Android on board.

HP Slate, the iPad Rival With Full Microsoft Support

When Microsoft and HP work together to compete against Apple, hell breaks loose and we’ve got a product that could destroy the iPad. We’re talking about the HP Slate, shown by Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer at CES 2010. Apparently, the product will come with a low price point and it could run Windows 7, while also supporting a cellular connection.

Rumour has it that this device could even be cheaper than the $630 equivalent from Apple and if multitasking is also a go, count us in as HP Slate fans. Meanwhile, Dell has some plans of its own, but involving a small tablet, with a 5 inch display, while Asus and MSI haven’t talked about their similar products just yet.

Acer also wants a slice out of this emerging segment, but for now only HP shows promise, as far as defeating the iPad is concerned. In the end, it’s more of a battle between Windows 7 and iPhone OS, since the specs of the tablets can’t be that different.

ExoPC Slate, the First Apple iPad Clone?

Since the iPhone immediately got a bunch of clones after its debut, why wouldn’t the iPad get the same treatment? Today’s candidate for the title is the ExoPC slate, a device pretty similar to Apple’s most recent product. ExoPC runs Windows 7 and it supports multitasking, which is a bonus, compared to the iPad experience.

The device costs $599 and it comes with an 8.9 inch multitouch display , an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 2GB of DDR2 memory, a 32GB SSD, an SD card slot and a battery that provides 4 hours of functioning. ExoPC’s price and storage space puts it on par with the Apple iPad, but there’s always the advantage of multitasking on it…

EROS Tablet PC, a Custom iPad Rival?

The EROS Tablet PC is the latest custom gizmo coming from Shenzen and a pretty looking one, as well. You can consider this almost an Apple Tablet rival, specially since it sports a 10 inch touch display, a sleek design and an Intel Atom N270 processor. The standard display supports a 1024 x 576 pixel resolution, but there’s also another screen version, with a 1366 x 768 resolution.

The device uses a resistive touchscreen, so you’ll need a stylus to interact with it. We have to mention that the tablet is not light at all, at 850 grams and it’s not thin either, with a waistline of 22mm. Interfacing is provided by two USB port, a VGA one, Ethernet, an audio jack and two slots, for the CF and SD cards.

The memory on the EROS tablet is customizable, so you can either go with 160GB or 320GB of storage space. There’s also a standard 3 cell battery on board and we learn that the contraption is compatible with Windows 7, but it runs XP quite well and it’s able to play 720p movies. A very low price could make this product a winner, but its bulkiness is certainly not at all appealing.

Netbook Navigator, Selling Premium Tablets… With Premium Prices

Netbook Navigator is an online retailer we’ve stumbled upon these days, selling Mobile Internet Devices, tablets and netbooks, with a focus on the latter. Since registration is necessary to have a look at the prices, we’ve checked out the experience of the folks from Liliputing with this service, in order to find out the prices of the company’s devices.

Apparently, there’s an 8.9 inch slate available on the list, with netbook-like specs, going for $1199 and packing a multitouch display. There’s also a 32GB SSD on board, Windows 7 Home Premium and integrated 3G support. Add a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU to the list, plus 2GB of memory and a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display and you’ve got almost an ASUS T91MT unit, but with twice the price.

The main appeal of the device is its 3G connectivity, but still the price is very much a flaw. Liliputing reports that there’s also a cheaper base unit, going for $799, still too expensive for out taste.
