eviGroup Paddle is going for €599

The eviGroup Paddle looks more thna ready to join the tablet fray, where it has been slapped with a rather expensive €599 price point. Before we judge a device base on its price alone (as well as the inevitable comparisons of it against the Apple iPad), how about taking a peek at what the Paddle offers? Inside this multitouch tablet lies an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, a VGA webcam, 1GB RAM, as well as other parts that seem to read from a netbook specifications list instead including a trio of USB 2.0 ports, VGA out, an SD memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity with the option to throw in 3G support by forking out another €150. For those who want to upgrade the operating systems and hardware from the factory itself, it will cost another €50 and €79, respectively. Battery life is rated at a mere 3 hours, which is a definite no-no in this day and age, especially when you compare it against the Apple iPad. [Translated Page]
