Interpad is an Android-powered tablet to hit Europe

on 07/26/2010, filed in Home > Gadgets

German device manufacturer Interpad has outlined its plans to introduce a 10″ tablet later this year for around 399 Euros ( which when converted, will retail for $518). It might be a wee bit high when you compare it to the entry level iPad which is retailing for $499, although it more or less offers the whole works where an Android-powered device is concerned – save for cellular connectivity, of course, since this is no smartphone. Some folks might wish to see its 16GB of internal flash storage space being replaced by a hard drive, but then again it would increase the physical size by quite a margin. There is still no word on whether it will hit the market outside of Germany, but one can look forward to the IFA trade show in Berlin this September. Check out the features of the Interpad in the extended post.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
