Gigabyte enters the tablet market with the GN TB100

It looks like Gigabyte isn’t content with just building motherboards and graphic cards. At the CeBIT 2011 event this week, Gigabyte’s first Android tablet made a quiet debut. Called the GN-TB100, the tablet sports a 10.1″ display (1280 x 800), an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, a 5 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, integrated 3G, 512MB/1GB of RAM, up to 32GB of storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and mini-USB. With an IPS display that is of a higher resolution than the iPad, it definitely looks like one tasty tablet. Let’s hope the Android 2.2 is replaced with Honeycomb when it hits the stores in July 2011. Watch a video showing off the tablet after the break:

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.
