EviGroup CEO Nicolas Ruiz just emailed us to let us know that the official website of the EviGroup Pad [info] is now live. Unfortunately it’s in French at the moment but Google does a reasonable job of translating it to English although I’m not so sure about the ‘toes’ bit!
There are four versions of the device based around the same core hardware.
- Processor: 1.6Ghz Atom
- RAM: 1GB SO-DIMM 667Mhz. Slot. Ram interchangeable.
- Storage Capacity: 2′5 160GB HDD S-ATA.
- Display: 10.6-inch touchscreen, resistive. Resolution 1024 * 600.
- Pointing Device: Stylus deployable, thumbs and fingers (toes as possible)
- Wireless connectivity: 3G / WiFi a / b / g
- Networking: Ethernet
- Lithium-Ion Removable: 3 hours of time average.
- Devices internal microphone, webcam Front 1300000 pixels.
- Ports SD / MMC / MS (SDHC Compatible)
- Connectivity: 1 x VGA, 3 x USB2 ports, jack, microphone jack.
- Weight: 990g (battery included)
- Dimensions: 260×160x22mm
The best way to describe it would be as a T101H without the keyboard. At 900gm its a very interesting productivity option, I recon the prices aren’t too bad either. 620 for the 3G version seems quite interesting as part of a mobile productivity kit. Note that the RAM is upgradeable too.
- Tablet Pad Standard without Windows 7 without Seline10: 489 € + 30 € charges.
- Tablet Pad Standard with Windows 7 Home Premium and Seline10: 549 € + 30 € charges.
The Elite version includes 3G:
- Tablet Pad Elite 7 with Windows Home Premium and Seline10: 599 € + 30 € charges.
- Tablet Pad Elite without Windows 7 without Seline10: 539 € + 30 € charges.
My main questions are:
- What does ‘Seline’ give me?
- Does the tablet enable touch features in Windows 7?
- What’s the real battery life?
We’re trying to get hold of a review unit.

“Lithium-Ion Removable: 3 hours of time average.”
main weak point.

Wonder how hard it’d be to put the innards of a Macbook Air in it
(or a Beagle Board… with Android and a 3G card)

Kinda sad they aren’t interested in my american money.
The device looks nice, seems affordable, and more powerful than a viliv x70. Yea I am totally interested.

Same here, compared to the other slate/tablet styles (Archos 9 being one), this one seems more “full”.

Looks not bad to me, only the battery life if its true.
What is Seline? Found this and it explains it good. http://pad.evi-group.com/

they should shrink this device to 4.8″ and add it to their portfolio. that would be awesome. a true competitor to the viliv s5.

“Dispositif de pointage : stylet déployable, pouces et doigts (doigts de pied possible)”
They just mean you can use your toes instead of fingers if you so wish (or can’t do otherwise, for all I know).

◦Does the tablet enable touch features in Windows 7?
I think not… When you look at the video postet here, it indicates that it does not support native win7 (since there is no on-screen “pop up” when he taps the adressebar, he goes to the side to get the TIP window).
Its a shame that all these UMPC/Netbooks does not support win7 touch (or vista). Pen flicks are very usefull, and the native touch opens doors in lots of other software to.

Hi
It supports Win7 native onscreen. Its Firefox which not support it. If you try with “standard” apps, it will work well. I think Firefox doesn’t use the standad text area of Microsoft Windows, its why the keyboard button doesn’t appear.
@Brtt > Its just a joke, sorry
