What’s the best Internet-enabled sofa-centric device you can buy? Possibly the Hanbit Pad. It’s silent, semi-rugged, has a built-in consumer IR receiver and transmitter, well-backlit keys and a sturdy stand. It runs Windows XP Tablet, comes with Wifi, Bluetooth, 30GB hard disk and a web-cam, has about 3 hours of battery life and costs…well actually we don’t know how much it costs yet. Hanbit and their distributors are still working that bit out. In fact, I’d encourage your thoughts in the comments because Hanbit have sent this over for some feedback before they start distributing it in Germany and other countries.
You might recognise the device as the Pepper Pad 3. In terms of hardware, it is! The only changes are to the screen (LED-Backlit and very bright) and the battery compartment. Software wise though its completely different. Hanbit have gone for Windows XP Tablet edition on this model which I have to say, feels faster than the previous Linux-based device.
