Interesting A81, 7” Tablet from Witstech. Cortex. Capacitive. Coming with Android? (Updated with video)

Tags: , ,


Reported by Techfresh nearly a month ago is early information on a 7” ARM-based tablet from Witstech. The A81. I have a feeling that the ‘WinCE’ specification put a lot of people off but it might be worth taking a closer look as it supposedly has a capacitive touchscreen and runs on an unspecified ARM Cortex A8 core.

There’s also talk about $200-$250 prices and an upcoming Android build.

We had a lot of fun with the ARM11-based Smart Devices Q7 but with the bump in processor power, this would be a lot more useful, especially if WITs can get an Android build together for it.

Specifications (taken from this PDF) are in the database now.

P.S. I know what you’re thinking – 1024×600 would be awesome! (Although Android on 800×480 should be quite enjoyable in my opinion.)

Update: This product seems to be availeble as the Wirelession W1060. Someone in the MobileRead forums already has one.
