WePad Tablet Gets Official, Goes For €450 In August (Update: Now Called WeTab)

Remember the WePad, a German Linux-based tablet that has literally turned the iPad phenomenon into plural shapes? Well, guess what, it just gone Official and is slated to come out sometime this August, starting at €450 ($610) for the 16GB WiFi version and up to €569 ($775) for the 64GB 3G enabled model. And based on its German creator Neofonie, that held a press conference in Berlin only few hours ago, it’d likely include most parts that your brand new iPad lacks. With specifications reminiscent of a netbook, more than a slate, this sleek 11.6-inch touchscreen device is said to have a Full HD compatibility via Broadcom’s Crystal HD graphics accelerator, along a 1.3mp camera, Intel Atom N450 processor, optional GPS antenna, integrated card reader, built-in stereo speakers, 6 hours battery, and finally, dual USB 2.0 ports. The UI itself works surprisingly smooth, as you may learn from the three downstairs videos, and the well-designed internet browser claimed to boast Adobe’s flash support. Hit the break to see the shots.

Update1: We’ve added one more video, this time showing a real-time working WePad tablet in action, after the break.

Update2: Neofonie just held another press conference to show some real and viable pictures of its latest and greatest 11.6-inch WePad tablet, powered by an Atom N450 processor stuffed inside. Three more vids after the break.

Update3: The WePad is not out yet but the name has already been changed. From now on say WeTab and never get confused with other “Pads” available in the market – it’s official. Full PR after the break.

Update4: And just when we had some good feelings about Neofoie’s WeTab slate, it seems like it won’t be available soon, probably somewhere around mid-September. Stay tuned.

Update1: And looks like ASUS’ Eee PC 1005PR is now up for pre-order at Amazon (with all the good stuff included) for $399.99 only, which makes this HD compatible netbook pretty attractive for acquisition, in its 10-inch category. Ship dates haven’t been disclosed yet.

Samsung’s Go N315 Netbook To Get a Pine Trail Flavor

Samsung has already managed to catch our attention a year ago when first released its slick and lavish netbooks lineup, known as the Go series. But things, as you may know, change pretty fast these days and technology that appeared to be new and updated back then is no longer relevant. And going into the nitty gritty things, last year it was the Atom N270 that has shined and today it’s the Pine Trail flavor (AKA: Atom N450) that rise, and Samsung wise, we have the Go N315 machine that was recently released with no surprise. Price is at $429 which makes it a bit expensive if you want us to categorize, but still packs the latest specs and components we expected it would comprise. That includes the Atom N450 CPU, 1GB of RAM, Windows 7 Starter and Intel’s GMA 1350 graphics, that plays HD videos smooth at any size.
