Skytab Windows 7 tablet gets EXOPC interface
SKYTEX Technology on Friday announced a partnership with EXOPC that would bring the latter's touch user interface to the former's Skytab S-series Windows 7 tablet PC. The tablet uses a dual-core, 1.5GHz Atom N550 CPU and sports a 9.7-inch, 1024x768 capacitive multitouch display that has as many as four points of touch recognition. Also on board is 2GB of RAM.
There is also an HDMI output onboard, along with a front-facing 1.3-megapixel webcam. Two USB 2.0 ports, a microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also built-in, while a 3G radio is optional. The tablet is now available for pre-order at an unspecified price, with shipments due to start early in October.
The EXOPC interface is unique in that it uses Flash and JavaScript to turn regular apps into touchscreen-friendly versions. EXOPC is based in Quebec, Canada, and launched its interface on a self-made tablet.
