Yet another Android powered tablet PC
We have posted about a tablet PC running Android previously and there were also couple other prototypes we didn’t cover, but now it seems that there is finally a tablet PC running Android that will be mass produced.
Seem like almost from nowhere, the world’s first Google Android netbook has appeared from a Chinese manufacturer, Guangzhou Skytone Transmission Technologies, more renown for producing low cost netbooks targeted to kids.
On Skytone’s website, you can clearly see the notebook — Alpha 680 which is meant to be a refresh of the Linux-based Alpha 600. The Alpha 680 has a 7-inch screen with 800 x 480 resolution and is powered by an ARM 11 533MHz processor which is pretty much what you’d get on the G1. Given its price of $100, the rest of the specifications are very weak. The Alpha 680 notebook comes with only 128MB RAM and 1GB of flash storage in the standard edition.
It does look kinda cheap and is definitely not what most have expected out of the first Android powered notebook, but hey, who had expected that the first Android notebook will be produced by a little known Chinese company?
You can see the demo video of the notebook running the Android below:
