The coverage that I read from last week's Computex trade show seemed to have VIA carrying on about the tablet PC designs that their VP had taken around to US media the week before (see my earlier posts). Expert Reviews, however, have images and information about a VIA "tablet design".
VIA is no stranger to putting out prototypes of new device segments. They were the first out with a netbook platform, although it was called something else ... the OpenBook I think? Anyway, I just thought it was interesting that a VIA prototype ARM based 7" tablet is out there. Sadly, the one that Expert Reviews got to see didn't even power up.
"To make things more interesting, Via is also aiming for a bargain $199 price point too, but this is more than the $100-$150 that was hinted at just a few weeks ago.
Via also had some words on Intel's attempt at low power with its Moorestown hardware. It said that x86 won't cut it against ARM in the ultra mobile space."
