Intel is showing off a number of products built around various Atom chips. I got a chance to check out the company’s booth at a Pepcom event in New York this week, including a few we’ve seen before such as the company’s Canoe Lake ultrathin netbook reference design, a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T convertible netbook, and a few tablets including the…

It looks like we can stop calling the 11.6 inch German tablet that can run Linux and Android apps the Neofonie WeTab. Neofonie is now out of the picture, with the WeTab becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of 4tiitoo, the company that developed the custom software interface for the tablet. The tablet has been available in Germany since September, although many…

The Neofonie WeTab is an 11.6 inch tablet with a custom Linux interface and a home screen filled with a series of widgets to give you access to your most important information at a glance. Apparently along with updates from your email, instant messenger, news feeds, and social networking sites, that includes advertising. Tblt.de reports that the WeTab ships with…

[/caption] The tablet formerly known as the WePad was supposed to start shipping in Germany in June. But Amazon is apparently notifying customers that it won’t actually be available until September 19th — about three months after the launch date unveiled at a press conference last month. The Neofonie WeTab features an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 multitouch display, 802.11a/b/g/n…

It’s been a busy day for tablet news. As usual, the iPad gets top billing, but it’s not the only game in town. Here’s a brief roundup of tablet news from around the world: Apple iPad to ship internationally on May 28th Apple will start taking iPad pre-orders on May 10th in a number of countries including the UK, Canada,…

The WePad is an 11.6 inch tablet computer running Google Android Ubuntu Linux with a highly polished custom user interface. And it’s kind of everything the Apple iPad isn’t. The WePad has a high resolution 1366 x 768 pixel display, USB ports, support for Adobe Flash, HDMI output, and a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor and Broadcom Crystal HD video…

I swear, I’m not trying to turn the tablet news roundup into a daily feature here on Liliputing. But there’s just so much tablet news going around and I’d rather not write 3-4 separate posts to cover it all today, so here you go: WePad demo video When the folks at Neofonie introduced the WePad tablet this week, it was…

Honestly, at this point I didn’t feel like there was much I didn’t already know about the WePad, the German iPad competitor with a kind of almost clever name. We already knew it would have an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 multitouch display and 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU and run a custom version of Linux with a touch-friendly interface….

Sure, the iPad is the tablet of the moment. But it’s hardly the only touchscreen tablet coming out in the near future. One of the more interesting models I’ve seen is the WePad, an 11.6 inch tablet from German company Neofonie. But while the Apple iPad is in the hands of reviewers and ready to ship this weekend, the WePad…

So you know that WePad tablet all the kids are going crazy for? The one with the 11.6 inch display and the name that makes it sound like it’s so much cooler than an iPad that it uses the first person plural instead of singular? It looks like it may be based on a slate PC design that Pegatron was…

How do you make an iPad even cooler? Make it plural. At least that seems to be the reasoning behind the Neofonie WePad. No, they’re not selling two Apple tablets. They just took the “i” and made it “We.” Other than that, the German company’s tablet doesn’t really have that much in common with the iPad other than a touchscreen…
