Chinese electronics maker HOTT brought a new 7 inch tablet with an ARM-based processor to CES last week. Charbax from ARMdevices caught up with the company and shot a brief video which you can check out below.
The HOTT M700 runs Windows CE 6.0 and has about 8 hours of battery life for web browsing or about 3 hours of video playback. Oh yeah, and it can handle 1080p HD video and even has an HDMI port for pumping out video to your HDTV.
HOTT says a Google Android version will also be coming later this year.
Like many of the companies showing off products in the International Gateway at CES, HOTT isn’t selling its products directly to consumers. So the $120 price tag that the guy mentions in the video probably isn’t the price that retail customers would pay. Rather, it’s the price that a distributor would pay to purchase several hundred or thousand devices to resell in the US. Still, even after the price is marked up, it seems feasible that we could see this little tablet come to market for $200 to $250.
Video after the break.
For me the magic tablet price range is $200-$400. As soon as I find one that runs ubuntu, consider my netbook replaced!
I think it would sell well in the $100 to $200 price range. It would be great for videos and surfing on the go.
Surfing with Windows CE is not fun. They need a better OS.
Do you think many will throw their Dell or Asus to get this Hott?
“look here, I have got a Hott!”
I wish there was a Hott hifi. I will bin my Bang and Ofufsen to get it.

This will be a fantastic device for home integrators, the simplicity of building a touch powered control panel on this thing will be brilliant.
