14 DAY TRIAL // We've caught word a while ago about ECS' plans to showcase some interesting new tablets at CeBIT 2011, and sure enough, the company delivered on its promise, featuring several interesting such products on display.
As Pocketables reports, one of the most interesting products the company showed within their booth was a 7-inch tablet, built around the Intel Atom Lincroft Z670 Processor (Oak Trail), accompanied by the Whitney SM35 Point chipset.
This is in fact quite a big surprise, especially since most of the tablets currently available on the market have typically opted for NVIDIA's Tegra 2 platform or various other solutions from Qualcomm, Marvell, etc.
Naturally, the device is controlled via the touchscreen display and, beside the aforementioned central processing unit, it will also come equipped with 1GB of DDR2 RAM memory, numerous connectivity and networking options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, etc., while a solid-state drive will be used for storing one's data.
Additional features worth mentioning include the front and rear-facing cameras, as well as the fact that the tablet will pack a fairly generous power pack, namely a 3750mAh battery capable of delivering up to 5 hours of functioning time, despite of the fact that the mobile device from ECS is actually rather compact, measuring 121 x 194 x 13.6 mm and weighing around 360 grams.
Last, but certainly not least, it's also quite interesting to note that ECS's actually keeping its options open as far as the operating system of choice is concerned, given the fact that, beside Windows 7, MeeGo and Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) are also listed as supported OS'.
Sadly, for the time being, there's really no info on the exact moment when we should expect this tablet from ECS to hit the shelves (or its estimated pricing, for that matter), but we certainly hope that it will be sooner, rather than later.
