Although tablets are typically low-power computing devices, meant mostly for Internet browsing, multimedia playback and some casual gaming on the side, it seems that the people over at Ocosmos have some rather different ideas as far as their new OCS9 Tablet PC, officially presented at CES 2011, is concerned.
The reason why Ocosmos believes that OCS9 will be able to run smoothly the latest and most resource-demanding online PC games, MMORPG, 3D, productivity and social networking applications is that it combines a next-gen Intel “Oak Trail” Atom CPU with Microsoft's
Windows 7 operating system.
Additional features provided by the OCS9 tablet include 64GB of internal SSD storage, front and rear cameras (1.3MP Webcam in front, 3.1MP camera in back), a nine-inch (diagonal) multi-touch display and a detachable QWERTY controller with virtual keyboard.
Another very interesting characteristic of the OCS9 is the OMOS Key interface, a very innovative input solution, as well as the placement of left keys on the device shoulder for gaming.
Naturally, the tablet also provides plenty of data-transfer interfaces, including networking over Wi-Fi and connectivity over Bluetooth, GPS, and USB 2.0 HS, as well as a microSD card slot that supports cards with capacities of up to 64GB.
"OCS9's OMOS Key raises the bar for the most usable Tablet PC interface," said Eu-jin Oh, president of OCOSMOS, adding that "users will love the OCS9's capabilities, ease of use and power."
"The Intel Atom processor continues to create waves of innovation in the industry," said Rene Torres, director of marketing for Intel's Notebook and Tablet Group, who also commented that "we are excited to see OCOSMOS take advantage of Intel Atom's performance and compatibility to bring PC-class gaming experiences to life with their OCS9 announcement."
Unfortunately, while pricing details for the OCS9 has not yet been provided, but the manufacturer did reveal the fact that we should expect the tablet to go on sale in the US in mid-2011, with China and other markets set to follow later on.
