Marvell Moby $100 Full-HD Tablet
Chip maker Marvell wants to get into the tablet business and it is showing a prototype that will offer web access and high-definition content at a price that would beat the competition by a wide margin.The Moby tablet will be powered by Marvell’s processors, which can offer gigahertz-class speed. The device will also have 1080p full-HD capability, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity and FM radio. The $100 Moby will support full Adobe Flash and could run either Android or the Windows Phone 7 operating system. While just a reference design at this point, the Moby will be available by the end of the year.

Neofonie WePad 11.6" Android Tablet
The Neofonie WePad has a bigger multitouch screen and a faster CPU than the iPad. Also, it runs Flash, has USB ports, an inbuilt card reader, and expandable memory. Additionally, it allows complete multitasking and has a webcam. The WePad is set to arrive sooner to German stores than its Apple counterpart and will be significantly cheaper than the iPad, says Neofonie CEO Helmut Hoffer von Ankershoffen. Preorders and deliveries are planned for next month. The choice of OS sounds weird: a Linux derivate with Android on top. That is Linux with Linux inside, which makes it possible to install apps from the Android Market as well as special Adobe Air software from Neofonie.
