Freescale promises bargain-price tablet this year 5 January 2010 Freescale, which specializes in making chips embedded in devices, is hoping the blueprint will "jump-start creation of smartbook tablets" based on the company's microprocessors. Products based on the design could be in the market by mid-year, according to Freescale. "There is clearly strong end-user demand for tablet form-factors, and new reference designs look to play a major role in helping (electronics makers) Freescale Semiconductor on Monday unveiled blueprints speed tablet smartbook products to market," said for a tablet computer to be priced at less than 200 ABI analyst Jerr Orr. dollars (US) when it debuts later this year. (c) 2010 AFP Freescale Semiconductor unveiled blueprints for a tablet computer to be priced at less than 200 dollars (US) when it debuts later this year. The devices will sport touch screens with as much as four times the viewing area of typical smartphones and be about a third of the size of an average netbook computer, according to the Texas- based company. "We believe the tablet will emerge as a popular form factor for the next generation of smartbooks," said Freescale vice president of sales and marketing Henri Richard. "By introducing this prototype reference design, Freescale intends to play a vital role in propelling the mainstream adoption of smartbooks." The tablets are designed with features including wireless internet connectivity, all-day battery life, and instant activation. Versions of the tablet operating on Android and Linux software will be demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show that officially starts Thursday in Las Vegas, according to Freescale. 1 / 2 APA citation: Freescale promises bargain-price tablet this year (2010, January 5) retrieved 28 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2010-01-freescale-bargain-price-tablet-year.html This document is subject to copyright.

Beyond Smartphones]
Beyond<< Previous Smartphones They go by a variety of names: netbooks, smartbooks, mobile Internet devices, and booklets. Here’s what you need to consider in evaluating these Lenovo’s Skylight smartbook next-gen mobile [will be available in April platforms. By Peter Rysavy martphones pack a whole lot of computing power into a small device.But no matter how smart these phones get,they have their limitations, small screens and unwieldy user inter- faces among the most obvious. At the other end of the mo- bile spectrum,notebooks sport the perfect user interface,but they’re heavy and cumbersome. S Enter the in-between platforms:devices that are smaller and lighter than notebooks and more capable than phones. Net- books are the first success story here, but other devices, with names like smartbooks and mobile Internet devices,are about to be released. As you evaluate these new platforms, ask these basic questions: Which operating system will you use? Whom will you buy from? What kind of service plan is right for your business? Should you use 3G,Wi-Fi, or both? How does phone tethering figure in? And what kind of secu- rity do you need? InformationWeek Analytics’ “Mobile Broadband: Be- 28 Feb.15, 2010 informationweek.com << Previous Next >> yond Smartphones” report provides insight into all of these areas to help you decide which device is best for your company. How To Pick Your Mobile Platform A useful way to think of these platforms is either as supersized smart- phones or downsized notebooks.If you’re downsizing from a notebook to a netbook, there’s a good chance you’ll use some of the same apps, like Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes,on a Windows device.But if you’re upsizing from a smartphone, you’ll expect an instant-on capability and a battery life that gets you through the day, and you’ll likely be OK with a non-Windows OS.

Tech Brief: Using SATA Nandrive to Replace Industrial Cfast Cards
Tech Brief Using SATA NANDrive™ to Replace Industrial Grade CFast Cards Why Do Systems Use CFast? CFast is an extension of the Compact Flash standard and is effectively a Serial ATA (SATA) equivalent of the Parallel ATA based (PATA) CompactFlash (CF) cards. CFast cards support a higher transfer rate than CF cards, but are not electrically or mechanically compatible. Industrial grade (SLC NAND-based) CFast cards are typically used in embedded applications requiring high endurance and long life. While the removable aspect of CFast cards may be useful for some applications, they are not suitable for storing sensitive user data and embedded systems used in high vibration and shock environments. NANDrive™ Advantage Over CFast Cards As the size of embedded systems continues to shrink, there Embedded Platforms is a need for more power efficient and smaller form factor storage than offered by CFast cards. At about the size GPS I2C of a postage stamp, industrial grade (SLC NAND-based) NANDrive solid state drives (SSDs) are an ideal replacement. Touchscreen SPI Imaging / No extra connectors are needed because NANDrive is Controller CPU Video / Audio Accelerator soldered directly onto the PCB, making it resistant to shock Color Display and vibration. In addition, no host software changes are Display Controller 2D / 3D required if SATA NANDrive is used in place of a CFast card. Image Signal SATA Interface UART Graphics Bluetooth Processor www.NANDrive.com Accelerator For embedded applications that require high security, NANDrive offers advanced features that are not often found in Sensor Sensor Interface today’s CFast cards, such as user-selectable protection zones and military-grade erase / purge commands.

Tablet Computer
Tablet computer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For tablet devices in the tradition of the Microsoft Tablet PC, see Tablet personal computer. Tablet computer The Apple iPad A tablet computer, or simply tablet, is a complete mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen. It often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard or a digital pen rather than a physical keyboard.[1][2] Computing devices with data input and output on a flat information display have existed as early as 1888.[3] Throughout the 20th century many devices with these characteristics have been ideated and created whether as blueprints, prototypes or commercial products, with the Dynabook concept in 1968 being an spiritual precursor of tablets and laptops. During the 2000s Microsoft attempted to define the tablet PC product concept[4] as a mobile computer for field work in business,[5] though their devices failed to achieve widespread usage due mainly to price and usability problems that made them unsuitable outside of their limited intended purpose.[6] In April 2010 Apple Inc. released the iPad, a tablet computer focused on media consumption. The shift in purpose, together with increased usability and overall quality with respect to previous tablets, was perceived as defining a new class of consumer device[7] and shaped the commercial market for tablets in the following year. The term may also apply to a variety of form factors that differ in position of the screen with respect to a keyboard. The standard form is called slate, which does not have an integrated keyboard but may be connected to one with a wireless link or a USB port.
