Intel dumping more money into tablets
Intel to help vendors launch inexpensive tablets, say Taiwan makers
Monica Chen, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Thursday 23 April 2015] Intel will offer new RDAs (reference designs for Android) in the second half of 2015 to help partnering vendors, including China-based white-box ones, launch inexpensive 7, 8 and 10-inch Android tablets, according to Taiwan-based tablet supply chain makers. The reference designs will be mainly equipped with Intel SoFIA processors, the sources said. Target retail prices for 10-inch LTE, 8-inch LTE and 7-inch 3G tablets will be below US$129, US$89 and US$79, the sources indicated. Taiwan-based ODMs Foxconn Electronics, Compal Electronics, Pegatron, Wistron and Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) will undertake production for the new RDAs, the sources said. In particular, Intel will help China-based white-box tablet vendors tap markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, the sources indicated. While global tablet sales appear to be stagnant, there will be global demand for more than 200 million tablets and 2-in-1 tablets in 2015, the sources said. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20150423PD211.html ================ Just give me a 7" rootable android tablet with micro-SD slot (capable of handling capacity up to 256 gb), USB-3 port, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, 1 gb internal ram, 32 gb internal SSD and dual-core (or quad core) CPU. Don't need or want LTE or 3g/4g. Just put biggest battery inside it as possible. And give it a screen with at least 1280 x 768 pixels and at least 4 mp rear-facing camera I'd pay $60 - $75 for that. |
