Submission + - WePad Tablet PC to use Linux OS to beat iPad (yahoo.com)
cypherdtraitor writes: A German company, "Neofonie GmbH," has set out to provide an alternative to the ipad, according to Neofonie's founder, Helmut Hoffer von Ankershoffen.
The WePad will boast a linux based OS, USB ports, webcam, and wifi, as well as other features. The 16Gigabyte edition will cost 449Euro, and the 32 Gigabyte will cost 569euro. The more expensive model will hold a lightning fast 3g modem. {Specifications}
There are also hints of cheap, available software. For example, OpenOffice will be the primary office suite, and you may use "any application that pleases you" to play music and video, a clear edge over apple's limitations to DRM locked itunes.
