MSI also unveiled their versions of the digital pad during Computex, with the Wind Pad 100 and 110. Both feature 10-inch capacitive touch screens, but will come with totally different mobile platforms.
There’s a report going around that MSI will be joining the tablet wars in the second half of 2010. According to the source quoted by this DigiTimes report, MSI will be coming out with a tablet PC that’ll be based on Intel’s mobile internet device (MID) platform during the Computex show in Taiwan this June.
Named the Slatebook, the tablet PC will run on a platform built around Intel’s Menlow Atom processor, built-in 3G and Wi-fi connectivity, a 10-inch touchscreen display, and a Windows 7 operating system, to make for a system that will reportedly be priced below $500.
MSI’s Wind U160 netbook, the 10-inch Pine Trail Atom-powered portable that was listed to run for 10 hours on a charge, is now available. There has been a few changes since it was announced late last year though; the price has gone up from the announced $350 to $380, but the listed battery life has also been upsized from a good 10 hours to an awesome 15-hour runtime.
MSI has just unveiled the Air Keyboard, a wireless 200-gram keyboard that comes with built-in motion sensors that you can hold up and wave around to move the mouse pointer. Yeah, like a Wii controller, but see, it’s shaped like a keyboard with 80 keys including the standard QWERTY set plus multimedia buttons. (more…)
