NEC Lifetouch, 7 inches with Android

During his IExpo (NEC an event held every year at this time), NEC has unveiled a tablet known as NEC Lifetouch touchscreen based Google Android operating system.

Equip with a 7-inch LCD screen, NEC Lifetouch is a tablet with cloud services, targeted primarily to professionals. The Japanese company wanted to bet on online services accessible through a simple browser, rather than fill the number system software. The decision may be shared to some extent, since there are currently very few applications optimized for Android tablet.

However, the size of the display (7 inches) would enable NEC gain access to Android Market. We do not know if in the future, the Japanese company provides an update to Android Froyo from Andorid 2.1 version installed by default in Lifetouch. The tablet should be provided with a 3G module, a feature necessary for a 7-inch device aimed at cloud computing. As for the rest of the budget, Lifetouch will integrate a WiFi module, Bluetooth, GPS, two USB ports, a SD card reader and a 0.3 megapixel camera.

NEC Lifetouch will have a solution for System-on-Chip (SoC) ARM Cortex. NEC will launch its Tablet in Japan starting this month, but not to the general public. The Japanese company wants to enter partnerships with other companies that could distribute his tablet with their brand. The price was not disclosed the intention of exporting it to Europe.
