WeTab
$573.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Large 11.6" multi-touch display with 720p capable resolution of 1366 x 768px. Capable of multi-tasking. 1.3MP webcam.
The Cons:Less battery life than the iPad (6 vs 10 hours) - due in part to the larger display, full X86 processor. Heavier than the iPad - which many already consider too heavy for a pure tablet device. Not too many linux GUI applications support touchscreen, so it's kinda clumsy. Still I love it.
The WeTab is a high-level tablet PC designed to be a direct competitor for the Apple iPad.

Slow, power-hungry and near obsolete Atom processor cannot match the ARM SOCs like Tegra2.

unknown display type - probably an inferior TN-based display next to the iPad's IPS
-
-7
small startup device - much like with FusionGarage they do not have the size to scale and provide a competitive product
