Another tablet, but this one we can actually touch!

Finally! A tablet that is more then just a rumor! No speculations, no rumors. Just confirmed specs from the company itself. What a relief.

The company in question is Notion Inc. And they have confirmed a 10.1-inch (I know! Exact dimensions!!), Android OS running tablet. Probably the coolest part of this new tablet, besides the obvious reason of my excitement, is the technology behind the display. It is made by a company called Pixel Qi and is a combination of E Ink and LCD screens. This hybrid has benefits of low power usage and the absence of glare plus color benefits you usually don’t get with E ink screens. So no more worrying about sitting with the sun behind you.

Some of the features of this tablet are Wi-Fi, 3G, 1GB RAM, 16 or 32GB flash storage options, and USB charging in addition to the typical power adapter. It will weigh less than 1.7 pounds, be powered by an NVIDIA chip in the Tegra family, and be priced for under $400.

The only thing they didn’t share with the world, is the name or a release date; but hey, we can live without a name and we might get a release date at CES in a couple of weeks.

I’m sure it was obvious in my writing that I was excited about the all-out release of this tablet. You don’t realize how annoy it is to sift through rumors and decide which ones to report on and which to ignore. And there are so many tablets rumored (Apple, Dell, and Asus to name some recent ones), with hardly any that we have pictures of (JooJoo), that when something like this comes around I get excited.
