OpenPeak debuts OpenTablet 7 slate running on Intel Moorestown

Another entrant into the reviving market of tablets and slates this year will be OpenPeak’s new OpenTablet 7 which officially debuted yesterday at the Mobile World Congress.

Powered by the upcoming Intel Moorestown Atom platform (a SoC chip designed for small devices such as smartphones and tablets), the OpenTablet 7 features a 7 inch multi-touch enabled TFT LCD display with LED backlighting, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, HDMI output, and dual cameras for capturing video and still images.

On the stats side, OpenTablet 7 measures 9 x 5 x 0.59 inches and weighs a mere 1.15 pounds – comparable to the iPad although it does have a smaller display than the iPad.

Other notable specs include:

Support for 802.11 b/g/n
WWAN connectivity support
USB interface
microSD slot to expand storage

Now what about the all-important application support? OpenPeak supports Adobe Flash CS4 and will provide a software framework allowing developers and designers to create “highly interactive applications”. In addition, a “white label application shop” is planned which will provide revenue sharing models for service providers and developers.

Dan Gittleman, CEO of OpenPeak, states the “all-in-one device allows you to sync schedules, check movie times, listen to music, watch videos, get weather updates, and even monitor energy usage and home security, all from a single, easy-to-use device.”

The slate will be available with either a desktop docking station or a handset docking station. No word on the price point right now but OpenPeak claims the slate will be available at a “affordable price point”.
