German company Interpad [1] will be showing off an interesting tablet at the upcoming IFA show in Berlin: a 10in boy running Android 2.1 on an Nvidia Tegra 2 [2] processor.
Said system-on-a-chip operates at 1GHz and has 1GB of DDR 2 memory to play with.
Tegra-based tablets have been few and far between since Nvidia announced the chip at last January's Consumer Electronics Show [3] (CES) in Las Vegas.
Interpad hasn't said when the tablet will ship, but with Android 2.1 [4] on board, it can't be far off - Interpad will surely want to release its product before the more tablet-centric Android 3.0 - aka Gingerbread - debuts.
Or maybe it will simply choose to wait until Gingerbread is available.
Either way, the spec is impressive: 16GB of Flash storage that can be augmented with MicroSD cards of up to 32GB capacity; 802.11g Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 2.1; HDMI output; and 1080p HD playback.
The whole thing measures 253 x 164 x 13mm and weighs 660g. It's powered by a 3900mAh battery, though Interpad doesn't say how long it lasts on a charge.
The Interpad will cost €399 (£334). ®
