Spring Launch for the Joojoo and iPad Tablet?

Well, both touchscreen tablets are coming out this spring? Both have interesting publicity, fans and naysayers. What’s the hard facts though?

ipad-2 The Apple iPad:

Price tag of $499-$829 according to data plan and/or connectivity
iPad screen 9.7 inches
iPad battery 10 hours
1GH apple chip
1/2 inch thick
multi-touch

$499 price tag
Capacitive touchscreen display.
It directly (9 seconds) boots into a web browser.
12.1-inch display with 1366 x 768 resolution
USB 2.0 port, WiFi, Bluetooth, and audio / headset

I wish we had more choices. The Microsoft Courier is a distant dream and the Dell mini 5 is only 5inches so that’s not an option, really. What do you look forward to in a tablet device? Honestly this is just round one as we watch the Tablet manufacturers skip around and throw phantom punches. The real test will be near the end of the year when buyers look to using these devices for school and as gifts.
