Neofoni's iPad Killer: WePad




There might be a new "iPad killer" and it is called WePad, which is developed in Germany. The German maker of the new tablet is setting out to rival Apple's iPad with the promise of greater sophisticated technology. Neofonie GmbH says, "The WePad outperforms the iPad by sporting a bigger screen, a webcam and USB ports for connecting printers and other devices."

Moreover, for people who want to put music on their WePad do not have to use specific software. Unlike Apple's devices that require iTunes to listen to music. The WePad has a sporty 11.6-inch screen that is powered by Intel and relies on Linux software as the backbone, which is compatible with Google's Android and all Flash applications. The basic version of the WePad will come will WiFi and 16-gigabyte of storage will cost US$600 and the big brother 32-gigabyte model is priced at US$777.

Neofonie is trying to appeal to publishers by allowing them to sell their content on the WePad, however, not to monopolize the customer relationship with Apple or Amazon do. Thus, it will reduce publishers to a simple content retailer. Since the Apple's iPad is not on sale in Germany, the WePad is expected to be released before the iPad arrives.
