Ocosmos OCS1: Oak Trail Gaming Tablet Impressions
*********************************************EXCERPT*********************************************
by Vivek Gowri on 9/15/2010 1:14:00 PM
We managed to catch up with Ocosmos, the people behind the OCS1 gaming tablet from Douglas Davis’ keynote this morning, and got some more information regarding the intruiging new tablet. As we noted before, it’s running Windows 7, Intel’s Oak Trail platform, two D-pads, and a screen that slides up to reveal a physical keyboard.
We can now flesh out the specs further, with the data sheet showing a 4.8” capacitive touch screen with WSVGA resolution (248 pixels per inch!), a 1.5GHz Atom Oak Trail with GMA 600, a 32GB SSD built in with expandable memory, integrated GPS, a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, 3 megapixel rear camera, and a micro-HDMI support.

BTW, the launch of Playbook was RUMORED to be what took Apple down 18 points on the open.
It has since recovered [at 288 now] ... but there was another story floating around this morning that Tim Cook was going to take Hurd’s place at HP. He since has personally denied it.
I’d be more scared of Tim Cook leaving Apple than the Playbook, FWIW.

Rim said they are looking at $500 to $1,000.

But if your company wants several thousand of them for your salespeople ...we can give a volume discount....the ole Corporate market game.

Pinging you to the Tim Cook rumor ... it’s been out for hours so I suspect you know.

This looks geared for the corporate market.
Anyway, Notion Ink’s Adam is due for release October 8.
Mini and Regular USB ports and one camera, but can swivel.
Samsung Genesis(?) is also due with two cameras.....
But the Adam does look like a good deal.

Pinging you to the Tim Cook rumor ... it’s been out for hours so I suspect you know. Yup... but already quashed by the time I woke up after a really late night. Tim Cook denied he was leaving and didn't have a clue where they got the idea he would even be thinking about HP... he wasn't and isn't.
I suspect it was a carefully placed rumor to do exactly what happened... cause a sudden drop in Apple stock for someone who shorted it.
