LG E-Note H1000B tablet unveiled

Tablets

While its name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, the LG E-Note H1000B is finally a reality. The pricey Windows tablet features a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768-pixel touchscreen, a 1.66GHz processor, a 16GB SSD and 1GB of RAM. Despite a rogue press image on LG’s H1000B page showing the tablet running Windows XP, Windows 7 is indeed LG’s OS of choice — it ships with Windows 7 Starter but Professional is just an upgrade away. The H1000B also features an SD card slot, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth and an $850 price tag when bundled with a portable WiMAX router in Korea. LG has not announced any details surrounding launches in additional markets.

    Like the design. Not so much the price for a touchscreen netbook by an unproven computer maker

    I have nothing in regards to a comment about this joke, much like the many companies (not named Apple) trying to shill tablets.

      What’s funny about using a tablet for work?

        Nothing, SAP has 2,000 iPads deployed to employees with thousands more on the way.

        How is that relevant to anything? Motorola has countless more mobile devices in the work place than Apple.. I guess I should go get a chirp then..

    It runs Windows for a reason. Many Korean banks and e-commerce sites use a mix of SEED (a homegrown security protocol) and ActiveX controls (which, of course, are IE-only and Windows-only) for secure e-commerce. Sometimes, Koreans have to install 10+ ActiveX controls in IE just to buy something online. These ActiveX controls are easily hacked, particularly in XP boxes that still have IE6 installed.

    However, many of these sites are starting to switch to 128-bit SSL. This way, users of non-Microsoft operating systems and mobile devices can shop and bank online, something that both Americans and most Europeans have been able to do for years.

    why this doesn’t have DROID OS on it is beyond me

    $850 one word “FAIL” .Apple still rules the world. And NOT one company trying to jump on Apple’s iPad bandwagon will even remotely come close to the quality or the amount of units sold by Apple.

    It would be interesting to see how this tablet fares, but for now I don’t see anything challenging the dominance of the iPad. I would love to see what LG (and other manufacturers) have to offer a few months down the line.
