Two new tablets from MSI that debuted as prototypes during CES, have received updated specs and been confirmed for release at the Digital Consumer Channel event held in the United Arab Emirates.
The first is a single-screen 9.7″ model reported to run Windows 7. No specifications are available at this time, but attendees at the event noticed a MicroSD slot, and more importantly, a USB port. This should give it a leg-up on the current king of the hill, Apple’s iPad.
However, the second tablet has a unique design all its own. Sporting two fully-functional touch screens that fold up like a notebook, this little tablet can turn sideways and read like a book, or sit in a traditional orientation where the bottom screen becomes a touch keyboard. Also running Windows 7 on its Atom platform, this mobile PC seems to combine form and function in a stylish manner.
No other details are available, though an MSI representative at the event is reported to have said to expect a launch date later this year. What do you think; will this be an iKiller? Leave your comments below.
