Tatung launching 10.4-inch WebPad TX-3000 tablet PC
Not too many details on this one just yet, but the good news is that Tatung is reportedly readying the 10.4-inch WebPad TX-3000 for release -- at least in Thailand, that is. Apparently, the company has been busy showing off the machine at Taitronics Bangkok 2007, and word on the street puts an AMD LX 800 processor and 1GB CompactFlash card within, and we could also see 802.11b/g WiFi, USB 2.0, PCMCIA, VGA output, audio in / out, and a three-hour battery pack on the final release. Sadly, we've no idea exactly when Tatung plans on loosing this thing to the public, but we're hoping it won't keep those eager to snap one up waiting for too much longer.

Looks exactly like the piece of crap they made back in 2000. I had a few of them (with CE 4.2) and they were totally useless.

Once seriously troubled, Tatung got lucky and is making profits from solar energy (http://www.getinc.com.tw/11.html). It never is good at making computers. Nor does any innovative electronics it make. However, it does make a good product: http://www.tatung.com/b5/appliance/hui/ricecooker/tac.htm
Almost, if not all, students from Taiwan bring one abroad. :D And, this is where its fortune came from.

And it's not even running XP Tablet edition in that picture...

With it's weak specs I'd guess it runs XP embedded.

I actually had a quite nice Tatung LCD display. But then it looked like crap when I got my Samsung ones.

Running 500MHz? Strange, I got a TX2000 (for sale) running 750MHz with a 4GB drive and all the other specs as well.

A 3 hour battery? 800x600 with a 1024x768 available as an option?
Let's keep adding high-powered features but completely forget about battery life in real-world uses.
Fantastic. Cutting edge. Yawn.
