Apparently Intel is on a bit of a roll already at this year's
IDF. After showcasing and talking up a number of new products, including (but not limited to) the lap-destroying mobile Quad Core Extreme CPUs (as featured in Lenovo's vicious
W700), new switchable graphics solutions that allow on-the-fly toggling between integrated and discrete graphics, and
even more talk about forthcoming WiMAX options. What really got everyone's eye, however, was a slide they teased with at the end of Mobility Group VP / GM Dadi Perlmutter's presentation of a mystery touchscreen tablet with the ominous question "What is this?" and a promise to reveal the goods tomorrow morning. Call us dangerously psychotic, but it looks like a clunky medical accessory to us. Paging Dr. Design to Intel's R&D lab, STAT.

Cool ... a portable mirror? Finally.
Or .. OLPC ? With a massive handle obviously a product for kids.
I hope it has GSM.
Yeah Intel is not fooling me, that's the concept medical device that they've been showing off in some early videos.
Just what I've always wanted. A Fisher Price tablet pc. Thanks, Intel.
haha. yea it looks like a toy.
yes, an intel KiddyTablet that they can draw Ronald McDonald on
Definitely a medical tablet from the Digital Health group.
Another tablet PC designed for the healthcare industry?
Looks like a See and Spell. I've been waiting for this update.
Speak and Spell, rather. See and Spell was something totally different. Joke ruined!
Ugly?
OLPC 2 - Not for poor kids edition
After working hard on killing off the OLPC and working on doing so to the Kindle Intel copies the fruits of their labor.
What is this? Find out tomorrow if you care.
I think it is, more appropriately: "What the f*#@ is this?!?!?!"
Intel's probably gonna use this forum to see is someone can come up with some kinda idea for an application that they can use this dumb thing for! ;-)
It is a MCA mobile clinical assistant.
This looks a lot like the C5 and F5 models from Motion Computing made primarily for healthcare workers.
doesn't that look like the original imac laptop?
It looks like the Intel Web tablet finally is coming out.
Drastic overhaul from the prototype model I got my hands on like 5 years ago...
Let me show you all a comparison cameraphone pic.
