i-Buddie Oak Trail tablet makes cameo at MeeGo Conference 2011
Well what do we have here? We were loitering around the Intel booth here at the MeeGo Conference in San Francisco when we spotted this lonely little device resting unsupervised in the back, so we decided to give it a whirl and snap some pictures. It turns out it's a circa 10-inch tablet made by i-Buddie and built on Intel's recent Oak Trail architecture. Of course it's running MeeGo Tablet UI, but sadly we were unable to connect to the Internet -- something to do with missing WiFi drivers, according to the Intel rep who eventually caught up with us to snatch the tablet from our eager paws. We missed the opportunity to make a video, but take a look at our hands-on gallery below. %Gallery-124272%
I-Buddie shows off its Android netbook prototype
We've heard plenty of talk about Android-powered netbooks -- and even seen a few hacks demonstrating the concept in action -- but it sounds like little-known I-Buddie is actually planning on shipping a product sometime soon. That's really all we have to go on at the moment -- Sascha from netbooknews calls this a "prototype," so anything could change, but we're definitely intrigued. Here's the question, though -- would you rather have an Android netbook or a more MID-style device like the Movit Mini? We're leaning MID. Video after the break.
