Apple tablet to be unleashed at CES – has 7-inch display
According to businessinsider, Apple is preparing to show us all a new, larger mobile device sporting higher resolution than the iPhone and iPod Touch. This could be the Apple iTablet (or whatever it will be called), that we have been hearing from months.
Apple is telling the developers to set their apps to support full resolution rather than just restricting to 320×480 which is the resolution of iPhone and iPod Touch.
The recent rumor says that the display size of the upcoming tablet is 7-inches, not 10-inches that we have been hearing so far.
It is pity that most of the netbook manufactures have left the 7-inch and 8.9-inch netbook market and Apple is going to unleash a device sporting 7-inch display.

Shuai Cool UMPC-891A: Apple Tablet wannabe?
Meet the uber cool UMPC from Shenzhen, the Shuai Cool UMPC-891A, a slate-style UMPC with a 8.9-inch touch screen. Weighing at only 1.01kg, it measures 250mmx168mmx21.3mm.
It comes with an Intel Atom N270 processor (1.6GHz), Intel GMA950 graphic chipset, 1GB RAM and 16GB SSD for storage. Although sporting the innards of netbook, it comes with built-in 3G module and GPS module, both of which are not found in the specs of a standard netbook unless you are going for something like SONY VAIO X which comes with all these goodies. And ofcourse, you get built-in WiFi and Bluetooth radios. Also, as it is pretty common with Chinese devices, you also get digital TV functionality.
Ports: 3x USB 2.0 ports (2 on left side and another on right side), VGA port, 1 Ethernet port, 3-in-1 card reader, audio and microphone jack.
The COOL UMPC is fitted with only 1700mAh battery, which certainly won’t give you a lot of run time for sure, but looking by its looks, the whole concept seems to be about keeping the device as slim as possible (0.83 inches).
It supports a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows 98 and Me. List of supported OS: Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Linux.

The EEE Pad is inspired by Apple’s iTablet (or whatever that will be called).
Well, looks like the ASUS is not much happy with the current sales of ASUS EEE T91 and that is perhaps the core reason that has led to the development of yet another tablet device.
