WePad, wee chance?

David and Goliath? This time David wears a trendy red man scarf:

A new tablet PC called the WePad is hoping to rival Apple’s iPad with a bigger screen, a webcam and two USB ports.

The German company Neofonie GmbH said their new PC is a worthy contender for Apple’s gadget.

The WePad has an 11.6in screen compared to the 9.7in iPad. It is powered by an Intel chip and relies on a Linux software basis which is compatible with Google’s Android and all Flash applications. - Daily Mail

Too funny how they try to get rid of the reflections. Half the video is about that.

Seriously though, it's all about the interface and reliability. But it's true that those standard connectors are super appealing. It also has at least one camera on the screen side for video conferencing. And it is a good bit cheaper. 569 Euro for the 60GB wifi/3G version. That's roughly $700 but that price includes 19% VAT. So to be fair you'd have to take the Ipad and add 19% to its price.

A pity they don't show how the interface works and how fast it reacts. Too little info but looks not uninteresting.

Product name sounds like a puppy training device.
