RedFox to release Multi-OS WizPad Tablet

In a recent presentation by RedFox executives where they previewed 3 ebook readers to the members of CyberPress, they also revealed they are coming out with a tablet this September.

The tablet will be named RedFox WizPad, a play on the popular Apple iPad tablet and is expected to be announced/released this September.

The WizPad will be powered by an Intel Atom processor (could be one of the new low-powered Atom Z6xx series). Best of all, customers will have a choice of operating system for the tablet — Android, Meego, Windows 7 and and Google’s Chrome OS.

The tablet will be larger than the iPad and as slim (14mm vs. 13.4mm of the iPad) with support for multi-touch (1366×768 pixel resolution).

The device will have WiFi and 3G versions as well as optional GPS. Unlike the iPad, the WizPad will have USB ports, SD card slot, webcam and mini-HDMI port.

No pricing was indicated but RedFox says it will be priced competitively. Will know more when they finally announce this in September.

Note: I delayed writing this entry hoping I could get a copy of the Powerpoint slides they showed during the presentation. I’m still waiting for it. Photo courtesy of Techie.com.ph.

  1. cool. i just hope it’ll really be priced competitively.

  2. @abeolandres I still can’t understand why these tablets have to be WiFI OR 3G. Why not just WiFi AND 3G? I’d actually like both in one.

  3. It seems like they are thinking up these names to be the butt of a joke, iPad and WizPad, LOL. The joke to do on peoples WizPads would be to pee on their WizPad, haha.

  4. This year we will see so many ‘pads’; every manufacturer, big or small, is busy building them to not miss the boat. Many didn’t see the Kindle (for ebooks) and iphone (as smartphone) coming, so when the iPad came out the didn’t want to miss it this time. Little do they know most already did; too little too late as I see the specs. Let’s hope something nice will come.

  5. Hoping..

  6. I was able to get a hold of this device and test it for 30minutes yesterday at COMDDAP at SM cebu. The weight of the device is roughly around 800gms. It has complete peripheral port, HDMI, SD card reader, USB, camera, sim card for mobile internet, and capacitive touch screen w/c is made of glass. I was able to read ebooks in chm format only, due to lack of acrobat reader on the said device. Fairly enough its a good ebook reader except for its bat life and not so perfect capacitive touch screen.I had a slight difficulty in hitting the right button on its lower left screen. I was not convinced about its price, the redfox representative told me that they will sell this device at 49k. It only has 2hrs battery, 8hrs shorter than ipad even the 16Gb ipad. This will not be a competitive price if sold at almost 50k considering very poor bat life and non user replaceable bat and the 16Gb ipad will sell at 30k. I sudgest they put linux on it either ubuntu or android and sell it for 15k-17k and make the battery user replaceable that will be the appropriate competitive price.

  7. by the way at around 40k we can get the ipad 64gb http://www.ebuystore.com.ph at MP3 tab
    I’m not an apple fan boy but i consider the ipad as the top ebook reader/ tablet due to its colored screen and insane battery life of 10-12hrs. I will not be the judge of its success but its buyers. For the past 3 months since its lunch it sells 3million units. Its hard to believe at first but its true.

  8. I would also sudgest to Redfox that to compete with the IPAD as their representative insist its better than the apple IPAD, they should used snapdragon processor, used SSD, make the RAM to DDR3 and used alternative OS aside from windows 7 (the unit yesterday at COMPDDAP is under windows 7 with 2hrs runtime)in order to make the device run at least 6hrs. If in runs at least 6hrs and sold at 15-17k, i will buy there product.

  9. hahaha ok ahh. gaya cge gaya lang sa apple……….. atleast may competition ibang brand man yan o made in china fake gadgets…

  10. hahaha ok ahh. gaya cge gaya lang sa apple……….. atleast may competition ibang brand man yan o made in china fake gadgets…
    kuna mahaba ang battery life nito ay ok lang pero:

    problema talaga sa redfox ay yung after sales nila… pano yung battery o yung service after the warranty????
