A German tabletmaker is set to challenge the Apple iPad with a tablet that seems to be everything we wanted the iPad to be. The WePad [I can smell a lawsuit for using the “Pad” suffix already] packs 2 USB ports, slots for memory and SIM cards, does multitasking and has an integrated webcam. The WePad OS is based on a Linux variant that supports Flash, Java and access to Android Marketplace and other app stores through its WePad Store “meta-store”.
The fly in the ointment? The WePad is just vapurware… for now. But the company is planning a July soft launch and to start selling from August — and claim to have 20,000 pre-registered orders already. But, can anyone match Apple’s touchscreen experience?
