jfally Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Quoted directly from Engadget: Half a year ago, you'd have been forgiven for expecting that today both Windows 7 and Mac OS X would have flagship tablets representing them, in the shape of the HP Slate and the Apple iPad. Alas, one of those devices ran away to enterprise land and the other opted for a mobile OS. It's against this backdrop of disappointment that Axon's Haptic tablet enters, with confirmation that its Atom-based innards are fully compatible with Linux, Windows and Mac operating environments. With a 10.1-inch resistive touchscreen, 320GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, and a trio of USB ports, it's another of those devices you could classify as a keyboard-less netbook, but at least its OS versatility will give it a leg up. Then again, with a pre-order price of $750 and no bundled OS licenses, we suspect it might need a little more than that to succeed where so many have failed.

Personally, I don't think they will since they aren't preinstalling OS X on the device itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmaniac Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Very interesting. from the Axon-Logic website: ..however, the EULA specifically prohibits installation on a "non-Apple branded" computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Over priced and a crappy touch screen I'll pass. I'm sure a better product will come along as touch pads gain more market share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
