WePad Demo – Is that really all they have?


Evidently, this is the current Android answer to the Apple iPad. At first glance it looks pretty cool. It appears that it also has a USB port to plug in a mouse if you wish to. If you look a little closer at the demo it appears that the first device showcased does not have touch screen capability. Therefore, the mouse is not a luxury but rather a necessity to make it work. The next device with the touch screen appears to me to be a standard bulky touch screen monitor running android.
I am by know means an Apple guy, in fact, I own nothing made by them. I must admit thou that I did like the iPad when I got to test it out a few weeks ago.  It’s not only the OS but the hardware itself that gives apple an edge on this technology.  This poor video demo of the WePad gets an F from me.
If you take nothing more from Steve Jobs, understand not to showcase your product until it is ready to go. Hopefully, a real hardware company will develop a Pad that runs Android so we can see if it can compete. Lets just hope Goggle can get those E-mail issues all ironed out.

How deep of research did you conduct into the WePad?

I didn't take much to noticed they have developed a tablet without a touch screen. Unless they have come up with a way to control the tablet via mind powers, I don't think their solution is going to cut it. That is of course unless you have a German guy with a mouse following you around to control your computer.
