Our previous coverage of the WITS A81 tablet MID has generated a fair amount of interest and discussion, from the updated information released last November to Wirelession distributing the A81 as the rebranded W1060. Since then we haven’t had much further news on the device, including the status of the company’s stated intentions of releasing a downloadable Android installation for owners and launching a version of the A81 with a multi-touch capacitive touch screen in Q1 2010.
While we wait for more developments in those areas, a video of the A81 has surfaced giving a thorough overview of the tablet’s interface and capabilities. The video is produced by Ownta, an online distributor that sells the tablet for $247.65 including free worldwide shipping and a free case.
The video is a good showcase of the versatility of the 7-inch tablet, demonstrating its Windows Embedded CE 6.0 OS, e-reader, image/slideshow viewer, web browser, on-screen keyboard, and video player.
Some of the demos are all too brief, as I would have liked to have seen more of the web browsing, typing, and video playback experiences, but my overall impression is positive with the performance looking fast thanks to the ARM Cortex A8-based CPU and the implementation of all the functions looking well thought out.
The lack of an accelerometer (and I believe limitations within WinCE) mean screen rotation has to be done manually and navigation on the resistive touch screen using the supplied stylus although adequate are clearly two areas where an updated Android version could improve upon. But having said that, I think the existing A81 is still an impressively versatile and full featured device. Check out the video below and see if you agree! For those interested, it’s also worth having a look at the A81 product pages on Ownta and Witstech for more information and images.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

(There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

scooby dooby doo!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I know it sounds crazy but this reminded me of Abraham Lincoln’s: “Everybody likes a compliment.”
