ECS TA80TA1 Tablet Specs

After the announcement by the wave of its tablet by 8 inch and 9.7, appear another tablet with Intel Atom Bay Trail: this is the ECS TA80TA1, a device that we have already tried at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February but at the time did not know the technical data.

The device will have an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, while inside, next to the Intel Atom 1.3 GHz, Z3735 from the same quad core used in the wave, there is 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB dedicated to storage and expandable through microSD reader. There will be also a microUSB port and video output miniHDMI, while from the pictures you can clearly see that there are two speakers placed at the rear. The battery finally has a value of 4150 mAh, but we don't know who will guarantee autonomy.

What I still don't know is how much will it cost your tablet and when it will be available for sale, at least as far as the United States, but usually between the publication of the documentation on the site of FCC and the arrival on the shelves do not spend too much time.

ASUS Tablets with Dual OS Android and Windows 8

Dual OS Android and Windows 8 : ASUS gave up the tablet for Google and Microsoft
ASUS Transformer is forced to give up Duet Book TD300, the tablet with Dual OS - Android and Windows 8 - due to pressure from Google and Microsoft. Neither multinational has enjoyed the project Taiwanese company , who wanted to provide our customers with the ability to switch easily from one operating system to another : I myself have never hidden to have some misgivings about the initiative and not I am surprised of the rapid failure of the product, which was presented at CES 2014 in Las Vegas in January.

What happened to ASUS may extend to other producers , given that Intel and AMD have embraced the same philosophy - offering of processors dedicated to coexistence between Android and Windows 8. I still think that a cohabitation has no reason to exist , not only because Windows RT could perform the same functions of the operating system from Google . Support the utility of products as Surface 2, a slate that can act as a laptop or tablet , but always based on a single platform at the software level.

Dual OS, which BlueStacks uses AMD 's plans - while Transformer Duet Book TD300 , with Intel, proposed a different solution - is a hybrid that does not allow you to fully enjoy the features of Android either , nor those of Windows 8. ASUS wanted to give it a try and was immediately blocked by Google and Microsoft , for once, seems to agree: the two operating systems can not coexist and producers will have to get over it , not to spoil relations with both. I doubt that we will see other experiments.
