Sharp's Galapagos Tablets: A Peek into the Future

In the world of technology, Sharp's Galapagos tablets have been generating quite a buzz. The Japanese electronics giant has announced plans for a December 2010 launch of these tablets, offering two versions: a 5.5 inch and a 10.8 inch.

The smaller, 5.5 inch tablet, known as the mobile tablet, boasts a 5.5-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,024 × 600 pixels. It will also come in two vibrant colours: red and black. The larger, 10.8 inch tablet, or the "Home Edition", functions much like the Apple iPad, with a built-in accelerometer and swiping to turn pages. It boasts an impressive resolution of 1,366 × 800 pixels, beating out the iPad's resolution.

The tablets will run on the Google Android operating system, but details about the specific version and pricing remain elusive. The lack of information regarding these aspects is a mystery that remains unsolved.

Michael Kozlowski, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has been discussing these tablets, along with e-readers, audiobooks, and e-books, in a recent video. However, the video does not delve into the new features or specifications of the Galapagos tablets. It also does not mention the two versions of the tablets or provide any new information about the trackball on the 5.5 inch tablet or the built-in accelerometer and swiping functionality on the 10.8 inch tablet.

Despite the lack of detailed information, the anticipation for Sharp's Galapagos tablets is palpable. The company has developed a new class of tablets with e-reader functionality, marking a significant step in the ever-evolving world of technology. As we approach December 2010, we eagerly await more details about these exciting new devices.
