Sharp Unveils Two Versions of Galapagos Tablets with E-Reader Functionality

In a recent press release, Sharp, a renowned Japanese electronics manufacturer, has announced the launch of two new versions of its tablets with e-reader functionality titled Galapagos. The tablets are set to hit the Japanese market on December 20, 2010.

The two versions of the Galapagos tablets are a 5.5-inch and a 10.8-inch model. The smaller version, often referred to as the mobile tablet, boasts a 1,024 × 600 pixel resolution, while the larger 10.8-inch tablet, known as the Home Edition, offers a higher resolution of 1,366 × 800 pixels. This higher resolution makes the Home Edition ideal for reading magazines or full color layouts.

Both tablets will be equipped with on-board Wi-Fi and will run on the Google Android operating system. The Home Edition functions like the Apple iPad, featuring a built-in accelerometer and allowing swiping to turn pages. On the other hand, the 5.5-inch tablet comes with a trackball for scrolling through pages.

It's worth noting that no specific details have been disclosed about the version of the Android OS or the pricing for the tablets. The source of the information is a press release from Sharp, written by Michael Kozlowski, who specializes in writing about audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers.

The Galapagos tablets are planned for a launch in Japan, but no further information about global availability has been provided. The press release was published on a specific website, although the exact URL was not provided in the paragraph.

Michael Kozlowski resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This press release marks another step forward in the ever-evolving world of technology and e-readers, as Sharp enters the market with its unique Galapagos tablets.
