At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, Freescale was showing off what its chips can do. Freescale’s 7″ tablet reference architecture was meant to inspire manufacturers. And to my eyes, I think they’ll generate lots of interest. Since CES, they’ve added Chromium and Android OS to the line-up— at CES, they had a Linux mock-up. The expected retail price for a Freescale gadget is in the $200 to $250 range. Check out the demo after the jump.
Updated 3/23/2010: Read James Surowiecki’s article on why low-end (FreeScale-based) and high-end tablets (iPad) will dominate the market.
This YouTube is choppy, and appears to have been made at the Mobile World Congress in February. Skip to 11:20 to see the tablet running Flash 10 (hat tip Tightwad Technica).
