Marvell wants to get into the tablet business and it is showing a prototype that will offer web access and high-definition content at a price that would beat the competition by a wide margin.
The prototoype tablet, called Moby, is targeted mainly at students who may be looking for a digital device that could give them access to books and the internet, and could also act as a music player.
The Moby tablet will be powered by Marvell’s ARMADA 600 series of application processors. These chips can offer gigahertz-class speed, says the company. The device will also bring 1080p full-HD capability, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity and FM radio. Marvell hasn’t disclosed detailed technical specifications for the device.
It looks pretty sweet to me considering that one of it's main competitors, the apple iPad, is slated to have a $700 price tag and will not have multitasking capabilities like Marvell's Moby. So apple owners, put on your Northface Fleeces, head back to Ann Arbor in your hybrid cars and shove that one down your throat.
Ok before people get all pissy about that last comment, I would just like to state for the record that I do indeed own a Northface and a Macbook. And though that last statement was a huge generalization, you have to admit, it's a very common occurrence among the Ann Arbor crowd these days...that and herpes. Peace.
