A German company is touting their very own tablet which, based on paper, is way faster than Apple’s upcoming iPad. They call it the WePad and it’s powered by an Atom N450 and Android OS.
Of course, they’ll highlight some stuff that are absent in the iPad, i.e. Flash support and Adobe AIR.
Check out the side by side comparison in the specs sheet:
No word on pricing though so we can’t really say which one is a clear winner.

the spec sheet misspelled applications (applictions)
The fact that it runs Flash… is already a clear winner to me. Imagine all the .flv video and all that the iPad can play is MP4 and probably mov. And Flash is just too good to leave out.

The company is obviously riding the iPad wave/tablet wave. Since we still haven’t seen the finish product of iPad… we still cannot see which is the real winner… also… other company will start bringing out their own slate and claiming more features that the iPad. If I were.. I would be smiling ear to ear… it’s like using your own product as a measure stick and see which is the best. If you put it this way.. its like
“Apple vs all Manufacturer”
Be it on computers (iMac, Macbook, etc), phones (iphones), players (iPod, Nanos, shuffles) and of course the Apps store. Mentioning any apple product on any demo/release it promotion itself.
Let’s just wait and see…. once it’s out there.. there’ll be no stopping it!!!

ANDROID!! I love Android OS. Plus, it is supposedly faster, does multi-tasking, USB ports, 3G connectivity. In paper, this surely beats iPad in almost all aspects. Maybe size /weight may be a little issue to others.
For me, I’d rather have a more complete tablet than a enlarged iPhone/Ipod touch.

Ganda naman ng wePad. Specification wise compared to iPad. Flash integration and addition of webcam in wePad is nice.
But Apple appstore has more applications than android marketplace.
We’ll never know… baka may jalbreak na iPad in the future.
Let’s wait about their price difference. Baka naman 5k++ and mahal ng wePad kaysa sa iPad.

The display size and the peripherals are going to jack up the price. Maswerte na if its only going to be 30% more expensive than the iPad.
One reason the iPad has that low price point ay dahil tinanggal nila karamihan ng features. WePad looks good in paper pero I am still waiting for the other contenders (Asus, MSI, Acer, etc.).
If it will allow me to read a book at a prolonged period of time (>5 hours) on a single charge then Im sold.
ciao!
Hopefully, it’s much more affordable than the iPad. Then again, why not just a netbook?
I HATE APPLE PRODUCTS!!!
panalo specs ng WePad. tignan na lang natin price.=)
Really found WePad’s specs > the ipad in terms of flexibility. Really hate being slaved to itunes, omitting simple flash support & those non-replaceable parts (batteries, etc).
[...] Neofonie also introduces the WeMagazine publishing ecosystem to rival the iBookstore. Oh, the WePd has a webcam! There’s more comparisons after the break courtesy of Yugatech. [...]

booo! iPad booo! No flash support… ur X.
Going for 5″ smart phone would be better like the Dell Mini 5.
I go with WePad. HP slate is also better than iPad.
Erm… Flash on an Android? On an Atom? I hope Adobe has released the patch that allows GPU acceleration for linux before this is released because boy that’s going to crawl.
