RedFox Technologies announced over the week-end the availability of its long-overdue tablet PC — the RedFox WizPad. First mentioned back in July, the WizPad is a 10-inch tablet running an Intel Atom CPU and Windows 7.
We got to check out one at an SM Appliance Store yesterday to see it first-hand and to get the suggested retail price.
RedFox WizPad
10″ capacitive display screen @ 1024×600 pixels
Intel Atom N455 1.6GHz
Intel GMA 3150
1GB DDR3 RAM
16GB SSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
2 USB 2.0 ports
SD card slot
There’s a G-sensor that allows you to flip the screen 360-degrees and auto-orients the display accordingly, much like the iPad.
Though there is an open slot for a 3G SIM card, it does not have a modem installed. The sales rep says, it’s optional and can be upgraded at point of sale. Claimed battery life is around 6 hours.
RedFox also promises larger capacity models like a 32GB SSD storage and 2GB DDR3 RAM in future releases. RedFox mentioned before that this is gonna be a multi-OS tablet which is technically true considering it’s got the guts of your typical netbook. You can probably easily install Meego or Ubuntu in here via the USB port (or maybe even Android).
This particular model comes pre-installed with Windows 7 and has a hefty price tag of Php31,999.

[...] on Android, Redfox is also one of the very few ones that makes Windows-based tablets (the 10-inch Redfox WizPad). They’re basically netbook-specs in a tablet format. That means you can pick your own OS and [...]
Wizpad is not dumb. The third model comes with Genuine Windows 7 HOme Premium. Plus, it has a slot for sim card.It is way…way…better than the Ipad and Samsung Galaxy! Any half-brained human can see that.

I suppose it boils down to what you intend to do with it. Too many products out there try to do a little of everything and end up not being excellent at anything. This is where I think Apple really excels. They define the right elements to focus on to create a great user experience.
From what I’ve seen, this is supposed to be a Tablet PC. So yes, not directly comparable to an iPad if you talk tech wise.
But if you view it from the user side, what exactly is this Red Fox tablet supposed to do? At the end of the day, it still is a Tablet, and in a way that sorts of determines how you can use it.
I personally think Tablets are more for consumption, rather than production. Primarily to surf, read, view photos, videos etc. Tablets are not even really for portability I think. It’s more of something you use around the house while you’re lying on your couch, in bed, etc in a way the same way that you would usually read a book/newspaper, etc.
A PC is more for work, for actually producing something. Net, something a bit more powerful, more stable, more storage etc. It’s not so fun and easy really to type a long document in a tablet, or do big spreadsheets, etc.
This is why I think the Red Fox WizPad is somehow planned wrong. It tries to be a PC in tablet form in a market that’s benchmarking against the iPad.
I’ve seen this and it’s cute, everything is expensive now, so what do u expect?
