Ziga USA Media Tablet Runs Win CE And Win2K
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 03:00 AM
"The Ziga USA Media Tablet sure is an odd product. It's built around an 8.4-inch 800 by 600 pixel LCD and runs Windows CE, but it also has a built-in DVD drive and MPEG 2 hardware decoding on board. So it's a slate-style DVD player, but also a Pocket PC. Oh, and get this—you can choose to add a hard drive and install Windows 2000. Strange, huh?"
Gizmodo mention that this does seem to be in production yet, though it may be a potentially interesting jack-of-all-trades. Why settle for one set of OS functions when you can have them all? It certainly has an impressive set of features, including resolution support for resolutions of 1920 x1440 at 18-bit colour depth. You can find more details on the SiS552 at the product page and more info about the Ziga media tablet at the Ziga website. Do any of you have any more information about the Ziga USA Media Tablet, or thoughts about this type of dual OS development?
