Apple didn’t name their tablet the iTablet as some rumours predicted, but one British company hoping to piggy back on the iPad now has: presenting the X2 iTablet Windows 7 slate, with monster specs and absolutely no dignity.
The iTablet is actually surprisingly well specced for something that’s been pushed out of the gate just a week after Apple’s unveiling. It’ll run Windows 7 on a 1.6GHz Intel chip, with a 250GB hard drive inside, and there’s 3G and Bluetooth to get you connected.
On paper, the iTablet actually even beats the iPad in some respects: it packs three USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcamera and even HDMI out.
Apple iPad: all the official photos!
It’s worth remembering though that companies have been pushing out Windows tablets for almost a decade now with little success (There’s a reason Apple opted for iPhone OS rather than desktop OS X in the iPad) so there’s little reason to think the iTablet will change anything, especially when it’s 35mm (almost an inch and a half) thick.
Should you feel ready to take fanboy fightback to the next level against Apple though, you’ll be able to pick up the X2 iTablet in 10.2 and 12.1-inch flavours from April. Don’t come crying to us though if things don’t turn out as you hoped.

[...] While the iPad was an oversized iPod Touch, the iTablet actually manages to be a proper computer by the sounds of it, with three USB ports and HDMI-out, along with a 1.3-megapixel webcam. Out in April, prices haven’t been announced just yet, but given some of the aforementioned components, I would think they’d struggle to price it lower than the iPad. [X2 via Electricpig] [...]

Although the iTablet is a slate computer IMO the iTablet isn’t on the same niche as the iPad. I doubt that the iTablet could challenge iPads portability. But it could be a cheaper iPad alternative, that is if X2 can give the iTablet a competitive price

looks cool, could you do a fallowup post.
[...] Será que a Apple não gostaria de ter chamado seu tablet de iTablet ao invés de iPad? Nunca saberemos… a questão é que o nome iTablet já está registrado pela X2 a algum tempo e inclusive eles tem um produto com este nome, que por sinal parece ser bem razoável. O iTablet roda Windows 7 (ainda bem, nada de OS de celular neste aqui), e é alimentado por um processador Intel de 1.6Ghz. Existem dois tamanhos do “brinquedo”, um de 10.2 e outro de 12.1 polegadas, ambos possuem 250Gb de armazenamento, bluetooth e 3G. Enquanto o iPad é um iPod Touch anabolizado, o iTablet é realmente um computador de verdade, com três USB`s, saida HDMI e câmera de 1.3 megapixels (nossa, engoliu o iPad com essas configurações hein?). Disponível a partir de abril, o preço ainda não foi divulgado, mas acredita-se que custará mais ou menos o que custa o iPad top de linha. Na minha opinião o iTablet supera o iPad em hardware de longe, apesar de ser um pouco mais grosso (35mm, enquanto o iPad tem só 13.4mm de espessura), mas as USB`s, a saída HDMI e a câmera compensam. Basta saber se será tão rápido quanto o iPad… Via: X2 / Electricpig [...]

[...] Electricpig has the goods on the iTablet by X2 Computing. This new iWannabe will run Windows 7 and come with a 250GB hard drive. It also comes with a few features that the iPad is famously missing such as a webcam and USB ports. The iTablet will come with screen sizes of 10.2 inches and 12.1 inches, and is a rather bulky 1.38 inches thick. [...]
It seems to be just and old AMtek T200 Tablet PC, renewed with W7 instead of XP Proffessional. Nobody pays attention to devices like this one (T200) until Apple shows theirs, just like nobody paid attention to touch smart phones (with a long live before the iPhone) until Apple released their own. Very sad…
