This Foxconn Tegra tablet stole the show at NVIDIA’s press conference today at CES, packing in HD video power along with a quirky, finger friendly UI. Oh, and did we mention Foxconn happens to make the iPhone for Apple? Naturally, we went and got a hands-on, so read on for all the snaps.
UPDATE: Apple has confirmed the suicide, saying: “We are saddened by the tragic loss of this young employee, and we are awaiting results of the investigations into his death.” Apple did not comment on reports that the employee had been handling a new prototype, or mistreated by Foxconn security, but did say”We require our suppliers to treat all workers with dignity and respect.”
A sad story is hitting the headlines in the East right now: according to Chinese press, a next-gen iPhone prototype an engineer was responsible for went missing, leading to the employee being investigated. Shortly after, he committed suicide.
Sony was apparently a bit snooty about the small size, low cost laptop market at first, but now it’s had a change of heart and is apparently readying its own range to hit the market before Christmas.
