As reported at PCWorld, Japan's NEC has developed an Android-based tablet PC that will begin shipping in Japan this month. Unveiled at NEC's iExpo event in Tokyo, the LifeTouch features a 7-inch touchscreen and is intended for use as an access device for cloud-based services.
Based on an ARM Cortex processor, the unit incorporates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional 3G networking, a 3-megapixel camera and GPS sensor, as well as both micro USB and standard USB connectors with host-mode support and a SD card reader.
