Marvell pitches $99 Moby Tablet though textbook alternative

Once chipmaker Marvell told u. s. its technology would power $99 smartphones, we have a tendency to took the legal corporate at its word.
We were not expecting a sub-$100, 10-inch tablet Portable, however -- plus which we absolutely weren't expecting Marvell itself to build it.
Marketed at scholars searching to lighten his or her textbook load, the Marvell Moby have a tendency to be going to be an "always-on, high performance multimedia tablet" capable up of full Flash support and 1080p HD playback -- many thanks to these nifty Armada Six hundred series processors -- and supporting WiFi, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPS and both Android and Windows Mobile platforms for optimum flexibility.
No unleash date has got nevertheless been announced; just prefer the OLPC, Marvell could be sufficient to introduce the Moby in pilot programs at collaborating at-risk faculties. Whereas it has miles too early to assert if the Moby will be the universal educational e-reader Marvell hopes (that depends as to software), it's certainly an intriguing device for the pricetag, and we'll admit we're a touch jealous of these children who'll initial get to attempt one.
