Computex 2011: Intel Oak Trail Honeycomb Tablets Showcased (Video)

With ARM and Android making waves in the mobile device segment, Intel surely wants to have a say on this market. OK, so maybe Nokia has been slowing them down, but that’s no reason to not get to business ASAP, right? Computex 2011 is the perfect time to showcase some Oak Trail Honeycomb slates, like the ones below.

What you see here are prototypes, with 10 inch displays and the models in the image above are the Intel Green Ridge, Foxconn F150, Quanta QXZI, a mystery Compal device without a name, Intel Marco Polo 2 and Intel Carrot. The chipmaker didn’t provide the names of ODMs behind this references designs, so it’s all guessing games.

The Foxcoxnn slate si based on Gingerbread, while the others are all Honeycomb 3.0.1 material, luckily. However, as shown in the video below, these prototypes don’t quite handle Android 3.0 as they should, struggling with the loading animation. Android Market is also missing from them , but Intel is sure it’ll be present in the final versions. Build quality is also far from impressive, but this is a trade show after all…

Intel Planning Android 3.0 Tablet, Included in PRC Plus Plan

Intel has a new plan for tablet PCs, it seems, dubbed PRC Plus, that will include Android 3.0 and a major announcement in Q3 2011. It took half a year of negotiations with Google to make this real, according to sources in the notebook biz. Intel refuses to comment on market rumors in the meantime.

This PRC Plus plan is meant to use the Intel CPU in order to create stronger products than the AMD-based rivals. Also, the interface and user experience will be improved due to the Intel platform. Intel also intends to pay a subsidy of $10 for each tablet PC based on their CPU, in order to attract notebook vendors.

Acer, Lenovo, Asustek and even Cisco will be among the partners using Intel solutions, according to sources.
