Poriant H12 for $199?
I’d never heard of Porient until I went over to Pocketables and found an article on these tablet devices and I must admit that I’m pretty impressed. There have been a few versions of the Porient tablet, the latest being the H12 (which replaces the H9). The H12 is a pretty attractive that easily fits in the hand (4.8″ ). Another interesting point to note is that the H12 has no hard disk - but it does run a Linux OS. Powering the device is an Xscale processor (yeah, it’s not a scratch on the latest devices running the Intel Atom but it still usable for internet browsing. To be fair, event he Nokia N800 can outperform the H12 in just about every department. - apart from price. TechCrunch are proposing a tablet device for $199 - if they decided to base it on the H12 they could take the market by storm.
You’ve probably guessed that there aren’t any pricing details as yet but Pocketables are in contact touch with Porient so we might hear something soon. We’ll keep you posted.
