If anyone was wondering where all the hybrid tablets had gone, they are still right here in our midst, as Novero all too eagerly proved during MWC 2012.
The company created the Solana laptop-tablet hybrid device, which uses a flip-rotating screen to switch from slate to notebook form factors, and vice versa.
In much the same manner, the newcomer can choose which of its two operating systems to use at any given time.
One of them is Google's Android 2.3.7, while the other is Microsoft's Windows 7 (Windows 8 is supported as well).
“By introducing Solana we have marked the next milestone in offering intelligent and affordable, multi-feature products which perfectly match today's professional consumer needs,” said Razvan Olosu, CEO, at novero.
“The idea to merge a laptop and a tablet as such is not ground breaking at all. However, the way we have designed Solana's body and brain, combining two of the most widely used operating systems, Windows and Android, and addressing the needs of the mobile business community to carry a single device for both productivity and entertainment is unique and outstanding.”
Spec-wise, the newcomer uses a dual-core Intel Atom N2600 Cedar Trail processor, 3.5G broadband support, a 32 GB-128 GB SSD, a microSD card slot, a 10-inch LCD and 2 GB of DDR3 RAM.
The price is of 550 Euro in Europe and around $699 in the US.
“I am proud that the esprit and the extraordinary capabilities of Solana do mirror the teamwork and brainpower of our development and design teams in Canada, Germany and Denmark,” the CEO stated.
“That we have our finger on the pulse of the time has already been confirmed by the great feedback we received from developers and other experts who already could experience the look and feel of Solana's first prototype at the Intel Developer Forum 2011. Now we are ready to launch Solana, and offer everybody more for less with the freedom to smoothly flip between work and fun, between laptop and tablet mode, and between Windows and Android applications."
