UK firm releases iTablet to rival Apple

The dust has just about settled from the iPad’s launch, although British computer firm X2 has decided to kick up a bit more by announcing a new tablet device.

It’s called the iTablet, which – along with the iSlate – was one of the names Apple was rumoured to be considering for its tablet computer.

Pitching itself at the same gadget fans Apple always has in its sights, the X2 iTablet comes in two flavours, with a 10 and 12 inch touchscreen, and it runs Windows 7.

It’s reportedly powered by a 1.6GHz Intel processor, a hard drive of up to 250GB in size, and has multi-touch support as an option.

We should see the iTablet in shops come April, at around the same time as the iPad, funnily enough. No details on pricing are known in either case.

Whether or not X2’s name choice name will have Apple’s lawyers hastily concocting a case against it, we shall have to see. It seems like sailing very close to the iWind to us, though.
