While this columnist is admittedly upset that Mouse Computer named their latest product after my old college dorm room without attribution, it's certainly very exciting to see an Android-based competitor for Apple's "revolutionary" iPad coming out of Japan.
The LuvPad AD100 is a 10.1-inch tablet computer that will run on Google's Android 2.2 mobile operating system (also known as Froyo). Featuring an LED-backlit multitouch display with a resolution of 1024 × 600, the LuvPad promises comfortable Web browsing and media consumption with a built-in speaker to complement the pretty visuals. Similar to the iPad, LuvPad attempts to put all your favorite media right in your hands.
And like any Android-based iPad challenger, the LuvPad boasts support for Adobe Flash media which, despite Apple CEO Steve Jobs' best efforts, still exists in abundance on the Internet. Sporting the NVIDIA Tegra 250 chipset, the LuvPad is also poised to win over gamers too with its advanced 3-D graphics performance, again putting Mouse in direct competition with the iPad, which also excels in the gaming space.
