Panasonic Unveils Business-Oriented Tablets for Japanese Salarymen

Panasonic Japan has announced two new Android-powered tablets that cater to the local market. The Panasonic BizPad JT-580VT comes with a 7-inch LCD screen, while the JT-581VT has a 10.1-inch LCD. Both tablets run on Android 3.2 and are tweaked for enterprise users.

The tablets are ruggedly-designed, making them withstand against accidental drops, dust, and water. Panasonic claims the larger of the two tablets can absorb drops from as high as 80 centimeters, while the smaller one can handle 120 centimeters.

Both devices also feature an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, 1GB memory, 16GB flash, an NFC reader, a replaceable battery, Bluetooth 2.1, a USB port, GPS, microSD slot, and even infrared.

The 7-inch model (pictured) weighs just 400 grams comes with a 1024 x 600 resolution screen, optional 3G, a 5-megapixel camera, and WiFi. It is expected to go on sale in December. Meanwhile, the 10-inch tablet comes in at 700 grams and features a 1280 x 800 resolution screen, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and WiFi. It will go on sale in January 2012. No word yet on whether the BizPads will be sold outside Japan.
