Sharp Medias Tablet N06D

When it comes to devices and gadgets, the Japanese are known for exclusivity when it comes to the features they offer. It seems that there are gadgets that are just made specifically for the Japanese and nowhere else. But of course, some of these interesting devices also go stateside as some other countries try to adopt certain technologies that start in the Land of the Rising Sun. One of them might probably be this new Sharp Medias Tablet N06D for NTT DOCOMO. The new Sharp Medias Tablet N06D is being introduced as the world's thinnest waterproof tablet. It comes with a slim 9.9mm thin profile. It also features a 7 inch WXGA HD touchscreen display, equipped with high quality audio speakers and is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual core processor. It will run on the Android OS and is marketed in Japan to support the NOTTV channel that is set to start broadcast in April. The Sharp Medias N06D Tablet will be available through NTT DOCOMO and is expected to be available sometime in April. Pricing details for this tablet have not yet been announced.

Sharp upgrade its GALAPAGOS Tablets to Android 2.3

Sharp's Android based Galapagos e-Book readers still struggle to attract customers. But regardless of the demand, Sharp announced that it will propose an OS Upgrade of all its Galapagos Tablets to Android 2.3 within July 25 in Japan.

Still don't expect much since you won't have the chance to really enjoy Android that much here due to Sharp's heavy remodeling of the OS.
