The MSI 10-inch Tablet is NVIDIA Tegra Based

MSI had on display an Android based tablet prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, a few weeks back. The laptop-maker has mentioned that they will be releasing many more tablets into the market. There’s news about one of them now. It is a 10-inch tablet which will be employing NVIDIA’s Tegra platform. This device was recently announced by MSI and is expected to release during the second half of this year.

The MSI tablet will have a colour touchscreen. It will offer WiFi for internet connectivity. This device is said to be capable of music, web-based games, web browsing and ebook reading. The Android OS is expected to be running in this gadget. The ASUS@Vibe platform is supposed to be used for digital content, for delivering music, games, news and ebooks. Other details have not yet been revealed.

The MSI NVIDIA Tegra Tablet is said to sport a thin and light-weight body. It is almost the same size as the Apple iPad (9.7″ screen). They seem to share plenty of common qualities as well (hopefully the MSI tablet does offer 3G connectivity). Their presence in the market can definitely affect each other’s sales. Hence, pricing will play a very important role in deciding which of them will be a better seller. The Apple iPad is expected to release in March, with a 3G enabled version to release in April, this year. Hence, MSI are at an advantage, as they can learn from Apple’s mistakes, if any.
