The once famous media player maker iriver is joining the “tablet revolution,” starting with its own backyard. Their newly unveiled, WOWtab is a 7-inch device with 1280×800 pixels display and NVidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. In addition, it also packs 1GB of RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB of built-in storage and so much needed microSD memory card slot (which Nexus 7 lacks).
When it comes to availability, iriver will start selling its baby in the next couple of days starting with South Korea. The price is set at 248,000 KRW, the amount that translates into roughly $230. As I’m writing this, we don’t know whether the company plans to bring WOWtab to other parts of the world. We do hope to see more competition that will undoubtedly push the prices down. In the meantime, you can check out the device’s page at iriver’s website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
