Other companies are hitching on Apple’s bandwagon for Tablet PC. One of these is FreeScale Semiconductors. Not famous for making inroads to the computer market, FreeScale is a spin-off company from Motorola that formerly used to supply PowerPC processors to Macintosh machines until Apple switched to Intel processors in 2006. FreeScale is gearing up its SmartBook as a serious contender in the Tablet PC market just like Viewsonic for releasing their Viewsonic Vtablet 101 Android-Powered Tablet PC. However, Freescale is is offering its SmartBook for a bargain price of $199! This is in strong contrast to the price of the Apple iPad which starts at $499. Apple always sells its products at a premium price and FreeScale knows not many people will be able to afford it. The company hopes that the Freescale SmartBook Tablet PC will become one of the favorites of bargain hunters and deal watchers for its low price.

The Smartbook is the hybrid son of a smartphone and netbook. Here are some Freescale SmartBook Tablet PC features and specs: its announced form factor is going to be 7 inches, much smaller than the current 10-11 inches netbooks and 1/3 the weight. It will offer 4 times more viewing display than most smartphones and the computing power of a conventional netbook. It can run on both Android and Linux Operating systems and will have built-in support for 3G and Wifi.

FreeScale also promises that the SmartBook will be capable of playing full HD 720p videos which is where smartphones and netbooks cannot do smoothly today.
