Sharp updates NetWalker to be Linux tablet
In August last year Sharp introduced a new device it referred to as an ultra-compact netbook. It was named the NetWalker, and went to market in September.
The spec of the NetWalker included a 5-inch display, Freescale 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB storage, and Ubuntu Linux OS. Weighing in at 409 grams and rated at 10 hours battery life it was certainly portable, but possibly too small for most people.
Several months later and Sharp has decided to update its NetWalker range with an even smaller device. In what is clearly a response to the iPad, Sharp has seen fit to remove the keyboard from the latest model of the NetWalker and turn it into a tablet device.
