Sharp Launches Galapagos Tablets In Japan

The Register UK has more: “Announced back in September, the range comprises 5.5in, 1024 x 600 and 10.8in, 1366 x 800 models, running an unspecified OS but linked to a range of online content shops. The emphasis is very much on media consumption and communications, so it’ll be interesting to see if any kind of store for third-party apps builds up around these boys.”

The tablets will compete with the iPad and the growing number of tablets on the market, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Dell Streak and the coming PlayBook from RIM.
