Can The Vega Tablet Make You Forget About That Apple Thing?

We won’t get to see the product in person until CES in January, but I’m getting more and more excited about ICD’s Vega tablet every day. This device has all the elements of a great tablet — I hope it lives up to them. Let’s see, there’s the Nvidia Tegra processor, HD media, touchscreen, 3G connectivity,  Android OS, and even three sizes (and price points): 7, 11 and 15 inches. It’s also a good-looking machine.

We’ve seen what Tegra can do with the Zune HD, and the possibility of that in a larger form factor with more power behind it is exciting. Vega may not be alone in this regard (it doesn’t appear to be the same tablet Nvidia’s CEO was waving around last week), so it will be interesting to see how ICD will make it stand out.

Sure, this tablet line will likely be overshadowed by a certain product coming from Cupertino, but at least we know it’s real. And we’re all for competition.
