"The German maker of a new tablet PC is setting out to rival
Apple's iPad with the promise of even more technology such as a
bigger screen, a webcam and USB ports.
"It is not, however, an "iPad killer" as it has been dubbed by
some blogs but an alternative to its bigger rival, Neofonie's
founder and managing director Helmut Hoffer von Ankershoffen told
reporters in Berlin.
"Ankershoffen stressed the system's openness: Two USB ports
allow users to connect all kinds of devices with the WePad, from
external keyboards to data sticks."
