“Japanese reseller Redstar has begun taking pre-orders for an
ARM11-based 10.1-inch tablet computer from RealEase that runs the
new Shogo Linux distro. The Shogo Tablet runs on a 533MHz Freescale
i.MX37 system-on-chip (SoC) with 256MB RAM and 4GB flash, and
offers a 1024 × 600 capacitive display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
plus 3G and Zigbee options, says RealEase.

“RealEase briefly announced the Shogo Tablet and Shogo Linux
operating system back in April, and began shipping the tablet
earlier this month directly to OEMs for $500, with discounts for
larger quantities. Now, Japan-based Redstar is taking pre-orders
for the Shogo Tablet for 56,800 Yen (about $673), according to
AkihabaraNews.

“Aside from its rather modest ARM11 processor, the device
appears to stack up well against other high-end tablets, especially
among non-Android Linux models. While Redstar launches retail sales
for the device, RealEase appears to be offering the tablet
primarily to OEM firms.”
