German manufacturer Neofonie revealed a few more details about its upcoming Android-based WePad, including a general ship date. If all goes to plan, the WePad will make its debut sometime in July followed by volume shipments in August, just in time for the back to school rush.
We still don't know how much it's going to cost, but according to news and rumor site Fudzilla, initial listings show the tablet checking in at around $570 after the exchange rate. We haven't seen any listings ourselves, but if that is how much the WePad ends up selling for, it might have a tough time competing against lower priced models, including Apple's $500 entry-level iPad.
On the hardware front, the WePad will sport an Intel Atom N450 processor clocked at 1.66GHz, 1GB of memory, 16GB of flash storage, an SDHC card slot, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, and a pair of USB ports. The 11.6-inch screen is slightly larger than the iPad's, and at 800g, it doesn't weight a ton more either.
