According to Pierre Cardin’s UK distributor, tablets could become seen as “cold and boring”, which is probably it is selling the elegant Pierre Cardin Tablet PC.
The £275 tablet comes with Android 2.2, a multi-touch capacitive touchscreen (800×480 pixels), video calling camera and a 1GHz processor. It has Wi-Fi built-in and 3G as an option via a dongle.
Unlike some cheap tablets, the Pierre Cardin Tablet PC has access to Android Market and other Google apps, as well as GPS and Bluetooth support.
The tablet also comes with a tailored case to protect the tablet, while the distributor also mentions the snazzy box it comes in, presumably a reference to the packaging used by Apple that often gets to be considered a work of art in its own right.
