There may be a new must have device for gamers. Or perhaps not. The Wikipad
was supposed to launch late last year. However, the release of the new
gaming tablet was delayed due to a flaw in production. However, the
company behind Wikipad may have turned lemons into lemonade, when they
used extra time from the unexpected delay to revise their product.
Product changes were based in part on feedback they received from social
media regarding both the size and the price point.
The price for the device will be lower than the company had
originally planned. There were concerns that the Wikipad was priced too
high for a tablet. The new $249 price tag is expected to be much more
competitive in the tablet market.
Other changes are to the actual device itself. The Wikipad will be sized at 7 inches,
rather than the 10 inch model that had previously been displayed.
Also, in accordance with the Wikipad’s focus on gaming, changes were
made to the dual-analog stick controller. The company is definitely
making sure that this tablet is known as a machine built specifically
for gaming. The Wikipad specifications include 16:10 aspect ratio
widescreen HD 7 inch IPS screen.
Other notable features include a NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core mobile
processor, optimized for cloud-based gaming. The tablet has a
completely unique gamepad controller. It is this controller that the
Wikipad hopes will draw users from other tablets, as many games are much
easier to play with a controller.
The Wikipad
also offers game content from Google Play, PlayStation Mobile, Tegra
Zone, and Big Fish Games, among others. This content, along with the
richer gaming experience provided by the controller, are part of what
the creators of Wikipad hope will draw users to their device. While
that still remains to be seen, it is certain that the new and improved
Wikipad is expected to be available in the spring.
