It’s such an obvious move for a tablet-style PC—split the keyboard down the middle, with half on one side of the screen and half on the other—and it’s earned the Pepper wireless pad a little special love from us this CES. We were buzzing about a slightly different version of this one back in September—basically it’s a Linux-based tablet PC with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a 624MHz processor, 20GB hard drive, 256MB of RAM, built-in 802.11b WiFi, Bluetooth, an SD memory card slot. The processor is a little on the poky side, but you probably wouldn’t want to use this thing for anything too hardcore anyway.
