Apple might have surprised everyone -- including us (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/apple-itablet-the-obvious-name/) -- by naming its tablet the "iPad (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipad)," but the UK's X2 isn't letting this opportunity pass it by: it's managed to drum up some cheap attention today by announcing an "iTablet" powered by a "1.6GHz Intel processor" and running whatever flavor of Windows from XP to 7 your heart desires. Of course, what X2 isn't telling anyone is that it's actually not doing anything more than simply reselling the Amtek iTablet (http://www.amtek.com.tw/english/Products_itablet_T200=04.htm#), a product that's been out for ages and that we've covered in the past (http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/10/hands-on-with-amteks-itablet-t221/) -- you might recognize this early post (http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/amtek-intros-the-itablet-t221-umpc/) by one Mr. Joshua Topolsky in which he said the resistive touchscreen looked "quite frisky." How dramatically things change. Anyway, we don't have a detailed spec list right now, but the Amtek iTablet has a 1.6GHz Pentium M, not an Atom, so this thing could potentially be a serious dog. Feel like making with the goods, X2?X2 brings the Amtek iTablet back from the abyss, forgets that no one cared the first time (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/x2-brings-the-amtek-itablet-back-from-the-abyss-forgets-that-no/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:36:00 EST.
