Introducing the WePad: iPad for the elderly?

March 26, 2010 by jschneier 

Some have dubbed this an iPad for "older folks" The WePad has been built with a purpose: reading newspaper and magazines –both of which are things that old people apparently like to do.

Quote:

Elderly are the core target group of newspaper and magazine publishing house" says the Neofonie, the company behind the WePad

Anyway, the WePad device will work with the existing Android Market and also have its very own WePad AppStore. It’s a bit larger than the iPad and features only 6 hours of battery life (the iPad is rated for 10 hours). It does, however feature a built-in Webcam. (which I think the iPad will eventually have also)

The company is set to " release further details on our partners and product timeline on April 12."

A fragmented appstores for these android devices will put them at a huge disadvantage compared to the ipad.
