We have Apple's iPad, Dell's Streak, Blackberry's PlayBook tablet, Toshiba's Froyo 100. It's big time that we add Hitachi into the list too. With plenty different versions of internet tablet already on the market, Hitachi had to come with something that attracts the consumers.

The 6.6-inch tablet by Hitachi has a resolution of over 1600 x 1200 across an IPS panel for an amazing 302 pixels per inch of the device. For those who still don't understand the gravity of this specification, let me just clear your doubts and put things into perspective. These are super attractive displays for a tablet.

The above specifications are very close to Apple's 3.5 inches astonishingly clear retina display and is way above the 132 ppi density of iPad's 10 inch display that has resolution of just 1024 x 768 pixels. It is also much improved over the 169 ppi density of the 7-inch 1024 x 600 pixels Galaxy Tab and the recently launched Blackberry PlayBook.

Though the size does get complex yet, Hitachi's tablet seems to easily manage 400 nits of brightness and 800:1 of contrast ratio. We are still not sure of the launch date of this blackhorse tablet, �neither are we certain about its pricing. We will keep you updated when we have any updates.
