Alessi is an Italian company well known for making kitchen appliances, and now it seems they intend to get into the tablet business with the AlessiTab Android Tablet.
The AlessiTab is a tablet that runs Google’s Android OS, and it is designed to be used around the home and comes with an interesting dock.
Design and Features
The AlessiTab is not just another Android tablet; it is specifically designed to blend seamlessly into a home environment. The tablet features a sleek, modern design that aligns with Alessi’s reputation for stylish kitchen appliances. The dock that comes with the AlessiTab is particularly noteworthy. It allows the tablet to stand upright, making it ideal for use in the kitchen where it can serve as a digital cookbook, a media player, or even a smart home control center.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many details of what is inside the AlessiTab. What we do know is that it will feature a battery that is good for up to six hours of usage. This makes it suitable for extended periods of use, whether you’re following a recipe, watching a movie, or browsing the internet. The tablet will be launched in Europe in September 2010.
Technical Specifications
As you can see from the video above, the AlessiTab looks quite interesting. It will feature an SD card slot and a USB port, which are essential for expanding storage and connecting peripherals. However, there are no details on which version of Android it will come with. Given the release date, it is likely to run an older version of Android, but updates could be possible depending on the hardware capabilities.
The AlessiTab will be available in Europe in September for about 300 Euros, which is approximately $400. This price point places it in the mid-range category, making it accessible for many consumers who are looking for a versatile tablet that can be used in various rooms of the house.
One of the potential uses for the AlessiTab is as a smart home hub. With the increasing popularity of smart home devices, having a centralized control unit like the AlessiTab could be very convenient. You could use it to control lighting, heating, and even security systems, all from one device.
Another interesting application is in the kitchen. Imagine having a tablet that not only displays recipes but also connects to your smart oven or refrigerator. You could receive cooking instructions, set timers, and even get notifications when your food is ready, all through the AlessiTab.
