Apple’s announcement of their tablet is a few days away so manufacturers are trying to get their versions out first. And so DigitalRise has released the S1 Slate, a cheaper version of its multitouch X9. Most of us will likely still wait a few days to see what Apple’s has, but here’s a look at what this $630 tablet offers. It does look nice.

Some specs include an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, 10.2-inch display at 1024 x 600 resolution, 3000mAh lithium-ion battery, 1.3 megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi and Windows 7. Is it an Apple tablet killer? Doubt it, but we will know soon.

DigitalRise has a new multitouch tablet called the X9, which is powered by an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU. The device also boasts a 10.2-inch 1024 x 600 TFT multitouch screen, an Intel GMA 950 GPU, 2GB RAM, and a 160GB hard drive.

Some other features include a 1.3MP camera, 4-in-1 card reader, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, three USB 2.0 ports, a 3000mAh Li-ion battery, and Windows 7 running everything. It also supports WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/CDMA2000 3G connectivity.

Somebody is always cloning an Apple product. I guess Apple should take that as a compliment. Here’s a fake iPod Shuffle 3G that appears to be large enough to be an iPod nano. We aren’t sure what’s actually inside as it weighs just 14 grams.

Well, we do know that it has an integrated FM tuner with audio recording, a phone book, and an e-book reader. Which is quite a feat as it has no screen. If you want to know more, I suggest you drop the necessary $23 and try to use it with ebooks.
