IN Media Corp. today announced the release of the “Windows 7 Tablet PC.” The Windows 7 Tablet PC tries to run the full Windows 7 OS. The product is underpowered by the 1.66GHZ Intel Atom processor and comes with a 160 GB hard drive because its developers do not understand how people are using their iPads.
The Windows 7 Tablet PC comes with an HDMI port, a forward facing camera and what the company’s video claims is a “10-inch” screen, despite their press release stating that it’s 11.25 x 6 inches (12.75″ diagonal).
“We wanted to launch a tablet that did everything, not just a media player or eReader or net book but all those things and much more,” stated IN Media C.E.O. Nick Karnik in the sloppily-written, somewhat incomprehensible, English-as-a-third-langage press release. “The touch screen the Windows 7 Tablet PC had all the full functionality of a PC in an elegant and efficient tablet format and because of the operating system users are not limited to what type of video formats they can view as all are supported including the most popular, Flash.”
IN Media’s high quality, professionally-voiced video:
MacDailyNews Take: The understatement of the voiceover talent, especially on the phrase “Windows business productivity,” is subtle yet ineffective.
IN Media’s Windows 7 Tablet PC is scheduled for shipment in first quarter 2011 and will roll out in Asia and the U.S. at a suggested retail price of US$399. If you can’t wait, please seek immediate help.

MacDailyNews Take: Further proof that iMovie in the wrong hands can be more effective than ipecac.
This has to be a joke! I literally looks like a giant iPod Touch!
Awesome, they tout Flash by showing a credit score ad running on the side, cause that’s the content I really want to see.
MDNMW: eyes – My eyes! it Burns!
Derivative ape shite.. Next!
Who invested their money to build this product? You’d think the investors at least should be smarter than this. If I’ve ever seen a doomed product, this is it.
The investors will kick themselves they didn’t just buy AAPL stock with their money.
Yes … just what I want when I go to read a novel. Vertically scrolling pages! Faster, I’m sure, for skimming to the end of the book, but I think Apple’s “page flipping” works better for reading longer books.
Hmmmm, maybe I’ll wait for version 2.
That is a funny video. Looks like they used iMovie to make it too!
How about the soundtrack? I was getting ready to cover my kids eyes when I heard it playing. I wasn’t sure what they might unveil.
Anyone notice that the video was made using Apple’s iMovie? It has all the software’s transitions and titling.
Ugly. I already sent you a pic of what my dog Tango thinks of Microsoft earlier. Ugh
Draggig the keyboard around to see your input boxes doesn’t look much fun
Funny, I’ve just made a company spoof movie of our Christmas Party using the Comic Book Theme in iMovie…
I wonder if it has that cool Ctr-Alt-Delete button that the HP Slate has.
I could be wrong, but I believe that entire video was made with iMovie based on the text effects and the comicbook theme. Can anyone confirm that?
Are we sure this is even a real product video, because that almost looks like a spoof. Absolutely astounding if they actually expect this to succeed. Who wants to manually move the keyboard everytime they type something?
DOA
MDN Word: second, as in almost good enough to be second-rate…
…almost.
Awwwwesome jump cuts! It must have taken minutes for each keystroke to register!
Ha
All these jokers will only be a boon for Apple. Who is going to want to wade through all these different alternatives, when the only question that will matter is, “Do I want an iPad or do I hate Apple so much that I will take the time to wade through all the shite to make a decision to buy one of the other overpriced (for what you get), under-sized, battery draining, under-performing, unstable, unsecure paper weights?”
This is a parody!
Love the hit-wait-hit response.
It’s unfortunate that IN Media doesn’t have an advertising budget. I guess this thing is dead in the water.
And how long will the battery last on this hog? One hour? Two at the most, unless it actually has a laptop battery, in which case it’s going to be as thick and as heavy as a brick.
Desperation is thick as competitors try to jump on the tablet bandwagon.
Notice how they say you can run FLASH, but the only flash running was the Advertisement…!!!!!
Just so funny.
Just a thought,
en
The video is like a high school media class project. Give them credit for it being their first effort.
Rolling on the floor!
it might be a tad underpowered, but the way i see it, is this is a real computer and the maxipad is a toy.
You have to be kidding right ? Is this some kind of joke or what, lol why are they trying to commit suicide.
Sadly, I know several people who would grab one of these things without hesitation.
Are you effing serious? Is this promo video a joke? It’s about as amateur as anything I’ve ever seen.
Note to IN Media: If you’re going to create a promo video of your product, the video should make it look LESS like sh*t, not MORE.
They totally used iMovie to make that. And that soundtrack is a short loop available in Soundtrack Pro – like how they just kept butting up the loops to each other – didn’t even bother to try and mix them into one continuous (and obnoxious) stream.
Wow… with production skillz like this, this product is surely going to be a hit!
This is horrible. Why would you want a full windows on a tablet interface? why do i need a 160Gb hard drive on a tablet? wont that make it less portable and more unstable?
What is with all these so called tablets trying to come to market? no one wanted to do one before the ipad. They think oh the ipad is so well selling that we can make money too doing this. LOL.
Just because the ipad sells doesnt mean junk will sell.
Outsourced advertising. Bangalore’s finest work.
The thing that I immediately noted about the video is that it is pure deception. If you pay close attention, you’ll see that IN MEDIA Corp. isn’t showing its Windows 7 Tablet PC (Tablet) doing anything. The video simply consist entirely of highly edited shots, none of which show that the Tablet can actually do anything. The video simply uses short clips that imply, for example, that the Tablet can do a good job of displaying video. There a shot that suggest you can run an Excel spreadsheet, but we don’t actually see it running a robust Excel spreadsheet, as you can do on a Mac or PC.
Neither HP, any of the major Windows OEMs, or Microsoft itself have been able to fit full Windows 7 into a tablet and make it function decently. I very much doubt that IN MEDIA has done that with Windows 7, when even Microsoft hasn’t been able to do it, and there is nothing in the video to provide any evidence to the contrary.
thing looks heavy and thick. That chrome on the sides and i assume back looks like it would wear off overtime and chip off
This video made my day. So good! Parody is alive and well. Right? RIGHT?!
Well, I have to giggle. By far the worst promo piece I’ve seen in a long time.
I especially like the video chat man at the end of the piece, when he comes into view he has his finger firmly shoved into his ear, digging deep. Maybe he was trying to find the reset button for his brain?
“If you can’t wait, please seek immediate help.”
Oh i cant wait for it…. I love seeing MS fall on their face. Slapstick comedy gets old at times, but it is funny too watch.
That keyboard being able to move it around the screen…. Holy crap. Failure waiting to happen.
That was an internal Microsoft video meant to be funny right?
I mean it had Flash ads where they were talking about playing Flash, that has to be sarcasm, right?
The Skype of talking to some wrinkled old guy has to be a joke, right?
The movie they showed of some old fart getting into a car has to also be a joke, right?
Their first mistake? “We wanted to launch a tablet that did everything”
WOW, it is very hard to concentrate on the product, as the production value of this video is that of a 1st grader. Who in the WOLRD produced this?
this product its not gonna sell none,its failure after failure.
“You can resize images. Make them bigger, make them smaller”
OK, thanks for explaining what resize means
The soundtrack they used is also available in GarageBand. So, hey made a shitty Windows tablet and made an shitty video from it using a Mac? Nice
“If you can’t wait, please seek immediate help.”
Priceless!
This HAS to be a parody. All obviously done by themselves using iMovie stock themes and music. The VoiceOver is horrendous in both delivery and sonic quality. I think I can hear the machines running in the room!! Then being shot on their iPhones in a dim light room? HAS to be a subtle parody. If not… the end is near!
Though I am a Mac and iOS user, I don’t get into denigrating other products. But this is ridiculous. I really think MS is doing the same thing they have done before – use the same desktop OS and slap it on a tablet. I remember the frustrating days with my Lenovo tablets. This truly seems like more of the same. No progress.
Notice that the credit score bar graph that demonstrates Flash capability takes more than a full second to load before anything else can be done. That’s EXACTLY why Flash is NOT on Apple’s tablet. And I love the select-then-cutaway style that only suggests at the “snore factor” involved in using this obviously massively slow POS…but you do save $100. iPad killer indeed.
I’m thinking this has to be a joke, but when I went to the youtube user account it wasn’t a college humor site… but still… this has to be a parody because this tablet is lame.
Who`d they get to do the voice over? a Cylon? No wonder the 12 colonies fell.
At 2:04 why is that man picking his ear?
When the queues get shorter I’ll go out and buy one.
The crooked finger struggles with its gestures. The fingers have to press harder in order for the skin to have more area of contact with the surface; The GUI responds slowly; The touching sometimes does not respond, needing to retouch in a different area. All that wasted activity will degrade battery power more quickly.
Windows Mobile uses would have no access to iMovie, so the use of Apple’s iMovie on a device that does not have it is an error in judgment.
The iMovie production seems rushed.
I am not optimistic about its success beyond the marginal.
Klunky.
Was this a video short from SNL? If so, bravo!
Yaik… (yet another iPad killer:)
Obviously a vapor product meant to detract buyers from the iPad.
Any company capable of producing this device at $399 would have a budget for a real commercial. This was made by some spotty moron in his bedroom, the kids voice hasn’t even broke!
LMAO! Thank you, I needed a laugh.
the bad porn music and the voiceover that sounds like it was done in the bathroom makes this product a Winner!
That was not a professional voiceover. I’m willing to bet it was someone in the company. Overall, not too impressive.
Another piece of shtty crap
I can’t believe that this could be for real, there are too many alarm bells ringing for it to be real.
Some of them are: using iMovie, the horrible acoustic colouration around the voice, the Apple supplied music, the shot of the guy poking his ear, the way they have a graphic saying Ebook rather than eBook.
If this isn’t a spoof movie, then if the lack of attention to detail in this movie is typical of what to expect from the company as a whole, the product simply won’t work.
No way this is real….funny though, but not real.
“Released'” as in you can buy one now?
Really, their vaporware performs much better.
I love using your finger to scroll the scroll bar! So 2001!
That looks like a piece of shit. Did you see the keyboard on it. And also did you see how it scrolled the Internet. It’s just a netbook with a touch screen and a keyboard and mouse ripped off. It is horrible
Big deal, a substandard tablet running bloated, outdated software. What could be worse than Windows 7 on a PC? Well, now you know… Windows 7 on a tablet.
This has to be fake. No company would seriously sell this right. It looks like an ad fir windows 3.11 with windows 7 theme. “watch video..” you can skype! (with an old man picking ear wax from his ear!)
the iPad is just a large iphone, then why is Tom, Dick and Harry literally copying the form of the iphone and making it larger..
what a joke…you can not even call this a large iPhone, because that would be insulting an iPhone..
Windows 7 on a large lookalike iPhone…
Are they trying to consumer entrapment.. where the manufacturers trick you into buying their iPhone wannabe device.
“SORRY PEOPLE! NO RETURN BITCHES!” GUESS WHAT! IT’S NOT AN IPAD! muhahahahahahaha”
If you tagline reads that you are “an iPad Killer” you have already lost the race.
