SMB News From Network World: German iPad Competitor Changes Name To WeTab

WeTab has a Linux-based iPad look-alike that includes most of the features critics complain the iPad lacks, including Flash support, camera and USB ports. Did Apple lean on the company to change its name?


“On the day Apple announced the availability of the iPad in some Western European countries, rival German company WeTab changed the name of its tablet computing product and company from WePad to WeTab.

In a statement, the German company said the name change was to ‘clearly differentiate our products within the international market for tablet computers.’ A WeTab representative declined to comment on whether Apple influenced the name change.”
