Hanvon, one of China’s leading e-reader manufacturers, is displaying a range of new tablets and e-book readers that are still running on Windows 7 at CeBIT 2011 in Germany.

The IT industry trade show that is currently running in Germany is set to come to Australia on May 31 with companies like Hanvon displaying their products with Australian specs, prices and release dates.

Hanvon’s upcoming range of tablets and e-readers includes high-resolution e-book readers, tablets for design and education professionals, tablets that blend business and pleasure, tabs for the average consumer as well as biometric technology for high-tech enterprise.

The two e-book readers announced were the Hanvon 200dpi high-resolution WISEreader and the colour WISEreader. Each sports a 9.7 inch E INK screen and feature Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.

The readers are controlled with an electromagnetic pen which may seem a little outdated for typical e-readers, though when sitting in an office setting is used mainly for commenting on, modifying and cutting from documents and books – more functionality than the typically mono-functioning e-reader.

On the professional side of tablets, Hanvon is showcasing the Art Master III and the SenTIP.

The Art Master III is a professional graphics tablet for the design professional or anyone who works with art and graphics. It features 2,048-level pressure sensitivity that employs more subtlety in thickness and intensity of lines for greater precision in painting and drawing.

Hanvon sees digital drawing as the inevitable future of animation, going so far as to say manual painting will gradually be replaced by digital technology.

On the education side is the SenTIP pen display which doubles as a graphics tablet and display. The SenTIP pushes tablet screen quality with an LED-backlit LCD screen with the similar graphics tab technology to the Art Master.

The sensitivity is halved from the Art Master since the detail intricacy isn’t as important on this model, running at 1,024-level pressure sensitivity.

Educational software including teaching aids is integrated into the unit that is intended to be used with displays like projectors for interactive demonstrations in the corporate and education world.

Tablets to go up against the rest of the general tablet market featuring the likes of the Motorola Xoom and Apple iPad include Hanvon’s Hpad and TouchPad, though running on Windows 7 with limited intuitive functionality compared to Android and iOS.

The Hpad is a high-end portable running on Android 2.2 that’s built for integration of business and pleasure across the office and leisure worlds.

The Hpad is 10.8mm thick, has built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity, sports built-in dual cameras and comes with customised Office handwriting functions. These customised functions can also identify text, business cards, translations and human faces.

The TouchPad is another tablet from Hanvon that meshes business and consumer interests, with Hanvon marketing the product at businesspeople.

The tablet PC that was made with Microsoft and Intel cooperation is an 18mm thick unit that weighs in just shy of a kilogram. Under the hood is 2GB DDR2 RAM and a 250GB hard drive, with a screen that runs at 1024×600 resolution.

The TouchPad runs on Windows 7 and features USB, Audio in/out and mini HDMI connections.

Hanvon’s also putting its biometric facial recognition systems on show with the F710.
