Hikari to unleash iFrame Android tablet on Japan (video)

Hikari’s iFrame (as opposed to the other, Ubuntu-sportin’ iFrame from a while back) is an Android-powered tablet with a skin that’s heavy on the widgets and — in case you’re still intimidated by its difficulty — is also being touted as a photoframe for people who don’t mind ugly photoframes. Ideally suited for the kitchen or living room (and, as such, is being marketed towards women — which we find pretty condescending, truth be told) this bad boy features a 7-inch touchscreen display, SD memory card slot, and WiFi. Due out in Japan sometime next year (no word yet on a stateside release date) look to pay anywhere between $220 and $330 (with the company giving credit to the OS for the low price point).

But with personal video becoming more and more ubiquitous and invading class after class of gadgets, these former trivialities are becoming more important by the day.

And for once, we are actually gravitating towards a couple unified standards in both encoding and resolution — and then Apple butts in with this ugly stepchild of a format.
