First Firefox OS tablet details out: 1GHz quad-core CPU, 10.1-inch HD display

Specifications of the first Mozilla’s Firefox OS tablet have been put out online by Mozilla’s Asa Dotzler. Dotzler was one of the original people who worked on the Mozilla non-profit foundation.
Dotzler puts out detailed specs of the tablet, along with the picture on his blog. You can check them out here. While the specs are out, there’s no word on when the tablet will be released or what the price will be like.

The tablets are being produced by Foxconn, which announced plans to manufacture Firefox OS devices last year. The tablet is called InFocus New tab F1, although the name might change by the time this thing hits retail. It has a 10.1-inch IPS capacitive multi-touch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800.

It seems to be WiFi-only tablet, with no word on a cellular version, and will come with AllWinner A31 quad-core 1GHz Cortex-A7 processor, as well as a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU. Other specs include 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. The tablet features a 2-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel rear camera, as well as a micro USB slot and headphones port. The battery is 7000mAh capacity. And of course it will run the Firefox OS, though whether this is an updated tablet-ready build is not certain.

Its a bot. This is what they do these days. They rip articles or real posts off of other forums, and post them to a target forum. Check out that last link I posted above. That same topic has been posted to dozens of other forums, word-for-word.

Whenever I find something questionable these days, I copy a sentence or two and Google it. 9 times out of 10 it is ripped from some other forum or an article, and the bot just copy'n'pasted it.

Oh yeah, I gotcha. I assume so, too. If bots could get through on their own, we would have tons more. It is probably being done in a factory-style system, where one human operator spends all their time opening account after account on every forum the bot finds, and then lets the software loose.

Speaking of which, I need to nuke that account. I forgot to do it earlier.

It was just a variation of an email address I nuked the other day.
