Sharp shows 2560 x 1600 10.1-inch water resistant Windows 8 tablet

Sharp makes quite a splash with its new Windows 8 tablet. Called Mebius Pad, this 10.1" device features an IGZO panel with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, an Intel quad-core Atom Z3370 processor, and resistance to both water and dust. Pricing and availability is unknown.

Also, following Japanese trends for practically any device, the slab is both water and dust-proof (it's in the midst of being certified for IPX5, IPX7, IP5X), while you'll be able to buy it with LTE radios on board, at least for Nippon, as the device is unlikely to leave Japanese shores once it launches in early 2014. Unsurprisingly, in the flesh the screen looked good -- Sharp even provided a magnifying glass so we could get up close to those pixels. The 10.1-inch display is also satisfyingly bright -- if we're honest, it's unusual to see such a capable screen powered by an Atom processor.
