Earlier in the middle of this year we saw the market flooded with concepts and prototypes of tablets running Windows 7 powered by Atom, and Android powered by ARM. Though the Android part did flooded the market with real final products, their performance were rather bland and not even near to the shores of Apple’s iPad. But the other tablet, running Windows’s slate operating system didn’t actually quite make it to the market in a big way. But we will actually see more of them in 2011, at least claimed MSI. Oh, and let’s not forget Tegra 2 tablets invasion too.

Well, MSI is planning to resurrect those with some slight improvements for the upcoming CES, and this time it’s gearing up to actually release them both. First up is the 10.1-inch Windows 7 Home Premium version, which will be one of the first Intel Atom Oak Trail-powered devices out there, says the company. According to MSI’s Director of North American Sales Andy Tung, Intel’s tablet solution does show both battery life and performance improvements over the current Atom chips, but it’s “not extremely significant.”

Beyond that, the tablet measures less than an inch thick and will have a 1024 x 600-resolution, multitouch display, mini-HDMI and mini-USB ports, an SD card slot, and an accelerometer. Tung wasn’t ready to reveal pricing, but he said it should be available in early 2011.

On the Android side of things, MSI’s got a dual-core Tegra 2-powered 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800-resolution slate prepped with the same selection of ports and features — although, this one is slightly thinner and also has a drop-proof design. Thus far the Android tablet will be running on Gingerbread, but if Google is in time, they won’t hesitate to jump into Honeycomb. If Honeycomb is available by the February / March timeframe MSI will go with that option — however, if it’s not, it will go with Gingerbread, so it can hit the market earlier in 2011.
