The idea of mobile as kitchen companions is hardly new, yet Archos present such an offering for wannabe cooks-- the ChefPad, an Android 4.1 tablet inside a cheerfully red silicon case complete with stand.
Archos says the 9.7-inch device is resistant to occasional splashes of the sauce variety and comes pre-loaded with a "Chefs App Selection" providing what is supposed to be the cream of all the cooking apps on the Google Play store.
Inside are a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, front- and rear-facing 2MP cameras, x2 speakers and a built-in mic. However Archos forgets to include that most basic (yet most useful) of accessories a cooking tablet requires-- a stylus. It is also not waterproof, meaning big spills on the device are something of a no-no.
Either way, if your customers want such a cooking-oriented device the Archos ChefPad should be available from June 2013.
