Wireless carrier 02 will launch the Joggler media tablet in the United Kingdom in April.
Similar in function to Verizon’s Hub, the Joggler is designed to keep busy families organized, replacing handwritten notes with an electronic schedule that can send text messages to cellphones for the odd reminder. Users can send up to 50 free text messages to other 02 phones per month.
Featuring a 7-inch touchscreen, the Joggler connects to your home broadband network via a wireless connection or ethernet cable. Through the internet connection to the O2 network, Joggler can grab weather forecasts from Sky News Network, TrafficMaster traffic updates including average traffic speeds, news and sports from the Sky Network, and can store quite the database of music, video, photos and games.
The O2 Joggler media tablet will cost 150 pounds when it ships in the UK next month. Subscribers eligible for a handset upgrade can grab the Joggler for free in some cases.
