Sharp has announced plans to launch a Windows 8.1 tablet in Japan, the Mebius Pad, in early 2014, with a 10.1 inch 2560x1600 display, but there's no word if it will be released overseas



From Neowin:

There are a boatload of new Windows 8.1 tablets due to be released later this fall, including models from Acer, Asus, and Sony, not to mention Microsoft's own new Surface tablets. Today, word has gotten out of yet another Windows 8.1 tablet that's in the works, but this one comes from an unexpected source: Sharp.

Yes, the company that's best known for making big screen televisions plans to launch its first Windows 8.1 tablet, the Mebius Pad, in its native Japan. Engadget spotted the product on display at Japan's CEATEC show. At first glance, the display on the 10.1 tablet is impressive; it's supposed to go up to 2560x1600 resolution with its IGZO panel. It's also supposed to be highly resistant to water and dust.
