A little over a month after rolling out a tablet for docomo's dtab series, following five years of nothing on the tablet front, Sharp are now launching a business-oriented device that is fairly similar to the dtab d-41A and has the memorable name of SH-T01. Because who needs an easy-to-remember moniker?

The SH-T01 has Wi-Fi connectivity only, but if you need to be able to use your 10.1-inch slab outside Wi-Fi coverage, you can get the SH-T01L, which also supports mobile data.

This tablet is developed with business and sales in mind. That's why the machine meets the strict requirements set by Google for devices suitable for corporate use under the Android Enterprise Recommended programme.

Sharp offer an optional installation of the LINC Biz Enterprise Mobility Management service, which enables IT administrators to initialise or lock the tablet by remote control. This comes with a one-stop support feature.

The 10.1-inch display has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA); the dtab has a 1920 x 1080 px screen. There is nothing special about the screen – it's one of Sharp's plain TFTs. I didn't know they still made them.

This corporate tablet is powered by a Snapdragon 665 processor, has 4 GB of operating memory, and 64 GB of built-in storage. External memory cards are supported.

The tablet's rear camera is the same as the front-facing one: 8 MP, with an aperture of f/2.0.

The positioning service is compatible with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS (MICHIBIKI).

There is no calling module installed, nor a digital TV one, nor a FeliCa/NFC chip.

The SH-T01 is both waterproof and dust-proof. It measures 170 x 246 x 8.2 mm and weighs 491 grams.

The colour you can choose from is black... No, your tablet doesn't really exude a business smell if it's any other.

The SH-T01 is offered with an optional foldable and rotatable stand whose angle can be adjusted.
