Murena is taking a swing at the tablet market with a device that promises something increasingly rare: complete freedom from Big Tech’s ecosystem grip. The company’s \/e\/OS tablet, reviewed by Wired, offers users an alternative to both iPadOS and Android that prioritizes privacy above convenience. But in a market dominated by Apple and Google, that freedom comes with trade-offs and a price tag that might give budget-conscious buyers pause.<\/p>\n

The tablet market just got its first serious privacy-first challenger in years. Murena, the company behind the \/e\/OS mobile operating system, has released a tablet that completely ditches both Apple’s and Google’s ecosystems in favor of a privacy-centric experience.<\/p>\n

According to Wired’s hands-on review, the device delivers on its core promise: a tablet experience free from the data collection practices that have become standard in consumer electronics. The \/e\/OS operating system, built on Android’s open-source foundation but stripped of Google services, represents a fundamental rethinking of what a tablet can be when privacy comes first.<\/p>\n

But that purity comes with compromises. Without access to the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store, users must rely on alternative app sources and open-source software. For the privacy-conscious user willing to adapt their workflow, that’s a feature. For mainstream buyers accustomed to seamless app availability, it’s a dealbreaker.<\/p>\n

The pricing strategy reveals who Murena is targeting. Rather than undercutting the competition, the company has positioned its tablet as a premium product, betting that privacy advocates will pay extra for digital freedom. It’s the opposite approach to what Chinese manufacturers took when challenging the tablet duopoly with budget devices.<\/p>\n

This launch arrives at an interesting moment for the tablet market. Apple continues to dominate the premium segment with its iPad line, while Google’s Android tablets have struggled to gain meaningful market share outside budget…<\/p>\n
