... before somebody can say the name.
Sorry, but calling it gPad would be an obvious attempt to hijack (or ride on) the success of a well known brand.
Rydeen Mobile has a new contribution to the tablet computer market: the Android-based “gPad.” Yes, that’s the real name.
Also known by the code name “GCOM701,” the gPad is powered by a Marvel Armada 166 800MHz processor. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of which version of Android this tablet will be running on, leaving some room for worry.
Nevertheless, let’s take a closer look at what we do know about this Rydeen MID:
- 7-inch TFT touchscreen (800 × 480 resolution)
- 2GB of DDR2 memory
- 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi
- GPS
- Bluetooth
- Built-in front-facing camera
- microSD slot (SDHC cards up to 32GB)
- Connectivity: USB, mini-USB, 3.5mm headphone jack
- Battery life: Up to eight hours with normal use; Up to six hours at “full power” mode
There’s also support for a number of different multimedia formats for video and audio playback, along with compatibility with Adobe Flash Lite 4.
No word on pricing yet, but it is earmarked for a November shipment with a choice between a white or black exterior.
