Already in the market for a 7 inch tablet like the Galaxy Tab or other like-sized tablets? If you are, then you are also having second thoughts of that ludicrous $500 to $600 price tag. Most probably you’re thinking that you can let the prices drop down a bit before actually buying one. Well fear not tablet buyer, here’s an actual honest to goodness $300 Android tablet that you can buy, Velocity Micro’s 7-inch Cruz Tablet.
Here is a quick rundown of the specs:
- 7-inch 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen
- Ingenic JZ4760 600 MHz MIPS processor
- Android 2.0
- 512MB of RAM
- 12GB of total storage
- 802.11n WiFi
- Built-in speakers
- Headphone jack
- Mini-USB port
- Rechargeable Li-ion good for around ten hours of use
- Cruz Market, no access to Android Market
Here’s a YouTube hands-on review of the device care of MyTabletLife:
Although there is already a MIPS ROM port of Android 2.2, Velocity Micro does not have any plans to upgrade to Android 2.2 because of hardware limitations. Another thing is that there is also no plan to gain access to Android Market and will remain using the Cruz Market, although there are ways around that.
You can order one these budget tablets at the Velocity Micro website for $300.
