September 5th, 2010Rydeen has recently announced a 7″ Android OS based Slate Tablet called the gPad GCOM 701. The GCOM 701 will be powered by an 800 MHz Marvell Armada 166 application processor, and 256 MB of RAM.
This gPad tablet device will also feature a 7″ 800 x 480 resistive touch screen, a slot micro SD storage card, Wifi b/g, built-in GPS, bluetooth, microphone and speaker, 3.5 mm audio jack, USB and mini USB, a front facing video camera, and a 2400 mAH battery for a claimed 6 hours – typical low end specs.
The GPS is what is probably their USP – it comes with a high-sensitivity NXP GNS7560 GPS receiver, that helps the GCOM701 Tablet device function as a Portable Navigation Device (PND), complete with 4 million Points of Interest (POIs), powered by Navteq.
You will also fing a generous list of included software – the full suite of Google Apps, AVI support, and Adobe Lite 4. The deice should be out by November at an unspecified price point.
