The source for 2012 iPad, Android and tablet PC news, reviews and accessories guides
A cheap tablet is what the market needs for this niche to cake off in sales. Currently it’s hard to find cheap tablets from brands, so most of them are made in China by obscure OEM companies. But you can still find cheap tablets from brands like Velocity Cruz, Archos, Prestigio and even Creative.
A lot of interest was shown towards cheap Android tablets since 2010, when the iPad dominated the tablet niche. People who couldn't afford the $500 Apple tablet have been looking for 100-200 dollars alternatives, and I have to say that today the offer is pretty rich, with some models being quite good when compared to the premium Android tablets (the ones selling for over 350-400 bucks).We even have here at AllTouchTablet a dedicated cheap tablets article updated regularly with models you can...
Among all the tablets showcased by Acer at CES 2012 there was also the Iconia A200, one cheap tablet we've been mentioned quite a few times here at AllTouchTablet.If you thought there was no reason to get one maybe the hands on at the end of this post will convince you it's a good investment, especially considering you're getting a top Android tablet (considering last year's Tegra 2 baseline) for as low as $330 (8GB version, add $20 for the 16GB model).Overall impression (and it's not ju...
I know some of you have asked me about Toshiba AT200, the slimmest tablet announced in 2011, which unfortunately didn't make any kind of official retail appearance. Since Toshiba has started claiming it will launch the world's thinnest and lightest 10.1 inch tablet at CES, along with the slimmest and lightest 13.3 inch ultrabook I'm pretty sure the forgotten AT200 will make a new appearance.Maybe Toshiba will update the looks (not quite my style) and bring the specs into 2012. I know I'm ask...
In a market of consumers constantly looking for cheaper and more affordable tablets it's clear Acer wants a piece of the pie, since the manufacturer is known for providing cheap alternatives to its competitors on every segment it covers.While it can't beat the $199 asked for the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet quite yet, Acer's answer is the Iconia TAB A200, a classic 10 inch tablet powered by the already famous Nvidia Tegra 2 platform, but with a slightly better build product than last year's Ace...
Velocity Micro is known as a cheap tablet manufacturer (and other cheap gadgets), so it's no wonder their recently announced Cruz T507 and T510 tablets are priced starting at $150.But make no mistake, these are pretty potent tablets for the price you're paying. The Cruz T507 (7 inch tablet) comes with a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex CPU, a 400 MHz Mali GPU, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB storage and a capacitive touch screen with 800 x 480 px resolution.The T510 (10 inch tablet) features a slim 8.9 mm body, a 4:...
I've always said the biggest problem with tablets was the price and I was right, as the Amazon Kindle tablet, the first brand model to get under $200, sells like hot cakes. Nook Tablet is also a tablet worth considering, but both of them feature customized user experiences that rely heavily on the two companies content and don't have access to the Android Marketplace.If you want a cheap 7 inch tablet you now have the Archos 70b (it'll be here in a few weeks actually), the first Honeycomb tab...
Here at AllTouchTablet.com we're all about cheap tablets (read our favourite list), but we're also aware that more often you get what you pay for, so we're kind of doubting the Ainovo Novo 7, the first cheap Android tablet running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.Why? Because the Chinese manufacturer claims a $99 price (30% off the regular price), but you'll have to add another $60 for shipping and handling (it's being set all the way from China), but there's no mention when you'll actually be...
If you're not one of the consumers who wishes an iPad as a Christmas gift (most of you are) and you still want a tablet there are quite a few options out there, especially for those on a tight(er) budget. That's why I though of putting together this quick comparison article with today's cheap 7 inch tablets that might interest you: the Kindle Fire from Amazon, Nook Tablet from Barns and Noble and Vox from Kobo.First let's start with a comparison of the specs, the thing that seems to matter l...
Archos is well known for its lineup of cheap multimedia tablets, which support pretty much any video and audio codec you can imagine (read some of our Archos posts) and it hast just announced the Arnova 9 G2 tablet, a 10 inch tablet that features pretty much the same hardware as the 1st gen iPad, but comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with no word on future software updates like Android ICS 4.0.So, looking at specs there's nothing here to appeal a true tablet freak, but I suspect the price ...
Viewsonic is a name we hear pretty often here at AllTouchTablet.com, but it's not for the high end tablets they produce (none that I'am aware of), but for their more affordable models: Viewpad 7x, Viewpad 10 Pro, Viewpad 7e and, as of today, the Viewpad 10e.Viewsonic Viewpad 10e is meant as a cheap 10 inch slate, but it packs a decent amount of power: 1 GHz Cortex A8 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 4GB internal storage (more can be added with microSD cards), a generous 5400 mAh battery (200 hours standby a...
