The Andy Pad big reveal countdown has gone out of the window, with the maker issuing a whole heap of new information about the forthcoming Android tablet over on its web site way ahead of schedule.
The most critical fact we now have is the price, with the Andy Pad set to launch at an RRP of £129. Internally, the tablet will run the popular A8 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, with Android 2.3 confirmed as the OS. All good thus far.
No word on the critical screen technology hot potato, though. But if Kogan can squeeze a capacitive display into its super-cheap tablet, hopefully Andy Pad can too.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ June 19, 2011Yes. my point was, HDMI is a premium feature. so surely it will not have a budget screen ?
