AndyPad has just confirmed that TWO models of its Android 2.3 tablet will be launching this September. The “entry level” £129 AndyPad features a 7″ resistive touchscreen, while the AndyPad Pro will arrive with the more advanced capacitive touch technology.
Here’s AndyPad on the reasoning behind the new “Pro” model. It’s down to you lot making so much noise, basically…
“…throughout the course of marketing the Andy Pad, a second demographic has paid us extended notice – the tech fans and the bloggers who are forever hooked on the latest devices to hit the market, who have shown us continuous support.
“We have decided to release a second Andy Pad, currently codenamed the ‘Andy Pad Pro’ especially for them – which will feature all the features of the Andy Pad, a capacitive screen, a front and rear facing camera and many other additional features to be revealed at a later date.
“The Pro is intended to be released at the same date as the Andy Pad, for a similar price.”
Both AndyPads also come with 512MB of app memory, which is rather good news as there was a minor bout of internet outrage last week when it was mooted they’d arrive with only 256MB.
Plus AndyPad is working to ensure a proper “worldwide” release for both versions of the tablet, hopefully at the same time as the UK launch. Go Andy.
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 27, 2011You’ve got to love company’s who actually listen to what the consumers want. We said we wanted more RAM, they gave it more RAM. We said we wanted a Capacitive Touch Screen, they made an entirely new model and gave it a Capacitive Touch Screen.
I respect company’s like this, they do it for the consumer and not to just make money. Which is also proved in the tablets very discrete asking price.
Good on you Andypad. Keep it up!
keep up the good work
