Five New Tablets from Rover Computers
Jul 7th
Rover Computers, an electronics company in Russia, is preparing 5 new tablets. One of them run Windows CE, and the other four run Google’s Android OS. The following are descriptions of each tablet, from smallest to largest in screen size.
The smallest tablet, with a 5″ resistive touch display, is the RoverPad Go G50. It is based on Android 1.5, due to it’s minimal hardware specifications. The G50 uses a Marvell PXA303 chip, has 128MB of RAM, and 2GB of internal storage. For many people, 2GB is not enough to hold a significant amount of their media. That is where the MicroSD port comes in handy for expandable storage. On top of the MicroSD, there is one USB port, WiFi, 3G, and a GPS module. The display has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, making video playback very enjoyable.
