ezGear has just unveiled their latest Android-based tablet / MID, the SurfBoard 700. This tablet sports the new RockChip RK2818 CPU clocked at 1GHz, WiFi b/g, an HDMI output, and a 7-inch WVGA (800 x 480 resolution) display. On board you'll also find a microSD card slot, a USB 2.0 port, stereo speakers, a trackball, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the battery life will supposedly last 20 hours of music playback and 9 hours of video. Of course, the tablet itself is ugly-looking compared to the iPad so I doubt that they'll be able to sell a bunch of these - but I could be wrong. The price and release date are still TBA so look out for that information soon.

We already know that RIM is working on some sort of BlackBerry tablet and now there are new rumours about exactly what the tablet may feature. Apparently, the tablet coming from the RIM camp will feature a 7-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, a camera on the back, and a front-facing camera. I'm also going to assume that it'll be running BB OS 6.0 because I don't really think that RIM has been secretly working on a new OS of any kind. Of course, this tablet is slightly smaller than the rumoured 8.9-inch tablet that we heard about two months ago. There's always room for error.
