Isaiah's Tech

CherryPal looks like they're readying their next 7-inch CherryPad Android tablet and it'll be much better than last year's $188 tablet that they made. This one will be packing a 1,024 x 600 resolution capacitive touchscreen display, a 3MP rear-facing AF camera with an LED flash, a front-facing VGA camera, a 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 8GB / 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 2.1 / GPS support, an HDMI port, WiFi, a GSM antenna, a light sensor, and an accelerometer. This one will be shipping with Android 2.2 at the very least. Apparently, the announcement should be coming up soon.

It's pretty good for the price which will be somewhere between $300 and $400, but we're hearing that the iPad's entry-level price could drop slightly so maybe it won't be worth it in the end. It seems a bit expensive for a $400 tablet but it's decent for a $300 one. Then again, I do suggest just saving up money for an iPad since it's just a bit more expensive and it's guaranteed to work. Oh well, nice try CherryPal.
