AOC Breeze Tablet Boasts 8-inch Display and Android 2.1 Platform

The more we’re getting closer to CES 2011, the more we’re going to hear about new products that join the world’s biggest tech celebration. AOC’s 8-inch Breeze is just the latest in that series. The new tablet, which was recently unveiled by one of the largest LED / LCD monitor manufacturers, runs an obsolete Android 2.1 platform within, along with an 800 x 600 screen resolution, and a slew of physical keys, up right, on top of the screen bezel. In addition, there’s a Rockchip chipset inside, paired with 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a battery pack that is claimed to deliver up to 12 hours of audio or 6 hours of video, WiFi connectivity, an internal speaker, and a single USB 2.0 port. More information should be forthcoming in the next few days, while shipping is due later this month and price is only few cents sub $200. Full PR after the break.

Fidelity Electronics Returns To Basics With VPC, a Low-End 7-inch Netbook

2 Comments

We’re not so sure why Fidelity Electronic has decided to launch the Very Personal Computer netbook, considering there are much better solutions out there in the pond, but it looks like the company is targeting the low-end market, offering a $199 deal instead of $400 in other places. But the tempting price might end up as a big fiasco, specially when we’re getting down to the details, realizing you can only receive a 7-inch 800 x 480 WVGA display, an SD card reader, 2GB(!) of internal storage, a 3-cell battery, WiFi b/g connection and a bulky design. Luckily, It’ll come preloaded with a 100MHz internet browser,  a media player, e-book reader, a dictionary, a calendar and some other spreadsheet apps, to let you feel better for throwing almost two hundred bucks for this piece of metal. Please let us know if you’re one of the few crazy collectors who plan to buy their very own VPC, when it goes on sale, somewhere in March.
