Yet another 7 inch Android tablet headed state-side?

  • Tweet
  • Email

Haven’t seen enough cheap 7 inch Android tablets for your liking? It looks like a new 7 inch model with a 600MHz ARM9 processor could be on the way to the US. The FCC has published a filing for a tablet with a not-particularly-catchy name. Meet the Chinaleap M1 tablet.

The tablet has a 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel display, 128MB of RAM, and 8G of flash storage. It has a Rockhip RK2808A CPU with support for 720p HD video playback. It also has a USB port, a mini USB port, and HDMI output as well as a microSD card slot and headphone jack.

There are volume keys on the side of the tablet, and a power button at the top. Toward the bottom (or left side depending on how you hold it), is a menu button that looks an awful lot like the primary button on an iPhone or iPod touch. The whole tablet was clearly designed to look like an iDevice.

It doesn’t look like there are back, search, or home buttons. It’s not clear from the user manual what version of Android the ARMM1 is running. There’s also no word on what type of touchscreen it uses, how much it will cost, or when it will be available in the US.

    This is sad. The first Android tablets that are hitting have hardware I wouldn't be excited about in a cheap Android phone, let alone a tablet device. I really can't wait until something quality hits. Something with OMAP4, or a Tegra 2. Hell the snapdragon family of chips are more powerful than these A9 and A11 processors I keep seeing in these things, and they are arguably not quite as good as the A4 in the iPad because of their Adreno graphics core.

    Until Notion's Adam hit's, or something along those lines, I can't see plunging into this market for anything less than an Archos. I'd say the Streak, but I'm not interested in AT&T and their data plans at ALL, especially with the way their network operates where I live.

    This is so frustrating. They've been promising tablets for so long, and there have been so may good looking models that are coming to market 'soon', that all these cheap… I don't know what to call them. Knockoff isn't the right term… POS resistive, underpowered, buggy pieces of junk, just make me angry. It's like they're trying to kill off the non Apple tablet market before it can really begin, by seeing who can bring the worst piece of kit to market the fastest.

    Well at least this thing has physical volume controls, and a SD slot…

    You got your specifications and your buttons wrong. Otherwise this is good news.

    Actually not that wrong. Would have been hard to spot. Sorry. A few buttons are missing in your review but that's okay.
