Velocity Micro unveils Android 4.0 tablet lineup

Brad Linder — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:25:59 +0000

Velocity Micro has a solid reputation for making decent, affordable, but not particularly spectacular Android tablets. Now the company is unveiling two new tablets which will feature faster processors and newer software than previous models. The biggest problem with the company's tablets so far has been that they have shipped with Google Android 2.3 or earlier rather than later versions...

Velocity Micro Cruz T410 review

Brad Linder — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:00:09 +0000

The Velocity Micro T408 tablet which I reviewed recently is a solid entry into the budget 7 inch Android tablet space. The company might not have the name recognition of Amazon or Barnes & Noble, or the custom software that you get with a tablet from those companies -- but that's exactly why the T408 might appeal to some users....

Velocity Micro Cruz T408 Tablet review

Brad Linder — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:00:17 +0000

Velocity Micro has been making Android tablets since 2010 -- which in this fast-moving space makes the company one of the older players in the consumer tablet space. While Velocity Micro may not be a household name, the company has shipped over 500,000 tablets under its Cruz brand so far thanks to distributors including Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Amazon....

First look: Velocity Micro Cruz T408 and T410 tablets

Brad Linder — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:00:53 +0000

Velocity Micro has been producing low cost Android tablets for the last year or so, but the company's latest tablets are some of the best yet. They feature capacitive multitouch displays and Samsung 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processors. Most important, they're actually reasonably fun to interact with. The company loaned me a Velocity Micro Cruz T408 tablet and a Cruz...

Here’s Velocity Micro’s new tablet lineup

Brad Linder — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 23:20:16 +0000

Velocity Micro recently started selling off its older tablets at rock bottom prices to make way for new models. Now the new models have arrived... or almost arrived, anyway. The company formally introduced two new tablets today, but it looks like there are actually four new models. Amazon is taking pre-orders for each. Here's a quick rundown of each new...

Velocity Micro clearing out (old) Android tablet inventory

Brad Linder — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:00:41 +0000

Update: I just received a note from Velocity Micro confirming that the company is trying to sell through "last year's product," but it doesn't mean Velocity Micro is exiting the tablet space. Instead, the company plans to announce new products in the next few weeks. Velocity Micro may be exiting the Android tablet market... or at least clearing out stock to...

Velocity Micro Cruz 7″ Android tablet for $80 from Woot today

Brad Linder — Mon, 16 May 2011 13:15:17 +0000

The Velocity Micro R101 Cruz Reader isn't a speed demon. It doesn't have a super high resolution display. It doesn't run the latest version of Android. Let's face it, as Android tablets go, it' snot all that impressive. But here's the thing: It's cheap. The Cruz R101 has a list price of $150, but you can usually find it for...
