Datawind Not Blowing Smoke: $38 Tablet Coming To the US

Posted by Soulskill on from the should-rename-it-to-weatherpad-and-market-to-old-dudes dept.

BigVig209 writes "In a follow-up to a story we discussed in May, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that London-based Datawind it will begin selling its $38 UbiSlate tablet computer in the U.S. early next year. 'The $38 7-inch touchscreen UbiSlate 7Ci tablet runs on Google's Android 4.0 and features a 1-gigahertz, single-core processor. It has 4 gigabytes of storage with microSD card slots for additional storage. The 7-inch display offers a resolution of 800x480 pixels.' The specs aren't the greatest, fastest, or most powerful, but, for under $50, they're still pretty decent."

    After MS clears you out for an XB One, you can buy a cheap tablet for their Smartglass "second screen" app.

    Yes, for 38 dollars, you can expect a soul sensor. It senses your soul (locks on it, so no one else will cause any effects while you are using it), so water doesn't screw it up and it's also pin point accurate. Also it has a 100000 levels of force sensing, so you can draw as if you had a wacom. It will also calculate your taxes, fish for you, cook your dinner, do your work and lie for you.

    AND it's Lenova!

    No good. I'm holding out for a genuine Sorny, Panaphonic or Magnetbox.
