Well now it appears that there is a new Android tablet maker steeping into the tablet space with three new Android Ice Cream Sandwich slates for the Russian market from none other than car manufacturer Hyundai, and all three ICS slates are expect to hit the Russian market sometime in September.
According to the guys over at Phone Arena, by way of Unwired View, and Hi-tech.mail, Hyundai is steeping into the Android tablet space with the Hyundai HT-7B, a 7-inch slate, the HT-9B a 9.7-inch tablet and the HT-10B a 10.1 incher, and although they don’t appear to be cutting edge specs wise, they are fairly affordable Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablets.
So kicking off with the Hyundai HT-7B, (image above)the 7-inch tablet sports 1024 x 600 display along with a 2 megapixel rear facing camera, a 0.3 megapixel front facing camera, 1GB RAM, a 1GHs Samsung processor, 8GB internal storage, WiFi, GPS, and a 4000mAh battery and command a price tag of 180-bucks, whilst a 3G radio and Navtel navigation equipped version will cost roughly 207-bucks.
The Hyundai HT-9B offers a 9.7-inch IPS 1024 x 768 display along with the same 2 megapixel rear facing and 0.3 megapixel front facing cameras, 1GB RAM, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, HDMI, USB 2.0, a 1.2GHz Cortex-A8 processor along with Mali-400 graphics, a 5600mAh battery and commands a price tag of roughly 270-bucks.
Lastly there is the Hyundai HT-10B that sports a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 display along with exactly the same specs as with the Hyundai HT9B but also features built-in 3G, and for that commands a price tag of roughly 311-bucks.
Apparently the car maker expects to sell in the region of 200,000 of their Android tablets in Russia this year, but there’s no word on whether Hyundai will be expanding their Android tablet offering to other parts of the globe.
