Looks like a new contender has stepped on the scene hoping to lure some business from the 7-inch display market. In enters the X10 AirPad with claims of being the best 7-incher you’ll see for anything under the $200 mark. So, what’s under the hood? The device touts an 800 x 480 res display (nothing to tout about), a 1.2 GHz Rockchip 2918 CPU which can be found on some Android based netbooks in China. In addition, and thank God, the device will sport Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) along with 512 mb of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Sadly, there will only be a 2 mp camera on board. Yeah, we’re not sure what happened there either. Battery life is decent, housing a 4000 mAH battery and the device comes with WiFi support for 802.11 b & g support. You’ll also find HDMI out support for 1080p playback and get this, there will be full USB port support too (mini). Piqued your interest yet? Toss in a 3.5 mm headphone jack along with a microSD card slot and we’re calling it a day. We’ll let you be the judge of whether or not the device lives up to the claim of being “the best tablet on the market for under $200″. Hit the break for the full line of specs and don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.
