Since the launch of the Amazon Kindle Fire, it would seem as though everyone is trying to get a low cost, good quality and economically friendly tablet to the masses. Sprint and ZTE feel the same and aim to launch their new dollar friendly device starting Feb 5th. We know what you’re thinking though, a $99 dollar tablet? Must have sub par specs and a resistive screen or something running Android 1.5, right?. Nope, Sprint and ZTE are going for the wow factor right out of the gate. In addition to its appealing price tag the device has some pretty hefty specs for its size and class. You’ll find a 7-inch capacitive display, Android Honeycomb 3.2 out of the box, a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU from Qualcomm nonetheless, 1GB of RAM and 16 whopping Gig’s of on-board storage.
The only “down side” if you want to call it a down side, would be the fact that it will not be shipping with any connectivity to 4G technologies. Yep, no WiMax or LTE, 3G only, but that’s what WiFi is for, right? Heck, I’m just shocked there’s some type of wireless connectivity at all for that price point. Beggars can’t be choosers. You can snag a data plan on Sprint’s network starting at 1GB for $19.99/mo. If you want to avoid a contract altogether, you can do so by purchasing the device right out for $349.99. Not too shabby Sprint. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below.
