It would appear that Verizon is looking to claim its small stake in the affordable tablet market with its new announcement of the “Ellipsis 7“. The Ellipsis 7 tab is the company's new device hoping to compete with popular small tabs such as Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX. Specs include a 7-inch 1280 x 800 IPS display, 1GB of RAM, 8 gig's of on-board storage and a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU from an unknown manufacturer. The device will be sold as the company's very own tablet and first in the line of “Ellipsis” devices. It will also sport LTE connectivity and a front facing camera for video chats. It's been also said the device will be running an OS version close to stock Jelly Bean and confirmed to hit stores on November 7th for $249.99 with no contract.

Only time will tell whether or not the tab can quickly gain ground over Apple and Samsung products, though it's highly unlikely. Big Red will also include its RedBox Instant streaming service with the package to sweeten the pot a little. We're sure, being the “first in the Ellipsis family…' we'll see another device between 8-10-inches assuming the 7-inch device does well. Do you think this device has what it takes to compete in the already crowded tablet market?
