Shenzhen Malata 10" Tegra 2 Zpad

[xaueious]

​

Catalog pictures of the upcoming Malata Zpad were leaked briefly before they were taken down. Malata is considered one of the largest shanzhai firms in Shenzhen. These may or may not be final, but the device does seem to be well on its way to being launched very soon. Malata has been recruiting Android developers for their Zpad since the 12th this month.

Preliminary specifications include Nvidia's Tegra 2 dual-core Cortex A9 CPU at 1GHz, 10" TFT-LCD display at 1024x600, Android 2.2, and 1080p support. It is also supposed to have a capacitive multitouch display as well as wireless n support and bluetooth connectivity. It will also come with a low resolution front facing camera. It is also listed to have 1GB of RAM. Battery life is listed to for 6-8 hours of continuous video playback.

It is expected to launch well below 3000RMB (450US). In line with other offerings, the device should be shipping sometime next month.

With Cortex A9 devices now entering the market, and more Cortex A8 devices in the pipeline, it may not make sense to spend money on any ARM11 based devices right now, which are incapable of Adobe Flash even with an upgrade to Android 2.2.

This thing looks quite amazing.

In consideration of the technical specs it IS an iPad-Killer for me!
The processors that were used for this device are highly praised all over the www^^
1GB of RAM in combination with at least 6 operating hours and a multitouch screen sounds too good to be true and makes this tablet more than interesting for about 350€.

Let's wait for the first reviews!!!

That would be fantastic!
Let's see and keep up to date with the information around this tablet - and maybe the price will then become lower after a while...

Shipping to North America, those are the prices you will see. They will be a good $30-50US cheaper in China

But then you have to add taxes and sometimes higher shippig cost :-(

Looks interesting. I'm looking for an android tablet for mobile web app research. I need wifi only (no 3G) and bluetooth. This looks like it might fit the bill. Looking forward to more info.
