SimPad Dual Core 8inch Android Tablet


Iā€™m not going to tar this 8 inch Android tablet with the iPad clone brush. It does have an iPad ā€˜feelā€™ granted, but the SimPadā€™s great looking UI coupled with the excellent looking specification is worth more than the ā€˜cloneā€™ tag.

Externally the SimPad has all the bells and whistles expected from an Android tablet these days. Thereā€™s an 8 inch LCD capacitive touch screen which supports multi-touch, a micro SD card reader, 30 pin dock connection, 1x mini USB 2.0, a 3.5mm head phone jack and 2 stereo speakers!

All of those luscious features are set in to a alloy body with a large black bezel and 8 inch 800×600 resolution screen. Speaking of the bezel, thereā€™s a home button set in to it and also a small 1.3 mega-pixel web camera.

As you can see from the screen shots the OS is Android, which has been nicely customized for use on an 8 inch screen.

Now, on to the internals and the SimPads key feature. Sat alongside a choice of either 128/256/1gb RAM and a choice of either 2Gb, 4Gb or 32 Gb is a Rockchips RK2808 dual core CPU with 3D graphics acceleration!
The RK2808 CPU is making quite a name for itself in tablet circles, and although weā€™ve not been told the speed the chip is running at in the SimPad weā€™re pretty sure it will have enough grunt to play 1080i HD video all day long.

Other great features include built in GPS, FM radio receiver and a large capacity 4500 mAh battery which should keep you going for up to 5 hours (depending on what you use the SimPad for)
