As Google released Android 4.0 to open source, various tablet manufacturers are making unofficial ports on their devices. New ICS devices also continue to be announced by different companies. Coby Electronics, a company known for budget-friendly electronics, has announced that they will be showing off five new Android 4.x tablets at CES 2012.
Coby will be releasing 7-inch (MID7042), 8-inch (MID8042), 9-inch (MID9042), 9.7-inch (MID9742), and 10-inch (MID1042) tablets early next year. All of the tablets will be powered by a 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor with 1 GB of RAM. They will also have microSD slots for storage expansion up to 32 GB, as well as, 1080p HDMI output, capacitive touchscreens, and Wi-Fi capability.
The tablets will not be offering features that will make users in awe aside from the low price that may likely be attractive to budget-conscious tablet buyers. Even though major retailers Amazon and Barnes and Noble are offering some pretty popular sub-$300 tablets right now, the onslaught of cheaper Ice Cream Sandwich tablets from companies like Coby will offer the the Android tablet market a sense of competition. On the part of the consumers, it will give us a wider variety of choices.
No official prices of the tablets have been announced as of yet.
