MIPS has created their own Android tablet, and it will sell for $100.
While there are many cheap Android tablets available on the market, what separates this from the rest is that it will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and have a capacitive multi-touch screen.
The Novo 7 tablet will run a 1GHz Ingenic Xburst processor made by MIPS, dual-cameras (2MP rear/VGA front facing), an SD card slot and HDMI out.
Additionally, the tablet can handle "3D graphics with the Vivante GC860 GPU and 1080p video decoding."
Says Ingenic:
We are pleased to join with MIPS to announce these breakthrough high-performance, low-power, low-cost Android 4.0 tablets. Combining the elegance of the MIPS architecture and Ingenic?s innovation in processor design, we are bringing a new level of processor technology to mobile devices. As we continue to collaborate with MIPS to broaden the mobile ecosystem around the legendary MIPS architecture, we anticipate even broader proliferation of our devices worldwide. We believe the mobile world will be more versatile and colorful with another processor joining in.
