Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you; you’re looking at a $79 Tablet Ice Cream Sandwich called the Ainovo Novo7 Paladin. Even though it’s the real deal, there is a catch. If you want to purchase this budget item you will have to do so in China. We ran into this at CES 2012. The Ainovo Novo7 Paladin, designed by MIPS Technologies, is now available in China, which means by the time it reaches your American hands it will cost you more than $79. The good news is that the company promises that a similar product will be coming to the States very soon, and it will be just as affordable. However, at the moment you can also purchase this on Amazon for $129.
While the budget-friendly tablet is no Galaxy Tab, it boasts a solid build. Its seven-inch screen is 800 x 480, ideal for casual gaming and watching YouTube videos. Furthermore, according to Engadget, MIPS said the U.S. version of the tablet might come with a higher resolution. The top of the tablet features three buttons: power, back, and menu. The right side of the table features a jack for the headphones, a mini USB port, volume buttons, and a microSD slot for enhancing the storage. The tablet currently boasts a whopping 8GB.
The interior of the tablet features a MIPS-based 1GHz single core processor and 512MB of RAM. It does not come with any fancy cameras or GPS. Consumers who want something that can handle videos and photographs can purchase the Novo7 basic for $99.
