Wits A81 Specifications and information

Wits A81 alternatives

Looking like a Smart Device Q7 but having the extra power of the Cortex A8 this could make a very cost-effective browsing device if Android became available. No bluetooth and a WVGA screen may not be perfect but with prices quoted in the $220 range (pre tax and shipping) it looks like a nice home tablet option.

Early specifications on this ARM A8-powered tablet unconfirmed. An Android-based distribution is planned. The screen is said to be capacitive.
