0 Comments 11 November 2010

Update: It’s been several months that we’ve waited to see the Prenium tablet from Aigo. So here is the Aigopad?N700, which design is totally different from the prototype presented previously. Aigo has provided a look and an identity ?to its tablet PC that can be easily differenciate from the iPad and remains elegant at the same time.

We learn that the pad is running Android 2.1 with an overlay created by Aigo called Freedom River UI. Its 7-inch screen adopts multitouch technology it has 512 MB of RAM, an internal?3G module and weighs only 380g.

We hope that it will keep the specifications of the prototype and the dual-core Tegra 2 plateform at 1GHz. It is quite expensive since it will be available next month at about 330 euros or 445$.

The Aigopad of Aigo which I submitted yesterday has now a name. Indeed, the biggest model of the range is called N700 which referred to the size of its 7-inch screen.

Presumably the other two models 5-inch and 4-inch will be logically called Aigo N500, and N400.

Here are all the specifications of the Aigo N700:
