It still won't sell you one, but Carmangi has just launched the official website for its Android-based WebStation tablet / MID, and cleared up a few remaining details in the process. As we'd heard, this one packs a 7-inch glass touchscreen and some of the usual niceties like WiFi and GPS, but it looks like the rest of the specs are decidedly par for the course, including a 624MHz Marvell PXA303 processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of flash storage, and 3G connectivity in the form of a USB dongle only. You will get a complimentary 8GB microSD card to boost that storage, however, and you'll soon apparently be able to get it in your choice of pink or black in addition to the basic white -- the company even has its own "Camangi Market" for apps, though it's looking a little sparse, and not all that unique at the moment.
Man! That's A Lot Of Boarder!
@DaHarder
Uhhh.. I meant BORDER
@DaHarder So you'd rather a small bezel, and a) if you drop it have less impact resistance, and b) always be touching something on the screen?
If this were a laptop, I could understand (not agree) with the small bezel ideology, but on a tablet of this size, IMO, it makes no sense.
Specs on this suck.
@(Unverified) Ditto... Even adding bluetooth to tether to your cellphone might have saved this... as is DOA...
yawn... who will throw the first stone?
@(Unverified) You were about a minute too late...
@(Unverified) thats what she said...
I would be interested if it was an TI OMAP 3XXX but this is barely a bump from my touch pro 2
Archos 5 > This thing....

Well, since I don't hear any negativity in the article, I guess it's a capacitive screen?
@Cam Nope. According to the "via" link it's resistive.
@Raikus And not a single negative comment? I'm shocked.
@Cam I don't think anyone bothered to read into the article that far. Plus, it's hard to get past the poor RAM and storage capacity to pick on the screen.
As other's have stated, other than the screen size and Android OS, I thought I'd jumped back two years in time.
CPU isn't fast enough anymore (OMAP3, Snapdragon, other Cortex-A8), and there is a lack of memory - 128MB is simply not enough for a multi-tasking machine.
My Netgear Wndr3700 Router has a faster processor!!! LMAO!!!!
