SmartQ T7 and T7-3G Android 2.1 tablets announced and priced in China

Don't worry, it's not déjà vu -- these SmartQ T7 tablets may appear just like their Ubuntu-riding R7 sibling, but they offer Android 2.1, an integrated 3G option, a speedier 720MHz CPU, and a colossal 4,700mAh battery -- 1,400mAh more than before! If that's woken you from the slumber brought on by yet another boilerplate tablet, SmartQ's also boasting support for a similarly impressive range of video codecs, meaning you can grab any RMVB, AVI, MKV and WMV files (even at 1080p) from your various, ahem, sources, and just play them back on the 7-inch LCD (probably at 800 x 600 like the R7) as they are. If you're cool with just WiFi connectivity, then go for the ¥1,480 ($219) T7; if 3G is a must, be prepared to dole out ¥1,880 ($278) and ¥1,980 ($292) for the EVDO and WCDMA flavors of the T7-3G, respectively. And if you're hanging out with China Mobile, price for the TD-SCDMA version's to be confirmed later.

@JmHal I feel you man, I really do. In fact, have you been working out? I joke but I'm boiling mad, consumerism isn't a disease it's a drug. One that allows users to remain blissfully unaware of their rights and liberties being stripped away day by day. It's amusing that these devices should be allowing us to spread the truth but all they're used for is gloating.

Looks like I don't have to sell both my children to afford this device

If these things have accelerometers and come in black I'll pick up the $200 model. I love my SmartQ 7 and it is solidly made.

Is this ARM11, because i know a tablet running a Cortex A8 for cheaper with a 7in screen and i would get that otherwise, even though the battery life is about 4 hours.
