Maylong M-260 tablet gets torn asunder by FCC, budget internals exposed
Well, well, well, what have we here? Looks like a successor to Maylong's M-250 budget Android tablet, just made it through the FCC. We can't tell much from the filing, outside of the fact that the M-260 packs WiFi, a microSD slot, and what appears to be a front facing camera and a resistive touchscreen (judging from the included stylus). Screenshots from the user's manual also show what seems to be a lightly tweaked version of Gingerbread, instead of the 2.2 beating inside its predecessor. When and where it will land or how much it'll cost is anyone's guess, but we're leaning towards cheap. Check out the gallery below to get a peek at its insides. %Gallery-132768%
Walgreens now selling $100 Maylong M-150 Android tablet
Kmart may have been the first department store to get into the cheap Android tablet business, but it looks like Walgreens isn't about to stay out of this race to the bottom -- it's now offering the Maylong M-150 Android tablet for a mere $100. As you can see above, it's pretty much the tablet of your dreams. Not only does it run Android, but it boasts a familiar iPad design and interface, plus Internet Explorer for a web browser (icon), and access to the always useful "App Market." As for specs, it looks like you'll get a 7-inch resistive touchscreen with an 800 x 480 resolution, a 400MHz VIA VM8505+ processor, built-in WiFi, an unspecified amount of built-in flash memory, and a microSD card slot or expansion. Head on past the break for a video, and hit up the source link below if you're ready to place your order.
Maylong intros GPS Navigation for Dummies device
Maylong and Wiley Publishing seem to think that there's still plenty of room for improvement in making GPS devices more user-friendly, with the pair recently introducing their first device under the "GPS Navigation for Dummies" brand. While it's not entirely clear what makes this particular device (dubbed the FD-35) so dummy-friendly, it does at least seem to be decent enough, with a 3.5-inch screen, maps of the US and Canada, 2 million POIs, an SD card slot, and a built-in MP3 player and eBook reader (and no, we're not sure what's up with the Italian interface either). No word on what it'll cost, though Maylong says it should be available this October, with a beefed-up 4.3-inch model expected to follow sometime thereafter.[Via GPS Tracklog, thanks Rich O]
