All the tablets will come with a dual core Amlogic AM8726-MX ARM Cortex-A9 processor and will have 1 GB of RAM. Internal storage will range from 4 GB to 8 GB and the devices are likely to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or even its later versions when launched. Price is still anybody’s guess right now, though they should be quite affordable.

There is a new budget tablet available: the Toshiba Excite 10 SE. With a 10 inch display, a Tegra 3 heart, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the OS, the tablet sure makes for an exciting proposition for a price point of $349.99.

The display though has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels which may be a far cry from what the Nexus 10 or iPad 4 boasts of but can be enough for all practical purposes.

Nabi Jr. tablet for kids for just $99
The Nabi 2 tablet from Fuhu has just come out with a junior version — Nabi Jr. Being junior naturally translates to all things being downsized, and that does apply to the Nabi Jr. The display area is now reduced to 5 inches while the price too has now come down to just a shade below $100. Guess toddlers aren’t too critical with the amount of screen real estate they have at their disposal, nor should they be too critical of 800 x 480 pixels that lights up their display area.
An NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor ensures snappy performance while 4 GB of internal memory should be enough for the kids. If not, there is a 16 GB version of offer as well that costs $129. The Android ICS on-board the Nabi Jr has been customized heavily to make things colorful and kid friendly. Then there sure are a lot of games and educational apps to keep the young minds engaged. Add to that the colorful rubber cladding all around and the tablet does look a cheerful looking device at a price that should bring cheers to the parents as well.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
