Also it packs a 1 GHz Cortex processor and a 512 MB RAM and has a 7″ capacitive LCD screen with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution. On the form factor, the tablet is very impressive than most other tablets of its league even compared the likes of HCL, iBall and other similar makers. It looks sleek with a nice body case with a thickness of just 8.8 mm and weighing 380 grams and measuring 195x 123mm. It sports a good looking back panel that curves smoothly inside, a good texture that sits nicely on hands and sporting the brand name. On the right hand side of the tablet nests most of the ports, slots and jacks which include a microSD slot, micro USB slot, a HDMI output, 3.5 mm headphone jack, built in mic and speaker. On the left hand side sits the power on/off and the volume rocker. So the botttom line is Tab plus Ginger sports a more than decent form factor and doesnt in any way looks a cheaper tablet. As far the performance, ofcourse there is a very slight lag but then I don’t think one should be really complaining about it considering the pricing of the tablet and the over all decent specs and quality.

Tech specification of Tab Plus Ginger Tablet

  • 7″ capacitive display screen
  • 800 x 480 resolution
  • 4 – dimensional G-sensor
  • 1 GHz Cortex processor
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 4 GB internal memory
  • Micro SD slot that can be expanded upto 32 GB
  • Wi-Fi, external 3G USB data card support
  • Micro USB port
  • HDMI output
  • TF card reader
  • 300 K built in camera
  • Supports a wide array of video formats including AVI, DIVX,XVID,MKV,WMV,MOV,MPEG,MP4,MPG,FLV,HD 1080P
  • Supports audio file formats MP3,WMA,MP2,OGG,AAC,M4A,WAV
  • 3100 mAh battery
Our final word, we are very impressed with this tablet for its value for money. If you want to buy it the only sore note is you would be hardpressed to find a retailer since it is available in limited stores. But you can directly place an order with the company and they would be couriering it to your door. Interested? Check their website www.digitalwaves.in or mail to sales@digitalwaves.in]]>

]]> https://techraman.com/tabplus-ginger-budget-tablet-priced-at-rs-6900/feed/ 0 Asus to unveil Phone + Tablet = Padfone on 27th February at WMC https://techraman.com/asus-to-unveil-phone-tablet-padfone-at-wmc/ https://techraman.com/asus-to-unveil-phone-tablet-padfone-at-wmc/#respond Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:50:01 +0000 http://techraman.com/?p=205 ]]> reports, Asus has confirmed that the product would be officially released on 27th February at World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Between the official announcement last year and now the product seems to have been fine tuned, redesigned and also infused more power both to the layers of software and hardware since the tablets are gaining faster grounds and leaping ahead in technology.  Asus has always been a frontrunner when it comes to tablet innovation and it would be interesting to see how consumers react to this new device. The following pic shows how the phone would dock into the backside of the tablet – quiet neatly.

Asus PadFone

 So what is a Padfone ?

Basically you have a 10.1″ tablet and a 4.3″ Asus Smart phone. As you see in the picture above, the tablet has a slot in the rear for the phone to plug into it. Once plugged in, the tablet uses the phone’s processing power while the phone derives the charge from the tablet’s battery. So the tablet in real sense would be only a screen and a battery built-in. Expected to sport  latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich and powered by Tegra 3 processor, Padfone is indeed a real out of box innovation. Since all the content would be stored in your phone, you don’t have to bother about syncing between devices. Another advantage Asus is looking at it cost cutting, since the hardware are shared and the tablet shell holds only the display and the battery. How far the cost sharing advantage would be? We have to wait and watch. So what you think? Would you pad up to this Padfone?]]>
