$99 tablet computer Novo7
A $99 tablet computer called Novo7 that runs the latest Android operating system Ice Cream Sandwich will soon be available worldwide.

According to MIPS Technologies, Inc., the new tablet computer has 7" capacitive multi-touch screen - with 8" and 9" form factors to be available later. It has support for WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3 and microSD, as well as 3D graphics with the Vivante GC860 GPU, 1080p video decoding and dual front/rear cameras. The tablet's XBurst processor also has power-efficient architecture which provides extended battery life-the 7" tablet draws less than 400mA during active web browsing. Its battery can last 6 hours for games, 25 hours for music, 8 hours for video, 7 hours for web browsing and 300 hours for standby.

MIPS said the tablet will be available in North American and other regions "within the next several months under brands from companies including Leader International Inc. and OMG Electronics Ltd."

"The openness of Android is enabling a new level of connectedness and interaction between devices and between people across the globe. We are excited to be a part of the Android ecosystem delivering on that vision. We applaud Ingenic's accomplishment in developing this new high-performance, feature-rich Android 4.0 tablet, and offering it at a price point that makes it widely accessible. We look forward to teaming with Ingenic as it continues to develop MIPS-Based mobile innovations," MIPS Technologies president and CEO Sandeep Vij said.
