The 9 G2 was introduced only recently, and the manufacturer of this tablet is set to roll out another pocket-friendly device dubbed Arnova 8b G2 from its kitty. It appears to be a successor to the previously launched Arnova 8 G2 slate.
As Liliputing reports, the device is devoid of physical menu, home, back or search buttons, which could be a sign hinting towards the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the tablet. It will be shipped with the Android Gingerbread OS. The slate flaunts an 8-inch multi-touch TFT display of 800 x 600p resolutions. Available in variants of 4GB and 8GB, its onboard memory is expandable with the help of a microSDHC card.
The slab is fueled by the ARM Cortex A8 CPU that clocks in a processing speed of 1GHz, in addition to 512MB RAM. Besides a front facing camera to facilitate video conferencing over the web, it boasts of integrated microphone and speakers to keep users entertained on the move. It is also deployed with the G-Sensor and extends support to various audio, video and photo formats such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4, MOV, AVI, H.264, JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF amongst others.
The built-in 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi should ensure wireless internet connectivity, while the embedded USB 2.0 port allows users to tether it to peripherals and computer systems. Powered by a lithium-polymer battery, the mobile gadget offers compliance with operating systems like Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS and Linux in the mass storage mode.
The Arnova 8b G2 price and availability details are yet to be revealed by the company.
