Grab the Droid 10 Tablet for Only $249.99!
Well if it isn’t that Android-based tablet we’ve been hearing about coming from Motor– wait a second, what the hell is this?! It seems someone has completely kanged (cookies if you get the reference) Verizon’s Droid brand by offering a 10-inch Android tablet named the – well – Droid 10. At first glance, Droid-Life almost made me soil my pants as I thought Motorola had officially announced the tablet that’s been rumored for some time now. What I was met with was disappointment and a need (or desire) to flog those responsible.
I’ll try not to do too much flogging, but I will twist some wrists. So what say ye on the specs? For RAM, we’re looking at a whopping 256MB, but that’s not about to be outdone by this amazing CPU: a ZT-180 1GMHz processor. That’s right: a 1GigaMegaHertz processor! Oh, you thought they were done? Of course you didn’t! Let’s round this sweet package off with a 10.2-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1024×600 (hey that’s actually quite decent. They could’ve just done what every other lazy tablet manufacturer does and given us WVGA.)
You’ll get 2GB of internal NANDFlash storage, with the ability to expand capacity to 32GB. WiFi up to N is another plus, but where’s the Bluetooth? GPS? Anyone out there?
To be fair, it’s not that bad of a device for the price, but when you think about a DROID phone and the high standards Verizon requires out of a phone donning the name (the poor Fascinate aside), you get a little angry seeing a similarly-named tablet that wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to even some mid-range handsets out there. If you don’t care about anything I just said and just want a 10-inch Android tablet, be my guest.
