Haier Haipad Android Tablet – Still Stuck in 2010 [CES 2012]
Haier isn’t necessarily new to the Android game but it seems like tbey are with the device they came to CES with. We stopped at their booth to check out the HaiPad, a 7 inch Android 2.3 tablet that does absolutely nothing special.
There’s a 2 megapixel camera on the back, WiFi is present and we have some speakers. There’s a modest amount of internal storage but it can be expanded. At the end of the day, though, a completely stock version of Android 2.3 that hasn’t been customized for tablets is a really disappointing showing.
Perhaps it’s early and they haven’t done anything on the software side yet. Perhaps this sort of stuff still appeals to the Chinese market. For us, we’re just going to give them a quick A for effort and call it a day. The video is above.
