Neo silently outs Edge OmniPad Tegra tablet

Been talking to the rep of Neo Philippines for the last 2 weeks about their Android tablet, the Neo Edge OmniPad, but they told me it’s on a limited release to only their business and enterprise partners.



As such, they’re not actively marketing it to the public. I have not personally seen the device but they’ve already promised to send me a unit once it’s become available (looks like a lot of our friends in the press are also lining up). Some folks have bought units out in the wild though {via TPC}. I am told Compex has some stocks being sold in their retail stores.

Neo Edge OmniPad
10.1″ 1024×600 pixel capacitive touch screen
Dual-core Cortex A9 1 GHz
NVIDIA Tegra 250
512 MB DDR2 + 512 MB NAND
Android 2.2
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1
HDMI out
1.3MP webcam
USB 2.0 port
microSD (bundled with 16GB)
3G (optional)
3300 mAh Li-Ion battery (6 hours of HD video or 15 hours of music)

The WiFi-only version is selling for Php15,990 and there’s a 3G version for Php19,990. Neo reps tell me they’re coming out with a better model to introduce to the market so this one’s on a limited release only (the tablet is actually a rebadged Advent Vega and/or POV Mobii Tegra Tablet.).

    ang ibig nia atang sabihin WiFi 802.11 b/g lang, wala sa “n”. haha ewan. andaming pagpipilian, bakit ang archos lang ang may 250gb na mem. sayang ito at ang pinapangarap kong playbook.

    @nineswordz, it has wifi. Read carefully. Just update the android version and bump in 16gb of internal memory plus sd card for the same price and im sold.

    buy filipino! we can’t rely on OFWs forever. let’s invest on our own and become a country of manufacturers instead of copycats. kahit unknown i bought it. why? so that the money i paid for it will make the next model better…

    bought mine last saturday, medyo disappointed lang because of the the flash didn’t come pre-installed and 1080p playback didn’t work, pero now its working mabuti na lang, another thing is its weight kasi mabigat sya, sana included na rin yung kickstand, hands will be strain kung paglagi mo sya hawak. siguro yung sound na rin situated kasi yung speakers nya on the back.

    strong points siguro ng omnipad is battery life, great processing power and price. eventhough wala syang out of the box experience its still worth the buy.

      ask ko lang sir, have you tested the usb port, is it usb host wherein you can read data from a flash drive or external hard drive?

      just played with a unit from compex Park Square but even they could not give me a straight answer with regars to the usb.

    Looks nice, and price isn’t half bad either. Apple products are totally priced out of my reach, so while I know they are grand things (having owned an iBook G4 in the long ago), they will never factor in my personal product choices.

    That said, I’ll be tracking reviews of this pretty thing. My netbook is a Neo, and works beautifully for me (even with WinXP, imagine that); while two of my phones are Samsungs that hardly ever leave my hands, so a Galaxy Tab is also a prime candidate.

    Ah, product competition can be such a lovely thing. :)

    Nice info there Yuga.

    Btw, would you know if a 7″ version eventually come out?
    A 10″ tablet is too big/heavy.

    Nice specs right there. But this would be overshadowed again since release of iPad 2 is just around the corner.
