#android ics tablet

Alcatel has announced its latest Android tablet with an optional 3G module, the 7-inch Alcatel One Touch Evo7. A 7-inch Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet for under Php6,000 sounds too good to be true by the Ainol Novo 7 Paladin has landed and is now the cheapest Android ICS tablet in the market. The Novo 7 Paladin is one of them, probably the first and only Android ICS tablet in the local market right now. Android Ice Cream Sandwich provides a strong brand-influence on a product it is installed on and considering there are very few devices in the market that runs on ICS (Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the older Google Nexus S), having one of the very first ICS tablets out certainly gets a lot of attention. Beside that is a physical Back button and the Menu Button (a strange addition to an ICS tablet considering it's supposed to work without any physical buttons at all). So I got so curious as to what type of hardware is inside the Novo 7 Paladin that it can handle Android ICS out of the box. Android 4.0 ICS runs fairly smooth on the Novo 7 Paladin. In hindsight, has this tablet ran on an Android 2.3 Gingerbread, I would not have been as impressed.
