We’ve acquired an an official PDF which confirms specification details for the ICD Gemini 11.6 inch Android Tablet. Engadget outed the details a few days ago so now we know the specs are real, we’ve added them all to our product database. Many seem to have missed the fact that the Tegra 2 powered device will be vastly more powerful than the iPad. 2-3 times more processing power (it’s a dual-core optimised Cortex CPU as opposed to the single-core version in the iPad) which means super-fast web rendering times and/or problem-free multitasking. Also missed is the fact that Google Marketplace is an ‘option’ on the device. That means ICD haven’t sealed the deal with Google yet and probably need the weight of a carrier agreement behind them before that can be sorted out. It’s a significant issue because without it, the device isn’t half as interesting.
Full specifications are now in our database along with images that we’ve picked up. Those are also shown below.
The confirmed specifications come just as Stuff, a UK publication, reports on their hands-on session (Via NdevilTV) with the device. They seem very happy…
The Gemini’s built-in stereo speakers sound superb much better than iPad’s single, tinny tweeter…
Web browsing is even smoother than the Nexus One blisteringly fast page renders, smooth scrolling, speedy rotation and full Flash support.
It all bodes well for basic specs but time, price and that Google app-suite and marketplace are all as yet, unknown.
