I was at the ASUS press conference today as part of my trip to MWC and managed to catch the launch of the ASUS Fonepad. It’s a 7-inch Jelly-Bean Android tab running on an Intel Z4240. It’s got phone functionality. It costs 229 Euro Who said Intel tablets were expensive? Video below.

Android Jelly Bean, 16GB of storage, the Intel Z4240 CPU, front-facing cam and of course, 3G.

This ins’t a top-end tablet but it’s incredible value for those wanting a consumption device with 3G.

Could the weather forecast be any worse? Not only will I get wet and be unable to test the solar kit fully but with an overnight low of 11 degrees, camping wouldn’t be much fun.
