Dentro del marco del CES 2012 estamos viendo como gran cantidad de empresas están anunciando sus nuevo lanzamientos. Uno de los que más novedades está recibiendo es el de los tablets y no solo las grandes empresas están mostrando sus novedades. En este caso nos encontramos con ViewSonic que siendo un nombre muy conocido -toca un poco todos los palos de la tecnología- no es de las mas punteras. Nos presentan el E70, un tablet de formato 7″ con Android 4.0 ICS, procesador a 1 GHz, 4 MB de almacenamiento interno, HDMI y cámara frontal de videoconferencia entre otras características. Todo esto al atractivo precio de 169$.
Solo hay un ‘Pero’, que no lleva Android Market ni otras aplicaciones de Google. En cambio llevara un conjunto integrado de aplicaciones y servicios que garanticen el acceso a contenidos multimedia y aplicaciones. Es probable que se tenga acceso a markets alternativos como el de Amazon, GetJar o SlideMe y mucho más probable aun que en poco tiempo algún avezado desarrollador sea capaz de añadir las Google App o modificar la ROM por alguna de las ya conocidas con todas sus capacidades.
Aquí tenéis el comunicado de prensa que ha lanzado ViewSonic:
