Camangi Webstation

Those who are pining for a 7 inch tablet at a low cost need not pine any longer. The Camangi Webstation is real, and nearly upon us. Weighing only 13.75 ounces and featuring a 7″ 800×400 touchscreen display, GPS and Android 1.5 (hopefully this is upgradeable), this looks like a nifty product.

I say nifty and not killer, because of a few nit picks:

  • Wi-Fi is only 802.11b/g.
  • System memory is only 128MB. This will seriously limit future Android upgrades.
  • Looks like Camangi has eschewed the Android Marketplace for it’s own Camangi Marketplace. This brings in to question whether apps from the Android Marketplace will even run on the Webstation.

If you can live with those limitations, the Webstation costs $399, with pre-orders getting you a $10 reduction in price.
