Hybrid e-readers have sprouted up around the world, but it looks like Pandigital decided to do something similar when making its newest nova series product, down to the Android OS and color display, though one could say it is more of a tablet with e-reader capabilities than anything else.
Single-purpose electronics are something quite common on the IT market, or at least used to be until not long ago.
Apparently, with how technology has advanced, it is fairly easy to implement multiple capabilities into even the smallest gadgets without too much difficulty or pricing issues.
It is this that led to the existence of such things as portable media players and, more importantly, smartphones that can do more things than most users would ever use their phones for.
Media tablets are now practically embodying the idea of multi-purpose, compact gadget, especially with how some even have detachable keyboards or docks.
It turns out that Pandigital has finished the Nova Digital Reader, a 7-inch
tablet that has what can probably classifies as a very low price.
At roughly $170 (BestBuy has it up for order), it features a processor with a clock speed of 800 MHz, while the display has a native resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.
The operating system here used is the Android 2.3, and while the 4 GB of internal storage may not look like much, the microSD card slot will allow buyers to extend it significantly.
Other useful features include 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, USB 2.0 and access to the Barnes and Noble bookstore.
Finally, a pair of webcams (on the front and at the back), plus a micro HDMI connector complete the ensemble, all the hardware being crammed inside a case than has a thickness of just half an inch.
