The specifications list of this device also includes a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, as well as a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video recording, and preloaded Qik Video Chat application.
The new tablet PC also comes with 16 GB of internal memory, complemented by a microSD card slot with support for up to 32 GB of additional storage space, support for T-Mobile’s 4G mobile broadband network and Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1 capabilities.
