CD-R King 7" Android Tablet - FastPad

CD-R King just introduced a 7" Android Tablet that they named FastPad. And it costs only 8,800 pesos.
The specs of their Android Tablet are pretty decent for its price.

  • 1 Ghz Arm Cortex A8 - based Samsung S5PV210 processor
  • 4 GB internal storage expandable to 32 GB
  • 512 MB DDR2 RAM
  • 7 inch 800x480 resolution capacitive touch screen
  • Android 2.2 (Froyo) with Flash 10.1 support
  • Android Marketplace
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
  • 1 HDMI port, 2 USB ports, 3.5" audio port, memory card slot
  • Built-in microphone and stereo speakers
  • 3MP front facing camera
  • Accelerometer for screen orientation and motion sensing apps and games
  • Video: 1080p HD, MPEG4, H.264, H.263, VC1, RMVB, RM, 3GP, AVI, MKV, MOV
  • Audio: MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, AAC+
  • Image: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF
  • Ebook: UMD, TXT, PDF
  • Quickoffice support
The only things missing are GPS/A-GPS, bluetooth and 3G SIM card slot.

My guess is it's a re-branded DroPad A8.

If this is indeed a DroPad, one neat feature is ability to connect a keyboard & mouse to the USB port. With these connected you vitually have a pretty well equipped netbook similar to an ASUS EeePad Transformer. The USB port also accepts 3G USB internet sticks (available from Smart, Globe or Sun) to have internet connection on the go. So the absence of a SIM card slot has a work around.

Good bang for the buck!
