Cruz Tablet takes on the iPad market

Do you like the idea of the Apple iPad, but REALLY don't want to be an Apple zombie? Well check out the Cruz Tablet.

The Cruz Tablet packs an array of premium specs within its ultra thin chassis, making it powerful enough to replace a netbook and portable enough to replace an e-reader.

The Cruz Tablet was designed to be a total multimedia hub with the ability to display pictures and ebooks and play video and music. Key design features include:

• Mini USB

• SD card reader with 8GB bundled SD card

• Integrated Microphone

• Accelerometer

A full color 7” touch capacitive screen provides a great user experience. 16:9 800x480 resolution screen is perfect for watching movies and videos.

And the best bit? Its running a tablet version of Android. I'm not saying that it is ready to take on the big boy iPad, and the software is not as smooth as Apples yet, but its not a bad alternative.
