TVB Tech Alert: FCC Vets Android Tablets
CYBERSPACE: Several gear sites are
reporting that a new 10-inch tablet computer is making the rounds at the
Federal Communications Commission. GizmoCrunch
says the new Creative ZiiO Android tablet has been approved by the commission for the U.S.
market.
Singapore-based Creative unveiled 7- and 10-inch ZiiO tablets last month, both
equipped with apt-X for optimized Bluetooth audio. Both come in 8 and 16 GB and
run on Google’s Android operating system. Both support several audio and video
formats, and feature HD video-out. Enhanced versions of each model can find
your car in a crowded parking lot and tune in local FM radio stations.
Manufacturer suggested retail prices run from S$359 (US$276) for the 8 GB
7-incher, to S$459 (US$353) for the 16 GB 10-incher.
