hanZpad GS tablet confirms ICS; another reason to look forward to spring

The match of the Ice Cream Sandwich tablets continues, dancing on a tune that’s beginning to get rather muted thanks to the fresh rumors of Google’s coming OS, Jelly Bean (Android 5.0). Still, manufacturers have always found numerous ways to include their own bit of dance steps to the same ‘ol beat. In fact, when you visit most Chinese tech sites, tablets are the en’ thing. Just about 12 months ago, we were introduced to the first Honeycomb slate. But now, we have more powered ICS tablets, and joining the growing list of Chinese-made tablets is the hanZpad GS tablet in its 10.1-inch guise. Engineered by a non-integrated sound card manufacturer – Innovation (Creative) Company, the business seeks to expand its might into the personal digital entertainment arena.

Playing host to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, hanZpad GS’s (Golden Standard) innovative flagship product, dubbed the “top standard gold version” sits at ARM’s booth or rather Cortex A9 quad-core architecture, with a memory capacity of 1GB and 64GB flash memory. Bordering 10.1-inch IPS screen capacitive touch with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, this machine assumes thickness level of only 7.95mm, supposed weight of 480g, Bluetooth support, 802.11b/g/n wireless Wi-Fi, 2.1 + EDR and GPS + AGPS, built-in gyroscope, acceleration sensors and digital compass; external ports include a 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone port, a Micro HDMI output, Micro SD card slot and Micro USB interface. You should be able to nab shots at its rear 1.2 megapixels camera and autofocus front camera can attain up to 1080P video recording.

Sure, there’s no stretching the truth here: you get what you’re seeing and in this case, the hanZpad GS body makes a statement. And we’re not saying its build would survive all the duress of daily use – actually the regular stream of creaks and squeaks linked with light handling of the tab does little to inspire confidence. Covered in a two-toned plastic sheathing, hanZpad’s more premium tab one way or another confusingly seems to be a bit aesthetically pleasing compared to its uniformly-designed slates we’ve played host to. Buyers looking for a palm-pleasant, ergonomically solid construction would find something to cling to here, as the slate’s smooth rear paves way to rigid edges and draws above its fair share of fingerprint grime.

Yes, that’s just about it – shipping around May. Oh, that dedicated Han Pen you see comes with the tablet, a convenient handwriting input.
