There really are a lot of tablets being announced at CES 2011, and Velocity Micro just launched their new lineup of Android tablets as well: the 7" Cruz Tablet L37, the 8" Cruz Tablet P38, and the 10.1" Cruz Tablet L510.

The 7" L37 has a 1024x600 capacitive touch screen, while the 8" P38 has a 1024x768 screen, and both come with 802.11n WiFi and 4GB of internal memory. The 10.1" P38 has a 1366x768 capacitive touch screen and runs on the NVIDIA Tegra 250 Chipset with a 1GHz dual-core CPU.

The tablets all feature front and rear facing cameras, 3G data options, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS and eCompass functionality, HDMI out and, sticking to its eReader roots, Velocity Micro will be pre-installing the Amazon Kindle app on the tablets. The devices are all expected to ship with Android 2.2 or 2.3.

According to Randy Copeland, President and CEO of Velocity Micro, the goal of the new Cruz Tablets is to create "thin, powerful, and feature rich devices."

There does not appear to be any word on price or availability. However, Cruz has traditionally sold their tablets at the sub-$300 mark, so we are expecting similar price tags here as well.
