Here's a little something to tide you over while you're waiting for CES: eLocity today made no fewer than seven Tegra 2-powered Honeycomb tablets official.
While the company hasn't publicized many details about the devices yet (they say in-depth specifications will be available at CES), here's what we do know:
- All of them are members of the A10 line
- They will feature "high-resolution" multitouch displays
- They will be powered by dual-core Tegra 2 processors
- They will include microSD card slots as well as USB ports and an HDMI port capable of 1080p output
- They will ship with a front-facing camera
While this is all very exciting, there's another item of interest here: the press release consistently refers to Honeycomb as "Android 3.0," despite the previous information we had indicating that Honeycomb would be version 2.4. Our guess is that 3.0 is an OS for tablets, while 2.4 will be an OS for phones. Or, you know, eLocity could just be wrong. Either way, CES can't come soon enough!
The full press release follows:
