Zipy Fun Executive and University: Affordable Multimedia Tablets

Although the tech market has now a wide range of tablets with the Android operating system, Zipy is trying to extend the catalog of available products with its new MID tablets: A category that is a middle point between the most powerful tablets and multimedia players. Recently, the company announced two new tablets models with Android, and both models are targeted to the low-end market. And while they are not the most advanced tablets, they are good options for those people who are looking for an affordable option. Specifically, we are talking about the Zipy Fun University (aka as Zipy Fun Student) and the Zipy Fun Executive. Both models have the same technical specs, except that the Fun Executive will come with 3G connectivity as an additional thing, while the Fun University only will feature WiFi connectivity.
They will have a resistive-type touchscreen with a size of 7 inches and unfortunately, for some, they run under Android 2.1 Eclair. Also, they come with an ARM 926EJC processor, 4GB of internal storage that can be extended by using microSD cards (up to 16GB), WiFi, microUSB port, 12 hours of battery life, and a stylus that is called Smart Pen. The tablets are compatible with a wide range of formats, including video, audio, images, and ebooks. There is no official information about the price yet, but it’s expected that it will cost around 150 Euros (approximately $200).
