Seven-inch tablet runs Android

“Shenzhen-based Eken announced a seven-inch tablet computer that
runs either Android or Windows CE 6.0. The M001 has a 600MHz
ARM-based processor, 128MB of RAM and 2GB of flash storage, an SD
slot, stereo speakers, and 802.11b/g wireless networking, the
company says.

“Eken’s M001 is an attempt to tap into the market created by
Apple’s iPad, judging by the screen (complete with iPad label!) the
company has Photoshopped onto the device (below). Instead of
running the iPhone OS, however, the M001 is available with either
Android or Windows CE, Eken claims.

“The M001 is said to have a seven-inch touchscreen — resistive,
we presume, though no details were given — with a resolution of
800 x 480 pixels. According to Eken, the tablet uses a 600MHz Via
“MW8505” processor. We take this to be the same CPU referred to by
some other Chinese manufacturers as the VT8505, which is a version
of the ARM9-based Prizm 8510 announced last year by Via subsidiary
WonderMedia Technologies. “
