Ematic FunTab Family tablet range running Android 4.0 launches at CES

DNP Ematic FunTab Family

Throwing its hand in to the ever-expanding range of neon-colored rubber-edged 'family' tablets, Ematic has announced its Funtab series of tablets -- all running Android 4.0. They will also arrive with the company's kid-friendly Zoodles mode. First up, the Funtab XL ($150) is a 9.7-inch touchscreen for multimedia consumption, with a 1.2GHz processor, and 16GB of internal storage. There's also HDMI mirroring to connect the tablet to HDTVs, while there's two (unspecified) cameras peering out from the front and rear.

Next up, both the FunTab ($120) and the FunTab Pro ($150) run on 7-inch capacitive screens, with the differences being the processor (the Pro version has a slower 1GHz processor versus the standard's 1.2GHz) and the Pro's ability to beam content through HDMI. The Pro version also has interchangeable faceplates -- because nothing says professional quite like a hot pink border.

The smallest member, the FunTab Mini, pairs a 4.3-inch screen with a 1GHz processor and 4GB of storage. At 480 x 272 resolution, the screen is a little weedy, but it'll also only hit your wallet for 60 bucks. The range is available across Walmart's bricks-and-mortar stores and online.

Ematic outs 7inch FunTab Pro with ICS and a Zoodles mode for kids, available for $150

Even though the market's currently populated with slabs such as Archos' ChildPad or LeapFrog's LeaPad 2, the race to become the go-to child-friendly tablet could still be considered as wide open. Having previously introduced its FunTab for kids, Ematic's not exactly a newcomer to this territory, and this time out the company's looking to build on that with the announcement of a slightly more powerful "Pro" model. Inside the 7-inch, 800 x 480 FunTab Pro, parents and children alike will find an undisclosed 1GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, a taste of Google's Ice Cream Sandwich and 8GB of onboard storage which can be expanded up to 32GB by way of microSD. Additionally, Ematic's placing emphasis on the built-in Zoodles features that "create a safe and educational online learning experience for children," plus the inclusion of pre-loaded apps like Skitch, School Assistant, Cut The Rope and none other than Angry Birds. The FunTab Pro will be available at Walmart (and other retailers) for $150 -- and, yes, that includes the colorful, interchangeable faceplates you see in the gallery below.

Ematic unwraps 9.7-inch eGlide Pro X tablet, widens its Android 4.0 horizons in a literal sense

Ematic unwraps 97inch eGlide Pro X tablet, widens its Android 40 horizons in a literal sense

Ematic has a tendency to release a lot of tablets, so what's one more? In the case of the eGlide Pro X, quite a bit. The newly shipping model uses a 9.7-inch, 4:3 ratio display that will be quite familiar to some, but which is still quite rare in the narrower, 16:10-happy world of Android 4.0. It's thankfully more than just superficials that get the boost. We'd say that the Pro X is just that slightly more pro than its XL Pro ancestor through a faster 1.2GHz processor and a doubled 8GB of built-in storage. A microSD slot, HDMI, Kobo's book app, and Ematic's own Google-replacing software all show their familiar faces. The $220 price currently makes this latest of eGlides a good bargain, but we have a hunch you might want to wait until Google I/O -- you never know what you might get.

EMatic thinks $120 is way too much to pay for an ICS tablet, unveils the $119 eGlide Steal

A 1GHz processor, for starters, plus a gig of RAM and 4GB of storage, augmented by 5GB of cloud storage and a microSD slot.

Ematic announces eGlide XL Pro Android 4.0 slate for $220

Ematic announces eGlide XL Pro Android 4.0 slate for $220

Ematic clearly isn't aiming to differentiate itself when it comes to tablet designs, but then again, the company is a devotee of that tried-and-true method of undercutting its competitors' prices. (Remember that impossibly cheap PMP?) Its just-announced Android 4.0 slate, the eGlide XL Pro 2, may not be a "standout device" as the outfit proclaims, but it does look and act like a tablet -- for a Walmart-friendly $220. The 10-inch Pro 2 runs a 1GHz processor and a 400MHz GPU with 4GB of storage (expandable to 32GB via microSD card), and it isn't penny-pinching to the point of forgoing an HDMI connection. While it lacks Google services such as access to the Play market, the eGlide XL cushions its pre-load with the Ematic App Shop, a voice assistant and the Kobo eReader app. If you're in the market for any old tablet, get more acquainted with the Pro 2 in the presser below.
