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 eGlide Pro X runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Ematic has introduced tablets in the past, so it is not strange to see their latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich powered tablet, the eGlide Pro X, to be introduced. It will comes with a 4:3 aspect ratio for its 9.7″ display which is more often than not more suitable for e-book reading than to watch movies, in addition to sporting competitive programs and apps. Ematic claims that the eGlide Pro X is “the perfect device for professionals’ on-the-go or for personal use”, although we will have to get our hands on it ourselves to find out whether that is true or not.

Some of the hardware specifications of the eGlide Pro X include a three-axis gyroscope, a 1.2GHz processor, a 400MHz GPU for graphics intensive apps, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory accompanied by 5GB of cloud storage for you to play around with, and a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes. There is also an integrated voice recorder and HDMI capability for you to view movies and images on your TV. If you are interested, the eGlide Pro X can be yours for $219.99. [Press Release]
