This quite intriguing piece of hardware was just brought to my attention. Haipad has just announced their own offering in the 7″ tablet war we have going on. The M701-R boasts a 720mhz Telechip based Tcc8902 processor, the same found in SmartQ devices. Launching with android 2.1, HDMI out and an infrared remote control that let’s you connect it to your t.v. This feature should effectively make your t.v. a “GoogleTV” and you can check out the video below see it in action. Even if this isn’t the full “GoogleTV” that Google is boasting every chance they get, this budget minded tablet still sits to take a good bit of the market from Samsung, Dell, and Blackberry’s 7″ tablets. I know at $199 for all this I may just pick one up myself.
