Hail The MIPS Android 4.0 ICS Tablet, It's Just $99 Without Contract!

The MIPS Android 4.0 tablet may not sport a dual-core processor like you'd expected, but it does pack some decent specifications under the hood, and it somehow seems worthy of that price.

Without doubt, it's from Chinese manufacturers, but that did not stop Google's CEO Andy Rubin from cascading some words of appreciation on its release. And why not, it's touted as the world's first Android 4.0 tablet under $99. Interestingly, without any contract.

Under the hood, the tlabet sports a 1GHz MIPS-based XBurst CPU, a gigabyte of rAM, a powerful battery claimed to last for about 30 hours on standby or about 8 hours on video playback, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a microSD card slot for expandable storage and much more.

For now, the tablet is available only in Chinese markets, but of course, you can order one online if you are too desperate to wait until it hits stateside sometime later. And oh, we are likely to see 8-inch and 9-inch versions of the same, if the first offing turns out to be successful.

We will keep you posted as more details surface. Stay tuned!
