The UK team behind the AndyPad budget Android tablet has announced that there will be a second version of the low-cost slate, targeted at enthusiasts and early-adopters. The AndyPad Pro will have a capacitive touchscreen - rather than the £129 AndyPad's resistive panel - as well as both front and rear cameras. The original AndyPad will have 512MB of RAM, it's been concerned, after negative feedback over the original plans to use just 256MB. Worldwide availability - alongside the UK launch - is also intended. The company is still yet to confirm screen details, nor to show a full image of the device. That, they tell Android Community, is to give them some redesign wiggle-room between now and launch. Pricing for the AndyPad Pro will be similar to the £129 AndyPad, though obviously carry a premium.

UK manufacturer Andy Pad has released some details about their namesake tablet, set to launch in less than 80 days by their site. At only £200 (around $325 at the moment), Andy Pad is attempting to fill a market gap its seen. From the sounds of the company's website and a quote given to Newswire, Andy Pad believes the lower end tablet market has many devices which have sacrificed quality to sell for the price they do. The Andy Pad then, while it may not be as feature rich or powerful as tablets like the Xoom or Galaxy Tab 10.1, sounds like it will still be a quality device.
