Having taunted us with specifications for its upcoming Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet, Ainol has now turned to photos to build pre-launch hype. The trio of shots show a reasonably chunky, though also nicely distinctive slate, which is said to have WiFi and 3G along with a 1280 x 800 IPS capacitive touchscreen display and SoChip Cortex-A9 processor.
Ports include HDMI and a microSD card slot, along with a headphones jack, and there’s at least a front-facing camera for video calls. We can also make out a kick-stand, useful for standing the tablet up for video playback; given Ainol is better known for its PMPs, it’s not too surprising that they saw fit to add that in.
Curiously, despite Honeycomb having on-screen controls, the Ainol tablet has physical keys for home, menu, back and search. Still no word on when exactly we can expect to see the unnamed slate hit shelves.

Ahhaha, On-Off button in that place is stupid.
are you sure that’s more important than the fact that its named after a butt?
I am still giggling like a schoolboy 🙂 No wonder the tablet is so cheap now – who wants to announce they have a Ainol pad? sounds like medication!
Poor button placement.
poor butt placement
True. The only thing they need to move is the power button and everything would be better.

and the name of the tablet, which is the hole of a butt
It’s a butt? It’s the butt of a butt.
Interesting. Heaps of companies have nice little products which if they actually bothered to market and iconise in a significant way might gain traction. Instead they just release release release and their products (some good, some bad) end up as history.
