The tablets that have been announced are the Cruz T510 and the T507. The clue to what to expect from each tablet is in their names with the T510 featuring a display that falls just short of 10” at 9.7” and the T507 features a 7” display. Both will run Google’s latest Android OS, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and will also be packing a 1.2GHz Cortex A8 processor chipset.

Each will also feature a front-facing camera, 8GB of storage, HDMI out slot, ARM graphics and 512MB RAM. As you can tell from the image, their designs are inspired by the innovative iPad, as are most other tablets. As BGR explains Velocity Micro will be hoping to get a leg up on the competition by offering up a more budget-friendly tablet with their 7” T507. Access to the Android Market is unusually not permitted with these devices; however they do use Amazon’s Appstore alternatively.

Whether each device is as great in action as they are on paper remains to be seen. Next week’s CES is sure to be the perfect platform to launch these devices and will also be where we get the first details of how each tablet performs. What do you think of both of these Android tablets? Will they be any competition for the almighty Apple iPad?

These two tablets both boast a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor, 512 MB of RAM, a front-facing camera, an accelerometer, WiFi b/g/n, 4GB of built-in storage and a microSD memory card slot. The only noticeable difference between the two models is the fact that the Cruz T408 features an 8-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display (4:3, 800 x 600), whilst the T410 features a 10-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display (16:9, 1024 x 600). The image below shows that these tablets aren’t as thin as their rivals – but we wouldn’t say their designs are ugly.

In terms of software both tablets run Android 2.3 Gingerbread and come with Adobe Flash Player 10.3, Amazon Appstore, Angry Birds Rio, Kindle for Android and QuickOffice pre-installed – from what we are told neither of the tablets will have access to the Android Market, which is a shame.

Let’s get to what will probably grab your attention, price, the Velocity Micro Cruz T408 will cost $239.99 and the Velocity Micro Cruz T410 will cost $299.99. You can find out more about the T408 here and the T410 here, both are listed as “coming soon”, however we are told that a late September release is expected.

We must admit we are pretty impressed by these tablets, however the lack of access to the Android Market is a huge downfall, obviously people will be able to grab apps from the Amazon App Store, but what could spell trouble for Velocity Micro is the fact that we recently introduced our readers to the Lenovo IdeaPad A1, this will cost just shy of $200 and despite having a 7-inch display it has full access to the Android Market and some tech specs which the Cruz tablets are missing such as GPS and a rear-facing camera, also Lenovo’s name may play a factor in its success.
