Gemini Devices have today announced two new models in their JoyTab range. The JoyTAB Duo 7 3G (Gem7032G) RRP £139.99 and the JoyTAB Duo 7 (Gem7020) RRP £79.99. Price wise the new tablets are certainly intriguing. The other thing with the JoyTab spec is that they come with the Play Store installed. Also the Gem7032G comes with 3G which is a pretty decent price for a 3G 7″ device. The Duo 7 3G also has GPS so it can be used as a satellite navigation device, whether on foot or in a vehicle there are plenty of applications available from the Android Market to fully exploit the onboard GPS. The JoyTAB Duo 7 3G has a simple, stylish black design a and at 276 grams it should be fairly light in the hand.
