We recently saw the Andy Pad Pro appear on the web but didn’t get a whole lot of info about the “Pro” version. We know that the Andy Pad project and the original Andy Pad is a low-cost 7″ tablet with a Resistive 860×480 screen. The resistive screen put many people off too, so it’s good to hear that the newly announced “Pro” version has a … err…. SensaTouch screen.
No, we honestly don’t know what a SensaTouch screen actually is. Whether it’s capacitive we can’t say, but it does have a higher resolution – 1024×600.
Andy Pad is priced at £129 ($210):

Update – LandOfDroid state that the Andy Pad Pro does indeed have a capacitive screen.

Hmm. It looks like it is exactly what it is. Made up of generic parts, including the casing. There is nothing to identify them as a brand. And, tbh, it looks horrible and tacky.
Its *all* about the price – assuming that its reasonably well put together and that it works properly/reliably and that the performance is adequate then the compromise in aesthetics for the price is going to be acceptable. But the key is that it has to be useable which is where most of the cheap tablets so far appear to have fallen down.
Pricing looks a bit odd on the included text … with the UK price at 129 for either device but the dollar price being (as expected) different …?
The value of the dollar is less than the pound…
I would still get a Nook Color for 200$us
This is nothing special… This price is about 179£ for PRO version – Better choice is Adent Vega (Tegra 2) for 199£…
So your recommendation to someone looking for a 7″ tablet is a 10″ tablet?
this is ugly
nice device but i think is useless
