If the iPad seems extravagant and the JooJoo ’s sordid by turns you off , the 7″ Mini HAL might be up your alley . It ’s no powerhouse , but at least you ’ll be able to say you own a tablet . Updated . Scam alert !
The 600MHz VIA CPU is n’t blaze tight and the 7″ touch concealment is n’t luxuriously wide-eyed . The 2 GB of flash memory board is n’t capital . The Android 1.6 OS is n’t ideal .
But if you just require a lozenge without all the bells and whistles for doing some surfing from the couch or take some documents in bed , the HAL seems like a okay pick , particularly look at the $ 199 price tatter .
And anyway , the repositing is expandible via Mount Rushmore State card and the OS is upgradable . It has Wi - Fi , 128 MB of RAM , a USB port , and claims a 16 time of day battery life . Best of all , Haleron says it ’s shipping the HAL on March 1st . So , if only for a few weeks , you may be the first of your friends to be officially on the tablet bandwagon . [ HaleronviaUbergizmo ]
Update : Hold the phone ! A commenter go by “ Brad ” over at Pocketables hasdone some sleuthingand it seems like matter are n’t quite adding up with Haleron . Here ’s what he had to say :
In an endeavor to verify Haleron a month or two ago , I tracked the iLet design back to a french ship’s company which has an active forum . They in fact do sell the figure to be remanufactured abroad . I inquired if they had license to Haleron , and received a solid NO .
If you look at the whois on the haleron domain , it is register to a shipping district office in Miami Fl . Google the CEO ’s name and you get several other failed companies , and a commercial enterprise bankruptcy filing in Colorado .
Based on my research , I believe the society is a cozenage .
Fishy indeed . Here ’s Brad again , in a second comment :
the Gallic company is eviGroup and their devices have several real reviews … and sorry , the whois is connected to an apartment building in Savannah GA .
It was another web site that directs to haleron that was registered to a miami ship hole . Offices in Columbia and Ecuador ? Pu - letting .
