iRiver’s Vanilla Android phone and tablet leak out, a few cubes short of 80s infamy

Remember that iRiver MX100 we spotted a few weeks ago? Yeah, well it’s about to hit Korean retail shelves soon with a new name, more specs and a smaller Android -based smartphone stablemate. The marketing snapshots taken by Cetizen show off both the wildly titled Tab (really?) and little brother Vanilla ( really? ) rocking Android 2.2 like it’s still 2010. Clearly iRiver’s not employing the best in branding here, opting instead for a middle-of-the-tech-road, “Clear Glass Look” me-too approach. Just look at these specs: the 3G, Flash-ready, 7-inch LCD tablet’s running a rumored 1GHz Hummingbird processor with a 5 megapixel camera, up to 32GB of expandable storage and Bluetooth. While its handset bretheren putters in with a 3.5-inch WVGA LCD display, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, 4GB of storage and unknown processor. These new additions to the Google mobile army won’t be topping nerds’ must-have wish lists, but they should do for Moms and other less tech-obsessed denizens of our free world. Hit the source for additional shots of these white-washed beauties. iRiver’s Vanilla Android phone and tablet leak out, a few cubes short of 80s infamy originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 14 Jul 2011 12:42:00 EDT.
