The Nationite MIDnite could be just another Android-powered tablet, but what makes this device special is that it uses the ARM Cortex A8 technology, the same technology used in the iPad’s Apple A4 CPU and Samsung’s Hummingbird.
Not only that, the MIDnite tablet is also priced at only 153.61 Euros or around $200. Check out a demo video after the break.
Affordable Yet Powerful
Due to the expensive processor technology, other components have needed to be trimmed back to keep the price around $200. So rather than the capacitive screens we’re used to these days, the tablet display is 800 x 480 WVGA but uses a resistive, single-touch panel. While this might seem like a drawback, it allows the device to remain affordable while still offering a decent display for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, reading e-books, or watching videos.
Additionally, the 3,000 mAh battery is only capable of providing 5-6 hours of juice with WiFi turned on, or 7-10 hours with it turned off. This battery life is sufficient for moderate use throughout the day, making it a practical choice for users who need a budget-friendly tablet for light to moderate usage.
Storage and Multimedia Capabilities
The MIDnite tablet comes with 256MB of RAM and 2GB of flash storage. While this may seem limited compared to modern standards, it is adequate for basic applications and tasks. For those who need more storage, the device includes a microSD slot that supports up to 16GB cards for expansion and storage. This flexibility allows users to store more apps, media, and documents without worrying about running out of space.
In terms of multimedia capabilities, the MIDnite tablet supports a variety of video formats including MKV (H.264 HP), RMVB, MPEG-4, FLV, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2 up to 720p. This makes it a versatile device for watching videos and movies. The integrated speakers and headphone jack provide options for audio output, whether you prefer to listen through the built-in speakers or use headphones for a more private experience.
The Nationite MIDnite Android Tablet is available to pre-order from the MP4nation website for 153.61 Euros, with the device shipping on August 23rd, 2010. This makes it an attractive option for those looking for an affordable yet capable Android tablet.
The Nationite MIDnite offers a compelling mix of affordability and performance. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of higher-end tablets, its use of ARM Cortex A8 technology, expandable storage, and support for various multimedia formats make it a solid choice for budget-conscious consumers. Whether you need a device for casual browsing, media consumption, or light productivity tasks, the MIDnite tablet provides a balanced solution at a fraction of the cost of more premium models.
