Datawind first raised some eyebrows when its Android tablet released in India for a government-subsidized price of $22. Now it’s available in the U.S. for $37.99 under the name UbiSlate 7Ci. This tablet obviously does not match the specs of an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tablet, but for 38 bucks, who’s going to complain?<\/p>\n
To me, this tablet is perfect for the keiki you know will most likely destroy it, and for that price, who cares? For its meager price, you’ll get a 800×400 pixel 7-inch touch-screen with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of flash memory, 1 GHz processor and Wi-Fi capability. It’s nothing to jump up and down about, but really, it’s all you need to use basic Android apps and read your e-books.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
If you want to take it a step higher but still stay at really affordable prices, the “phablets” start at $79.99 for the UbiSlate 7C+ and adds on data capability with Edge, and for $99.99 it comes with a year of basic browsing. Further, the UbiSlate 3G7 costs $129.99 and features a 1.2Ghz processor, front VGA\/rear 2MP cameras and GPS capability; paying $149.99 gives you a year of basic browsing. Both come with a SIM chip with an optional plan to make phone calls. Visit ubislate.us to find these uber-cheap tablets.<\/p>\n
Click Chick’s Mobile App of the Week: *#Ginx<\/strong><\/p>\n Last week I had the opportunity to chat with Gerome Sapp, a former NFL athlete who is now a tech entrepreneur and founder\/CEO of the new *#Ginx app. He created this app to bring together large groups of people in a unique way, probably best described as a digital flash mob, since these tags only last anywhere from two hours to three days.<\/p>\n “Flash mobs bring people together for a moment in time and help create a maximum amount of awareness around a single initiative,” says Sapp. “I wanted *#Ginx to combine people’s passion for taking photos and sharing hashtags with the fundamentals of a flash mob.” The concept behind *#Ginx is to be visually social with larger communities of individuals around hashtags and conversations, and gives you the opportunity to be the star of these digital flash mobs.<\/p>\n It reverses the typical photo-sharing model of most apps since you don’t have to friend the individuals in these communities.<\/p>\n Through Twitter or Instagram, upload a photo into one of the Ginx’d tags by adding asterisk before each hashtag (for example *#America) or, of course, through the *#Ginx app directly.<\/p>\n So, how it works: For the next three hours you can see who can submit the best photo that represents *#America and the community votes. *#America was of the communities that was up when I was writing this story, so I added in a picture I took of an American flag from a ship and I ended up coming in first!<\/p>\n It was interesting to see the other pictures that populated in there.<\/p>\n I can see how this would be a great tool to promote a cause, or public service announcements or branding for advertisers.<\/p>\n Join the *#Ginx community today for free with your iOS or Android device.<\/p>\n clickchick@outlook.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Datawind first raised some eyebrows when its Android tablet released in India for a government-subsidized price of $22.
