rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 SmartQ U7 is a 7-inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Tablet With A Built-in 35-Lumen DLP Projector Source SmartQ U7 With DLP Projector in-depth Review >> http://www.androidau...-review-129709/ SmartQ Website >> http://buy.smartqme....rtq-u7-u7h.html Here is one device that will surprise you - it comes from China, it is a 7-inch tablet, but what makes it unique is a built-in 35-lumen DLP projector. The device is called the SmartQ U7 and having the ability to project 50-inch movies from your tablet, definitely puts it instantly in our wishlist. All of that comes in two versions: an 8GB one for $319 (the SmartQ U7), and a 16GB version for $399 (the SmartQ U7H). What makes the two versions different is also the processor. The cheaper 8 gig one runs on a TI OMAP 4430, the same one Motorola used on the Droid RAZR, while the 16GB one features a TI OMAP 4460, the very same processor Samsung used on the Galaxy Nexus. Best of all, both tablets come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board, which should guarantee flaw-less performance. All the rest of the specs are pretty standard, and you can find them right below, but obviously the big focus is the projector. Having it built-in means that you get a slight hump on the back of the tablet. Interestingly enough, activating it is as easy as flipping a switch. You can also press a dedicated standby button while the projector is running and that would turn off the screen, but keep the projection active. Overall, you can expect around 4 hours of projection until the battery drains out, and that sounds solid. The only other similar device we can compare the SmartQ U7 with is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, a 4-inch phone with a 15-lumen built-in projector. The difference is definitely huge when you compare the brightness of the two. 35-lumen is far from ideal, but makes for a much more discernible image in semi-dark rooms. Spec Highlights: 7 inch, 1024 X 600 pixels capacitive touchscreen 35-lumen, 854Γ480 DLP projector 1GB RAM Micro SD card slot, up to 32GB Android 4.1 Jelly Bean HDMI output Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.0 2MP front, 2MP back camera 4,800mAh battery, lasts 4 hours for projection Dimensions: 200.3Γ116.2Γ11.0~14.4mm, 360g 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't use/install windows applications directly/natively on android but can use various android remote desktop apps which can access servers/other PC's. Through such apps you can control the PC through WiFi/3G and run any application on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Acer Iconia B1 is a sub-Rs 10,000 Android tablet from a global brand, which is a first for the Indian market.
