Oh, those crazy Shanzai manufacturers. Long renowned for their… er… unconventional way of doing business, they’re the folks who churn out millions of gadgets every year that are “inspired” by devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Galaxy S2. Their latest masterpiece: the Angry Birds tablet.
It’s built by the folks at Shenzen Technology Company, who have plenty of experience churning out low-cost Android devices and the Wopad V7+ Angry Birds tablet continues that proud tradition. The V7+ is nearly identical to the Wopad V7 from last year, with a 1GHz Vicom VC882 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, VGA front camera, and 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. It’s also got dual mini-USB ports, a full-size HDMI port, and microSD expansion.
There are two big differences with the V7+. First, its 800×480 touchscreen display is capacitive (as opposed to the resisitive one on the V7). Second, it’s slathered with what’s probably unsanctioned Angry Birds branding.
The iconic Rovio imagery is plastered on the outside of the box and it’s everywhere once you power the tablet on. There are scads of Angry Birds apps pre-installed, including the genuine articles from Rovio as well as several wannabies. Dynamic, Birds-themed wallpapers are the default, as you’d expect.
Maybe the folks at Shenzen are on to something here, though. We’re well aware of the fact that Average Joes buy a tablet for the whole experience, not so much for the hardware or OS. If Amazon can sell 1,000 Kindle Fires an hour, you’ve got to think that a Rovio-sanctioned Angry Birds tablet could do pretty well.
Angry Birds has long been one of the top-selling apps on iOS and Android, it’s the second most used channel on Roku, and it’s available damn near everywhere now — from the Chrome and Opera browsers to Intel’s mostly-unknown AppUp store. The Mighty Eagle Tablet might just be the next logical step in Rovio’s quest for world domination.
