Ematic announces eGlide XL Pro Android 4.0 slate for $220

[![Ematic announces eGlide XL Pro Android 4.0 slate for $220][1] ][2]

Ematic clearly isn't aiming to differentiate itself when it comes to tablet designs, but then again, the company _is_ a devotee of that tried-and-true method of undercutting its competitors' prices. (Remember that [impossibly cheap PMP][3]?) Its just-announced Android 4.0 slate, the eGlide XL Pro 2, may not be a "standout device" as the outfit proclaims, but it does look and act like a tablet -- for a Walmart-friendly $220. The 10-inch Pro 2 runs a 1GHz processor and a 400MHz GPU with 4GB of storage (expandable to 32GB via microSD card), and it isn't penny-pinching to the point of forgoing an HDMI connection. While it lacks Google services such as access to the Play market, the eGlide XL cushions its pre-load with the Ematic App Shop, a voice assistant and the Kobo eReader app. If you're in the market for any old tablet, get more acquainted with the Pro 2 in the presser below.
