Skytex announces Gemini and Protos: ICS tablets that sound like X-Men

[![Skytext announces Gemini and Protos ICS tablets with names like XMen][1] ][2]

Last time [we saw Skytex][3], it was serving up a warm slice of Windows 7 on its tablets. Now, it's back with a pair of Androids, one under each arm. The Skypad Protos ($279) is 9.7 inches of Ice Cream Sandwich, while the Skypad Gemini ($179) measures in at just 7. Both slates run on 1.2GHz Cortex A8 silicon, shacked-up with a Mali 400 GPU. Other internals include 8GB storage, and 1GB or RAM, HDMI and a microSD card slot for expansion (up to 32GB). The larger Protos has an IPS screen, and a pair of cameras (5- and 2-megapixels) while the smaller Gemini just has the one (2-megapixel). It's not all about what's inside those box these days, as both also come with 5GB of cloud storage, showing these slates know what's on trend right now. With competition [getting intense][4] at the [cheaper end][5] of the scale, though, is there enough to get your credit card out when they start shipping this month?
