[Onkyo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/onkyo/) is best known in the US and most other markets for its audio gear, but in the past, has tried its hand at [PCs](http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/onkyos-e713-all-in-one-pc-is-the-space-station-to-your-starfari/), [music services](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/11/e-onkyo-music-service-becomes-first-to-offer-dolby-truehd-5-1-au/), and even a [dual-screen netbook](http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/onkyo-dx1007a5b-dualscreen-netbook-preview/). The company also occasionally [dabbles in tablets](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/02/onkyo-tablet-roadmap-shows-a-selection-of-android-and-windows-de/), and will soon be releasing no less than six new Android-powered "SlatePads" in Japan. On the bottom rung is a 7-incher with miserly specs: 1.2GHz Cortex-A8 CPU, 800 x 480 res, 512MB RAM, 4GB storage and ICS to sticky-up your fingers. Dual-core 1.6GHz Cortex-A9 processors, 1GB RAM and 4.1 Jelly Bean are found on the rest of the range, which includes another 7-inch, one 8-inch, one 10.1-inch and two 9.7-inch models. All will be available from March 8th, with damage starting at 10,480 yen (around $114) and topping out at 28,800 yen (approx. $313) for the 9.7-inch, 2,048 x 1,536 res option. You can check out the finer details in the Japanese PR sourced below, but know these aren't likely to make it stateside -- not unless you want to pony up the extra dough to import one, anyway.
