American Rydeen gPad GCOM701 comes with maps


West coast based Rydeen just announced GCOM701, a new Android tablet device with GPS functionality. Also known as gPad, the device has a 7″ touch screen, front-facing camera, and removable memory. It will be ready in November but the price has not been announced yet.

GCOM701 TFT touch panel has 800×480-pixel resolution, WiFi connectivity (802.11 b/g) and GPS as we already mentioned. Other hardware features include Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Another important feature gPad is that it comes preloaded with maps from Navteq including 4 million POIs – since you’ve got no 3G, or any form of cellular connectivity – you’re going to need this on the road if you intend to use it as a GPS navigation system.

Other specs include ARMADA 166 processor running at 800 MHz with 2GB RAM, and a 2400mAh battery that lasts up to 8-hours.
