PLDT, the Philippines largest telco company has launched the new PLDT Telpad. It's a new touchscreen tablet bundled with landlines and dsl. It starts at 1849 pesos for a 1Mbps connection and landline.
The device comes with a handset which also serves as a charging dock for 7 inch screen tablet.
It also has the following features:
1. USB Host 2.0 (connect hard drives and USB memory sticks to this)
2. Mini USB
3. SD Card Slot
4. Front Facing 3 Mega Pixel Camera
5. 2 GB On-board RAM
6. Same graphics processor as Galaxy S Phone
7. Wifi b/g/n
8. HDMI Output yes it has this. Divx Xvid MPEG 4 and H264 support. Output up to 1080p.
9. Cradle with a serial port and charging port to connect it to the phone extension
10. Bundled Apps
11. Froyo 2.2 Android
12. LCD is standard 800 x 480 . Its not super LCD nor AMOLED. It is capacitive multi-touch.
13. If you were an existing DSL customer, they give this to you for P500 a month AND BUMP up your existing speed by HALF a MEG. So if you are 1mbps now you will be 1.5. If 2 now then 2.5 mbps. If you are a BUNDLED subscriber then your minimum speed is automatically raised to 1 MBPs. This thing is killer. The pad is good but the permanent speed bump is fantastic.
The VERY FIRST in the world I think. Well done PLDT.
