Fujitsu to launch 7 inch Android tablet

After 10 inch Windows 7 based tablet, Fujitsu will be launching a 7 inch Google Android based tablet soon.

Considering the size reduction, the 7 inch tablet is expected to have mobile communications connectivity along with a frontal camera supporting video conferencing.

It may also feature the latest Android operating system for tablets, the Honeycomb 3.1, which is a recently launched upgrade to the Honeycomb 3.0.

The pricing, however, not confirmed by the company but is expected to be price within the price bracket of Rs 25,000 upwards.
