ICD Ultra Android Web Tablet Preview
By Alexander Grundner |
December 20th, 2009 
Looks like 2010 is going to be the year of the web tablet. Here we have the upcoming ICD Ultra Android powered web tablet featuring a 7-inch touchscreen and a 1Ghz NVIDIA Tegra processor capable of playing 1080p video direct to your HDTV via HDMI. From the hands-on pics over at Engadget, the Ultra looks decent enough for use around the house. However, the real draw is the price point and specs. Word is that the Ultra will sell for around $249 next year and may even be subsidized completely by mobile carriers.
