From the United States we Images and new details of the new Kobo Arc arrive, a 7-inch Android tablet developed by one of Amazon's main competitors and therefore its Kindle Fire HD. We already knew a lot about Kobo Arc but until now we had not seen real images and no one had been able to get their hands on it. Here's what our fellow Americans have appreciated about the Kobo tablet.
To refresh your memory a bit, Kobo-Arc It is a 7-inch Android tablet with operating system 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich modified, ARC OS, which offers a very personal user interface called tapestries. Is remember what content you have played, be it books, music, games or movies, and makes recommendations for new similar content. In addition, it allows you organize them in folders o tapestries in a very easy and visual way. In these folders that represent themes and not types of content, we slide through the content without having to go from one screen to another and we can put not only all kinds of content, but also links to websites and photos. The presentation of these folders is accompanied by a photo and, of course, you can have folders within other folders. It is a very different way of presenting the contents of a tablet compared to Android and iOS.
Also has Google Play license so we add these contents and Apps to those of its own platform.
Geek.com colleagues received a tablet still with the ARC OS unfinished but claim that it was put to the test, that is, passing the tests known as benchmarks outperforms Nexus 7 except HTML 5. This surprises us given that the Kobo Arc has a processor de dual core OMAP 4470 1,5 GHz, same as Kindle Fire HD 8.9, while Nexus 7 uses a 3 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 1,3, although it has been tested in benchmarks that say it reaches 1,6 GHz and if unlocked it can reach 2 GHZ . If so, it would be due to the ARC OS. For the rest, it is a tablet with good technical specifications, among which stand out its screen with an IPS panel and a resolution of 1200 x 800 pixels that gives it a definition of 216 ppi, like Kindle Fire HD, its 10 battery hours and your storage options. In this sense, it will go on sale with an option of 16 GB by $199, 32 GB for $ 249 and 64 GB for 299 dollars.
It is a good option in low cost 7-inch Android tablets that will be in American stores in November and in European countries, Spain being among them, a little later.
