LAS VEGAS — Sungale plans to launch its first Android tablets sometime this year, having released a Linux tablet in 2009.

The two models in the Cyberus line are the 10.1-inch ID1010WTA at a targeted $329 and a 7-inch ID708WTA at a targeted $229. They feature Android 2.2 OS, 3D gaming, 3D gaming applications with the integrated 3D accelerator, e-book reader and compatibility with Microsoft Office. The 7-inch model has a front-facing camera for video chats.

The 0.75-inch-thick ID1010WTA features 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen, HDMI 1.3 mini port, a removable 1700mAH battery that supports up to four hours of continuous use, and built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g for access to the Web and to more than 20,000 applications from the Android Market.

The 7-inch model has an LED-backlit widescreen display, embedded front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, 2GB of internal memory, MicroSD card slot for up to 32 GB of memory expansion, and built-in 1,600mAh battery offering three hours of continuous use. Standard preloaded applications include Google Maps, MSN and Google Talk instant messenger and more. With Google Maps, users get their current position on a map when connected to a Wi-Fi source.

The company is also expanding its selection of portable Kula TV models to add 5- and 7-inch touchscreen models, joining a 4.3-inch model launched last year a suggested $200. The 4.3-inch model, which features portable media player functions, accesses more than 500 subscription-free IPTV channels arranged by country, language and topic, including news, sports and finance.
