Ouku Night 3G makes the jump from obscurity

With a gazillion Android-powered tablets already in the market, what is another one more to enter the fray, huh? Here is the Ouku Night 3G which is available from online retailer LightInTheBox.com, where it will run on the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system. It is a shame, really, considering how nearly everyone else has already moved to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform for smartphones, with a bunch of tablet owners using Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

The Ouku Night 3G will ship with a 7″ capacitive touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, in addition to 3G connectivity as long as you have a 3G SIM card popped inside. ), a 1.3-megapixel camera in the front for video calls, while a 2-megpaixel camera is at the back to snap candid shots.

Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity is thrown into the mix, while 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM, and an 800MHz processor from Qualcomm rounds off the list of features. Definitely not cutting edge in any sense, but when you consider the $227.69 price point which it is being offered for (just slightly more than 3 hours left for this promotion before the price returns to $312), this might be a good primer for those who want to make a foray into the tablet market. It must be said that the product link listed on the press release leads you to a wrong model. [Press Release]
