Pandigital Planet and Star adds more tablet oomph

Pandigital is not quite finished yet when it comes to their latest tablet collection, where apart from the Planet and the Star, we do know they have another model in the pipeline which has yet to be announced until this September. Something tells me that this fourth tablet is going to take the same naming convention as the previous three, which has something to do with outer space – although you can bet your bottom dollar that Galaxy will not be used. Let us check out just what the Pandigital Planet and Star has in store for the masses.

Both of these models will feature the Cortex A9 processor alongside embedded hardware 3D graphics engines, delivering speedy response times so that you need not fret about dropped rates during a video playback session – of course, a lot of that also depends on the encoding of the video.

Boasting Wi-Fi connectivity, a 7″ color touchscreen display at 600 x 800 (800 x 480 widescreen on the Star) resolution, running on the Android operating system (no Honeycomb here it seems as it wasn’t stated at all), access to Barnes & Noble’s eStore for access to over 2 million reading material, GetJar support that lets you gain access to thousands of applications from the world’s largest free app store, as well as a digital camera – with the Pandigital Star sporting dual cameras, one in the front and the other at the back.

Oh, did we mention you can also display what you are viewing on your TV as long as it is compatible with HDMI? The Pandigital Planet and Star will will both carry 2GB of internal memory, where you can further expand that thanks to a microSD memory card slot. Expect to fork out $189 for the Pandigital Planet, while the Pandigital Star will retail for just $159 as it arrives this August.
