Late last year, Wikipad released news that it planned to bring a 10” form-factor gaming tablet to market. After doing some further research, the company decided to first release a 7” form-factor that has all of the same components and specs of the forthcoming larger 10” tablet. What makes the Wikipad so good for gaming is the NVIDIA Tegra Quad Core CPU and 12-Core GPU along with a detachable gaming controller. So it functions as easily as a tablet as it does as a gaming handheld device.
Here is a list of some of the more important specs from the 7” Wikipad:
In addition to being built to handle gaming as well as day-to-day tablet functions, the Wikipad is certified for Sony PlayStation Mobile, so all of those titles, along with over 100K on Google Play and titles on the NVIDIA TegraZone, Big Fish Games, OnLive and more will all run on it. We hope to get our hands on a version of it when it releases later this year so we can give you a full review.
