ICD Gemini Android tablet gets a hands-on treatment, claimed to be a possible iPad killer

ICD literally upped the tablet competition by unveiling Gemini yesterday. Now, UK-based Stuff has managed to get their mitts on the tablet and they’re highly impressed with what Gemini has to offer. Stuff went hands-on with a resistive touchscreen display that was sluggish but says ICD will have a capacitive display option up at launch.

Nvidia Tegra 2 and 512MB under the hood enables efficient playback of high definition videos and fast and smooth web browsing. However, one information that was different from yesterday was the camera – the prototype came fitted with a 1.3MP camera on the front instead of 2MP. Overall, Stuff reckons Gemini has all the right things to beat iPad and maybe few other tablets that are due in the market soon.

ICD expects a 3G-equipped Gemini to make its way in UK in August.

Hands-on

• ICD creates 11.2-inch Gemini to take on the tablets, including iPad
• Apple releasing iPad in nine countries on May 28
• iPad Wi-Fi + 3G available in stores from April 30
• Apple pushes iPad’s international launch to May due to strong US demand
