Hanvon HPad A112 Froyo tablet packs 3MP camera, ereader app & more

Hanvon brought its HPad A116 along to CES 2011 last month, and now there's apparently a second version for the European market. The Hanvon HPad A112 has a 7-inch 800 x 600 touchscreen, Android 2.2 Froyo and a 3-megapixel camera on the back, along with optional 3G and GPS. The 10.8mm slate has a magnesium alloy frame and brushed stainless steel shell, and Hanvon has whipped up its own handwriting support in the office app.

The A112 is powered by a 720MHz ARM11 processor paired with 2GB of internal storage and a microSD slot; there's also WiFi and Bluetooth, USB and HDMI. The 3,300 mAh battery is supposedly good for up to 8hrs of reading, though it's not clear how long it will power the HPad for video playback or browsing. At first glance, lower camera resolutions aside, it's hard to see where the A112 differentiates itself from the A116, beyond the price: the tablet Hanvon showed off at CES was expected to launch for around $350, while Hanvon is supposedly expecting the A112 to retail for around €399 ($545) when it drops in the second half of the year.
