First tablet with glasses-free 3D is the Gadmei T863 from Hong Kong

Hong Kong exporter Brando has started to offer the Gadmei T863 tablet. What sets this tablet apart from others is that the 8 inch screen, with resolution of 1280 x 768, is lenticular which means that it offers users the experience of 3D without having to wear glasses. In the States, we have seen the LG Thrill 4G and the HTC EVO 3D offer glasses-free 3D to smartphone users. The tablet has been set up by Gadmei to play MPO 3D videos as well as H.264 videos encoded with left-right views and a special file name prefix.

Besides offering the glasses-free 3D display, the Gadmei T863 offers a higher level of specs than what you might normally see with tablets in this class. While there is no dual-core processor under the hood, what you will find there is a single-core 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 chip together with 1080p-capable Mali-400 graphics and an HDMI video slot. Corners have been cut to keep the price down, but this price cutting has been limited to 512MB of RAM and one VGA camera in the front. The tablet comes with 8GB of storage and does have a slot for a microSD card. Android 2.3 is installed.

With the cost-cutting, Gadmei has been able to price the tablet at $199, roughly the same as the Amazon Kindle Fire. The Gadmei T863 might not be as fast as the Kindle Fire, but it does have a camera and the 3D display. Speaking of the display, the resolution on the Gadmei T863 is higher than the screen on the Apple iPad.

Brando is taking orders for the tablet starting today. If you are interested in owning the first tablet with a glasses-free 3D display, click on the sourcelink.
