Polaroid unveils no-frills 7-inch tablet for $129

Polaroid has introduced a new tablet at CES this week.
The tablets main selling point is its price, which is just $129, undercutting all existing 7-inch devices from known brands.

Polaroid's new M7 has a 7-inch, 1,280 x 800 pixel display with 216ppi, an unspecified dual-core processor, a 2MP front camera and 8GB internal storage that can be expanded via microSD cards.

Additionally, the tablet will run on Android 4.1.

No RAM specs, that could be a not buy depending on whats inside and what quad core processor it uses, to vague to gauge a real comparison to the somewhat knowledgeable consumer.

I read somewhere it was

M7= 1.6GHz dual-core A9 processor with 1GB of RAM

m10= quad-core Cortex A7 CPU with 1GB of RAM

You mean, the same almost every tablet, laptop and desktop makers do: Put the logo of their brand in the external case of anything built by little chinese children in Foxconn factories.

BTW, am I the only one or that screen layout shown in the picture resembles to Microsoft's Metro quite a bit?
