Posted on 14. Apr, 2011 by Albert Madison in Tablets
Things just got a little more interesting down-under in regard to the affordable tablet market. Kogan Technologies has launched today their first tablet, a 7-inch Google Android 2.2 Froyo powered device.
Kogan has been talking about launching an Android based tablet for some time now, they were expressing their plans before the Apple iPad had even been news, notes the Delimiter a tech site based in Australia. Yes, the Kogan Agora 7″ Tablet PC has been a product very much on the mind of Kogan founder Ruslan Kogan but it’s only now the stars have aligned.
Mr. Kogan himself stated earlier today for the launch of the Agora “With the Kogan 7” Android Tablet, we have created a device with all the features our customers need, at an unheard-of price. You no longer have to feel guilty about spending big bucks on a tablet entertainment device”.
Now which features is Kogan talking about? You already know the tablet has a 7-inch display and runs on Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, what else is there?
Well the Kogan Agora 7″ Tablet PC has a capacitive touchscreen LCD with 800×480 resolution. Inside there is a 1GHz Samsung ARM Cortex A8 processor, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 4G NAND storage built-in, mini-HDMI, mini-USB, headphone, micro SD card slot (up to 32GB), Wi-Fi b/g, a 1.3MP web camera and a 3600mAh rechargeable battery.
The tablet as a whole weights in at 390g and measures 1.24cm in thickness, if you were concerned about the girth of this 7-inch tablet.
Right now you can get this tablet for off of the Kogan.com.au website for $143.12AUD. You should keep in mind that prices on Kogan.com.au tend to rise as time goes on, so if you are interested it’s best to order yours now while the price is still so low.

The idea they have is pretty good however, they really need to give in-depth information about the product–what type of screen–and they really need to have a video demo of a prototype.

Beware, they just changed the specifications from 1024×600 down to 800×480, after I had made my order.
I’m not happy and will be cancelling the order.

That is just a re-branded Coby 7015, I wish mine had 2.2 though…

I recently used the Liveprice option to buy something of Kogan and I thought it was a great idea and thought I’ve saved myself a few dollars.
Later that night I find the same product again on LivePrice way cheaper than what I paid for.
The Liveprice information the Kogan site states “Customers who get in earliest will receive the best prices”. But when I contacted Kogan they said, I bought in a batch and they are now selling another batch.
So, this statement “”Customers who get in earliest will receive the best prices” from Kogan, is false and misleading.
They are not really giving the best price for the customers who get in early. Shonky hey..
I was given with the option of cancelling my order and buy again in the next batch. Insane…
On top of all this, the specs have been changed since I bought. The word Samsung has gone from the processor spec.
