Hannspree announce the new HANNSpad

A few weeks ago Hannspree tweeted a picture of the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich HANNSpad. Today they have announced the actual spec and price for the device. The press release is below and quite a few things stand out from it.

It looks like it could be quite nice, although the lack of the Google Play Store and only 512MB of RAM might make the HANNSpad a little slow and difficult to get apps. Hannspree seem to have installed a variety of third party markets to supply apps. Hopefully we will get out hands on one soon.

The previous HANNSpad was quite a hit with the Android Community as it was quite hackable, whether this new one will be such a hit we will see.
