New Scroll 2 8" Tablet

Looks like a new version of the Scroll will be coming out as I found this on dabs.com. They are saying it will be available in 3-4 weeks.

Looks very similar but bigger screen and more internal storage.

Great little fin there!

From the write up, it looks like they have increased the screen size, but little else has changed

I wonder what firmware it will be shipping with??

Memory upped from 2Gb to 8Gb.

I just ordered my 7" Scroll yesterday but I don't think the extra inch would have swayed me - oo err :)

S.O. are saying this about the scroll 2

With Google Android 2.1 Operating System installed, it gives you access to one of the largest library's of applications (App's) via the pre-installed Google market app.


May be there is small print - depending on the firmware version you get - lol
