For those who doubt that Angry Birds are slowly taking over the world, then check out the Wopad V7 Angry Birds tablet. This Android-powered tablet was created by Shanzai and is designed especially for fans of this famous app phenomenon.
The Wopad V7 Angry Birds tablet is fairly low tech in terms of its hardware. The tablet "has a 1GHz Vicom VC882 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a VGA front camera, and 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi," according to designers. The tablet also features two mini-USB ports, an HDMI port and a slot for a microSD card. The Angry Birds features include wall papers and, of course, the game itself.
Surprisingly, Shanzai created the Wopad V7 Angry Birds tablet without the blessing of the game's publisher Rovio. Nevertheless, the concept is catchy, and will hopefully be hitting stores soon.
