- Best Buy reportedly plans to release its own Android-powered tablet called the Insignia Flex next month, priced from $239 to $259.
- “The Insignia Flex is intended to go toe-to-toe with Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD tablet, Google’s Nexus 7, and a slew of other Android tablets from Google and Samsung,” reports Reuters. “A smaller and less expensive version of Apple’s popular iPad tablet is expected to be unveiled next week.”
- Best Buy’s in-house brand Insignia recently shared some info on the tablet via its Facebook page. The brand has been used in the past to offer less expensive options for HDTVs and Blu-ray players.
- “The Insignia Flex is based on Google Inc’s Android software, which also powers Samsung’s tablets, and features a dual-core 1GHz processor, 9.7-inch screen and 10-hour battery life,” notes the article. “It will also feature a camera for video conferencing and weigh in at about 1.45 pounds.”
- According to a source close to the matter, the Insignia Flex will go on sale on November 11 exclusively through Best Buy.
