E FUN started shipping its Next5 Android tablet computer with patented APEN digital pen integrated into the tablet. The new Next5 has a 7-inch TFT touch-screen color display, built-in Wi-Fi, multimedia functionality, eBook Store app, and the SlideME application manager preloaded. It is the first Android tablet to include an integrated digital pen.
The Next5 features Google's powerful Android operating system. It has a generous 7″ TFT touch-screen color display, 2GB of built-in memory with support for a MicroSD card, and MP3/photo viewer. Built-in speakers, microphone, and G-sensor are also included.
The standard-shape patented APEN digital pen allows users to do real-time computer annotation of digital photos, mark documents, add electronic signatures to documents and create handwritten e-mails. Its special transmitter and software digitize handwriting and hand-drawn images, which can then be immediately shared via e-mail, in blogs, or social media sites such as Facebook and Flickr.
With built-in Wi-Fi technology, Next5 users can browse the Internet, receive and answer e-mails, watch YouTube videos and listen to Internet music. Its touch-screen feature puts turning pages while reading and choosing applications right on the user's fingertips. A seven-mode equalizer adjusts audio to match the music format. Additional functions include a calculator and an alarm clock.
Next5 owners can download their favorite titles from the comfort of their own home using the preloaded eBook Store App. The unit comes with 25 eBooks preloaded. The Next5 also features the SlideME application manager to easily download and purchase apps. It hosts nearly 3000 Android applications, including apps that are exclusive to their site, providing a wide range of selections.
Accessories include a USB cable, protective case, AC adaptor, stylus, 5″x8″ note pad and instruction guide.
“With the integration of our patented APEN digital pen, users can make, save, and/or transmit real-time notes as they browse the Internet, read a book, do school work, or any number of things. It is another perfect example of how E FUN is putting the fun in functionality,” said Jason Liszewski, managing director and vice president of sales for E FUN.
