Pierre Cardin hops on board the Android tablet bandwagon

Did you know that the Pierre Cardin logo can be spotted on a tablet as well and not only on designer bags and fancy clothing? Yes, we fool you not – the designer house has come up with a slate of its own and has just released it to the market. However, would you really like to own one? Let us give you the details so you can judge for yourself.

The tech specs of the Pierre Cardin tablet are something that pretty much nobody would be impressed with nowadays, namely a 7-inch display with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels and a single-core Samsung processor ticking at 1GHz. What you also get is the modest 4 gigs of storage, a basic 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 4400 mAh battery to keep you going through the day. If the device’s hardware specification isn't disappointing enough, add to it the fact that the tablet runs Android 2.2 Froyo and you get a device that even the original Samsung Galaxy Tab can outshine.

Well, at least the Pierre Cardin comes with a stylish leather case, which you can use to hide the device itself from the eyes of the people nearby. For some reason, the tablet does not live up to the brand name as its design is as bland as a piece of celery. Nevertheless, if a well known designer logo is all that matters to you, the Pierre Cardin tablet can be yours for $450. Just bear in mind that with a weight of 520 grams and thickness of 14 millimeters, this is definitely not a gadget that will fit in the inside pocket of your designer suit.
