8 INCH PANDIGITAL SUPERNOVA ANDROID TABLET HITS FCC

A certain Pandigital tablet eReader called SuperNova has made an appearance at the FCC website. You can also find a user manual and some photos at the FCC website. Pandigital has a history of launching eBook readers that are actually tablets. This machine is no different.

The tablet comes pre-loaded with a Barnes and Nobles eBook reader app and store. The Supernova has an 8 inch, 600 x 800 pixels capacitive touchscreen display. It runs Google Android 2.3 Honeycomb operating system. Other specifications include 4GB of storage, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, HDMI output port, stereo speakers, built-in mic, front and rear facing cameras (at 0.3MP and 3MP respectively).

The tablet reportedly has an ARM Cortex-A8 processor from Samsung. According to the user manual you will be able to connect a keyboard, mouse or other USB peripherals to the tablet. It is not exactly clear whether Android 2.3 supports this feature, though. No word on pricing or availability at the moment.
