Someone just sent me an email and pointed out that Smart Devices newest MID is available at Eletroworld, a Chinese web retailer. I haven’t bought from them myself, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.
The R7 is expected to ship on 7 May with a retail of $280, and you can preorder now with a 10% deposit. Eletroworld has posted the specs on the R7 product page:
- Processor: Telechip TCC8902 600MHz
- Screen size: 7 inch, 800 X 600 pixels
- 256MB DDR2 RAM
- 2GB Flash
- OS: Ubuntu 9.10
- Language: English/Chinese
- SDHC card slot (up to 32GB)
- WiFi 802.11b/g
- Bluetooth
- Battery: 3300mAH (About 8 hours reading, 10 days standby)
- Connectivity: 2.0 USB HOST supported to connect the high-speed EDGE, HSDPA network adapter or mobile phone
- Others: G-Sensor
- Dimensions: 205x136x16mm
- Weight: 380g
- Warranty: One year
I have both the previous models, and I would recommend that anyone buy this device. The R7 costs $90 more than the earliest model, and based on my experience I do not think it will provide any increase in ability.
BTW, the R7 is running the exact same OS as its predecessors. Any ebook reader app that you might run on this will also run on the other 2 devices.

[...] They’re calling it the SmartQ T7. If you ask me I think they took a SmartQ R7 and installed Android. The hardware looks identical to me, but this one is reported as having a bigger battery. Complete specs for the T7 weren’t listed, but you can find the specs for the R7 here. [...]
