Velocity Micro’s Cruz Tablet Now Shipping

Ah, the 7-inch Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet has finally hit the crucial stage of shipping, giving present and future tablet buyers even more choices as they head online this holiday season to find the best tablet for their needs and at only $299.99, this tablet is right in the price range for some. Although, it does come with some setbacks.

For $299.99, you’ll get an Android 2.0-packed tablet with 512MB RAM, 4GB and 8GB bundled SD cards, a 7″ 16:9 800×480 capacitive touch screen, 802.11n Wifi, a Li-ion battery with up to 10+ hours of life and a noticeable lack of the Android Market. Instead of the Android Market, you’ll find the Cruz Tablet comes preloaded with Velocity Micro’s own Cruz Marketâ„¢, a substitute for the growing Android Market.

Now, for those of you who know your way around tablets so far, you’ll know that Android 2.0 is a bit far back to be on the Android release totem pole with 2.3 (Gingerbread) coming soon with possible better tablet support.

So, what do you guys think of the Cruz Tablet? Does it stand up the it’s competitors such as the Galaxy Tab, or the Advent Vega? Let us know your opinion in the comments!
