PALO ALTO, CA (October 7, 2010) -- Cherrypal, a California-based manufacturer of high quality, low-
energy consuming and affordable personal computers, today announced the availability of its new sub
$200 tablet computer, the CherryPad America.
The CherryPad was designed for consumers who are looking for an affordable, powerful, high quality,
and low energy-consuming tablet computer with the ability to run the Android operating system.
CherryPad is powered by the fast Samsung ARM11, (CPU + GPU + DSP, OpenGL 2.0) 800 GHz
processor and runs Android 2.1 and all Android applications. An upgrade option to 2.2 is planned for the
fourth quarter 2010.
The CherryPad America features a 7-inch resistive touch widescreen display (no stylus needed) at
800x480 resolution with built-in gravity sensor. Memory, storage and wireless functions include 256 MBs
of DDRII RAM; 2 GB NAND Flash; Micro SD (1x) reader, and WiFi 802.11 b/g.
Standard I/O ports include USB 2.0 supported by an external adapter; 3.5 mm headphone jack, built-in
speakers and microphone, DC port, optional external 3G modem. The CherryPad America's Polymer
3200 MAH battery has a run time of 6-8 hours. The device weighs just 1.1 pounds and is housed in a
sturdy aluminum case. MSRP of the CherryPad America is $188.
"The CherryPad America does not compete against the Apple(c) iPad. The CherryPad addresses the
sub-iPad market," said Cherrypal CTO Max Seybold.
According to Seybold, CherryPad has been designed for consumers who seek a lower cost, more
compact tablet PC with the ability to run Android.
"The CherryPad is neither an iPad killer nor an iPad clone, it's a completely different product designed for
a different market," Seybold said. "The screen of the CherryPad is only 7-inches big, the processor is
slightly less powerful, and the CherryPad comes with Android 2.1 and not Apple's iOS."
At a MSRP of $188, the price for a CherryPad is also less than half of the iPad.
"Early user tests confirmed the CherryPad user experience has been extremely positive. Users
appreciate full access to the Android Market, its powerful processor, battery run time, and high quality,"
Seybold said.

Cherrypal also announced a strategic partnership with Zecozi, a new online shopping site for conscious
consumers. All Cherrypal products will be exclusively sold through Zecozi in the United States, with the
exception of volume buyers. Every Cherrypal comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, as well as a 1-
year replacement warranty.
"We are a hardware manufacturer first and need to focus on our core competence in order to drive down
costs and offer quality products that consumers can afford. We can offer our products for such a low
price because we are fugal with non-product related costs. When we looked for a strong partner who
shares our green, open and fair corporate value system, Zecozi was the obvious choice," said Cherrypal
CEO John Collier.
