10" Cruz model unveiled at CES 2011

Cruz debuted in 2010, when Velocity Micro announced the release of the Cruz Reader and Cruz Tablet. These devices are Android-based multimedia gadgets. Both devices feature 7" full color screens.

The specific release dates and estimated retail prices are not currently available, but it is reported that these new tablets will operate on Android 2.3 or higher, feature dual cameras, Tegra processors, Bluetooth, GPS, and HDMI out.[1] Velocity Micro also announced plans to release an Android based Cruz Watch in 2011, though no other details are known.
