Chinese brand Motom may not be a very familiar name just yet but they’re hoping to change that with their latest GPS integrated tablet called M7.

Including its 7″ screen, the specs for the M7 are great as we’ll mention in a second, but only one thing caught our attention which we’d label ‘not-so-exciting’. The OS is Windows XP… Really guys?

But let’s just look beyond that and focus on the 1.3MP webcam, WiFi, 3G conectivity, HDMI port, multiple USB ports, 4800mAh battery, 1GB of RAM, and a 32GB SSD storage. Not bad huh?

Hopefully they can find a distributor here in the states so we can wipe that SSD drive clean and install Android OS on it… via
