3D has now been deferred to 'future models'.



The upcoming 'Wikipad' specs got official: 10.1-inch 1,280 x 800 display, 1.4 GHz Tegra 3 and Android Jelly Bean.

That's right, the Wikipad Android gaming tablet is 'close' to become a real product, and now the company has revealed its device official hardware roster.

The chunky handheld will brandish an IPS display with 1,280 x 800 resolution, NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30 quad-core 1.4GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, at least 16GB storage and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Other notable items include 8-megapixel rear / 2-megapixel front cameras, six hours continuous gaming battery life and a 2D-only screen instead of the 3D originally touted -- at least, for the first model.
What about the 'controller'? Well, it remains pretty much the same with a pair of triggers, bumpers, joysticks and start/select buttons, and will cover the slate's speakers and route sound out the front.

And, it's somewhat heavy...

Meanwhile, though airy for a tablet at 560 grams (1.2 pounds), it's not exactly PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS XL territory -- but then a heavyweight contender could be exactly what handheld gaming needs.
Specific pricing and availability have yet to be announced, so stay tuned for more in the upcoming months!
