HP's new Android Jellybean tablet, also known as the HP 7 Plus tablet, was launched by HP last Tuesday. It is cheaper than the HP Slate 7 Plus because some specifications were downgraded. The white body is flashy, has a good feel about it, and looks great on the whole.

The HP Jellybean 7 Plus tablet's primary strength is its affordable pricing. With the downgrade in specifications, the price of HP Jellybean 7 Plus tablet was also reduced. It still should offer enough functionality for the average user, although business users may want to consider something more substantial, such as a Windows tablet. In the U.S., the HP tablet sells at $100. At this time it is not known when it will be available in other regions or if it will be available worldwide.

Some may confuse this new HP Jellybean tablet with its predecessor, the HP Slate 7 Plus, but a closer look and feel will pinpoint the differences. The older version is heavier, bigger and more expensive. Also, the HP Jellybean 7 Plus is thinner and slimmer, making it handy to bring anywhere as it fits in your bag or pocket. This new HP tablet is the most reasonably priced, entry-level brand of tablet on the market.

It is reported that HP is eyeing preloaded apps like HP File Manager, HP ePrint, HP Connected Photo by Snapfish, Skype and Kingsoft Office on the new tablet as well as the 25GB free permanent cloud storage of Box.
