Regular readers will know my feelings on bamboo-made tech. And it’s not favorable.

We have the technology guys, make it in metal.

But this device from AD creative looks quite promising.

It’s powered by a 1.4GHz Samsung processor (the same as that found in the new Galaxy SIII) and has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. Interestingly, you get a choice of operating system, either Ice Cream Sandwich, or their own AD Android software. Easy choice there.

It’s got a 4.5 inch TFT LCD screen with HD capabilities and a rear-facing 8 megapixel camera.

As with many “cool” products these days, it’s a Kickstarter project and they’re looking at a retail of about R6 000.
