Under to hood, there’s a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor with 16GB of internal memory and it holds up to 32GB extra on a microSD card. Additionally, the tablet runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and supports Flash 10.1, Wi-Fi and 3.5G mobile. The Android tablet has rocket mobile internet built-in and can be used as mobile hotspot for up to 5 devices.

Rogers has posted a new flex plan for tablets (iPad and Galaxy Tab) that start at $20/month for 500MB + the government regulatory fee. With the flex plan, the prices will adjust based on usage and will avoid you from paying top dollar for going over your plan’s data cap.
