YEREVAN, December 6 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia will launch its own
tablet computer and smartphone next year, the government press service
said Friday, on the heels of the launch of Russia's first smartphone
earlier this week.
Prototypes of the devices were presented at a Friday meeting of the
country's Industrial Council, chaired by Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan.
Sargsyan said an Armenian-American joint venture - Technology and
Science Dynamics Inc/Armtab Technologies - would start producing the
Armtab tablet and Armphone mobile in early 2014.
The company's director, Vahan Shakaryan, said it had already developed
test models of the tablet - running on an Android platform with 3G and
WiFi capability with screen sizes of 7.85, 9, 9.7 and 10.1 inches -
as well as a sample of the smartphone.
The devices' software development and design will be done in Armenia,
he said, while the physical assembly will be performed in the United
States and Hong Kong.
Shakaryan claimed that the devices would be high-quality rivals to
already well-known brands at a significantly lower price, though he
did not elaborate on how much the gadgets would cost.

First Russian Smartphone
Russia announced the launch of its first smartphone from Russian modem
developer Yota on Wednesday. The Android-based YotaPhone features a
color LCD screen on one side and a black-and-white e-paper display
on the other.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was presented with a YotaPhone as a gift
from the head of Russia's state-run technology corporation Rostech,
who told him that American device giant Apple was "definitely"
concerned about the new gadget.
