Polaroid has announced two tablets at CES 2013, the Android-powered 7-inch M7 and 10-inch M10.

The M7 is powered by a dual core processor and runs on Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. A front-facing two-megapixel camera is included, with the IPS 7-inch display delivering a resolution of 1280 x 800 and a PPI (pixels per-inch) of 216. The tablet sports 8 GB of storage, which is expandable if you need to upgrade down the road. Launch is scheduled for sometime during the spring when it'll retail for $129.

Polaroid's M10, pictured below, houses a 10-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800. There's an integrated five-megapixel rear camera as well as HDMI connectivity and 16 GB of internal storage.

Powering it will be a quad core processor, in addition to Android Jelly Bean taking the lead on the software side. It'll also be available during the spring with a price tag of $229. Stay tuned for hands on pictures from our team at CES!

    Those interfaces look eerily similar to Windows Phone Live Tile.

    This article missed something. The tablet has an inbuilt tiny printer.

    Pretty sure a 1280x800 10" tablet is not quite as pixel dense as a 1280x800 7" tablet...

    Still, the prices seem about right; as long as performance is still high enough for basic usage.
    Great to see they both have expandable storage!
