If you answered that particular question with a resounding “Yes”, then I would say that it is a very, very sad thing. After all, this block puzzler has long kept folks entertained over the years in its different formats, but the arcade original is what made the game so famous. EA Mobile has decided to work with Blue Planet Software in order to deliver Tetris (at long last) to the Android platform, and to top off this piece of news, it will be made available to the masses for free. Yes, that’s right, you need not fork out a single cent for this puppy.</div>

There were several designer smartphones on the market before. This is the first designer Android tablet I have seen though. The tablet comes to us by designer Pierre Cardin. I haven’t heard that name in ten years. The designer has a new tablet with a 7-inch screen that has just launched.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The tablet is called the Pierre Cardin PC-7006 and gets power from a Samsung Cortex A8 processor running at 1GHz. The tablet comes with 512MB of RAM and has 4GB of internal storage. The tablet also has a microSD card slot for memory expansion with up to 16GB of more storage space. The PC-7006 will support 3G and WiFi as well.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
To get the 3G support you do have to buy a separate 3G dongle. Other features include a 1.3MP camera, mini USB port, and a HDMI output. The little tablet measures 195 x 123 x 14mm and weighs 520g. The tablet also comes with a branded case and a gift box. The screen has a resolution of 800 x 480 and the OS the tablet runs Android 2.2. The battery is a 4400mAh unit.</div>
