PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia will launch production of locally made smartphones and tablets.

The new Android-based devices - Armphone and Armtab - were developed by an Armenian-American joint venture, Technology and Science Dynamics Inc/Armtab Technologies Company.

As the venture chief Vahan Shakaryan stated at a Prime Minister-chaired industrial council meeting, trial versions of the 3D WiFi tablets with 7,85; 9, 97 and 10,1inch displays have been assembled in line with international standards, yet to be offered at much lower prices.

The design and software for the devices will be managed in Armenia while the assembly will be implemented in the U.S. and Hong Kong.

The meeting participants further focused on the prospects of the devices at the Armenian market as well as export possibilities, with mass production planned for early 2014.

In conclusion, a gift of the first Armenian-made tablet was given to Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
