PLDT Telpad - Bringing digital lifestyle closer to home


In a market gradually being populated by touchscreens and smartphones, PLDT Telpad makes a big splash with an Android-powered tablet landline that offers unlimited Internet and unlimited local calls. Specially designed and crafted for the modern Filipino home, the PLDT Telpad is designed to meet the specific needs of every member of the family.

Boasting of two models, PLDT offers the Telpad Wave 2.3 and the S7-Slim, providing a rich and no-fuss multimedia and digital experience. Carrying an Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, the Telpad Wave 2.3 has features that are easy to learn and faster to use plus an interface that is power-efficient and clearer because of its seamless and intuitive multi-touch 7-inch screen.

While the Wave 2.3 has a laser-finish casing, the Android 2.2 Froyo-powered S7-Slim has a sleek and extremely sophisticated design with an 8 GB internal memory. Both models’ open-source Android platform makes these devices highly customizable.

Aside from its primary function as a landline, Telpad allows users to access and send messages via e-mails, instant messaging through Yahoo Messenger or Google Talk, or even download countless applications available in the Android market. Social network and gaming apps such asFacebook, Twitter, Youtube, Gmail, Angry Birds and Google Maps, also come preloaded in the device. Emailing, messaging, gaming and using other apps at the same time are no hassle with these Android devices which are known for multi-tasking applications and easy management.

Running all those multiple applications simultaneously is possible with Telpad as both devices are powered by cutting-edge technology processors. The Telpad Wave 2.3 comes with a 1Ghz Cortex A8 processor while the S7-Slim is loaded with 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8X50, both capable of operating various applications all at once.

Even if the Telpad S7-Slim version is equippedwith an 8GB internal memory, the Wave 2.3 has a decent built-in 2GB internal storage and both models come with a micro SD expansion slot of up to 32GB – fantastic for downloading and storing video files and music. Both are also wifi-capable and are equipped with Bluetooth for wireless sharing of files.

Other than the high performing specifications of both models, Telpad’s multimedia functions can take this new device to the center stage of every modern Filipino home. Both come with 3.2-megapixel cameras for taking pictures and recording videos though the S7 Slim has both front and rear cameras while the Wave 2.3 only has a front one. The 800x480 display holds up with the system’s improved 3D and 2D graphic engine for a better way to enjoy gaming and viewing. As for the ultimate digital experience, both models can also be connected to most High Definition (HD) TV models via a standard HDMI cable for the Telpad Wave 2.3 and a micro HDMI cable for the S7-Slim.

Another feature that will truly make the Telpad the ultimate multimedia device is the K-Saya Videoke (Lite Version) application. Karaoke buffs can now get their tune-fixes from the device which offers a new twist to your regular KTV activity. Connected to your HDTV, the Telpad Wave 2.3 has a built-in free version of K-Saya which allows users a full-on KTV experience by letting them choose from over 100 pre-installed songs.  Users can enhance the experience by connecting the Telpad to their existing home theater system or speaker/amplifier with a professional microphone. Best of all, they can watch themselves singing on screen through the video-recording feature. Plus, they can take and store photos and use these as backgrounds of the app.

The Telpad Wave 2.3 and Slim S7 are both offered at a discounted price of Php 5,500, which may be paid in full or in 12- or 24-month installments, upon subscription to any PLDT Telpad plan.



Whether used as an interactive device or a multimedia gadget, or making unlimited local calls, everything you need is now at home!
