Yifang announced roughly ten new products in all, including 7" to 10" tablet PCs running the Android operating system and featuring 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity as well as motion sensors. The dual-mode input tablet is priced at over RMB 3,000. Xiao said that the company signed RMB 30 mln worth of sales contracts for the devices on the first day.

At present, Yifang has sales revenues for the year of about RMB 2 bln, mostly coming from tablet PCs, digital pens, mobile televisions, and other high-tech devices. Yifang plans to list on the domestic GEM board in 2011.
