China based Bmorn have come out with an ultra thin Android tablet - the V9 - that has curved the recent trend of bulkier Cortex-A9 tablets back to the once popular super slim Cortex-A8 tablets. Underneath the hood you'll find a Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 512MB of DDR 3 RAM, 3G and WiFi connectivity, Flash, OTG and HDMI support and 1080p video playback. The V9 sports an 8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1024 x 768, comes with a front and rear camera and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. With its thin bezel surrounding the screen (which we like), its brushed aluminium tone and crazy thin dimension, the V9 has got quite a few ticks on the pros side of the list. Check out more images after the break.

The ZTE V9, as it has been dubbed (though not official), is a 7-inch Android MID/tablet that ZTE plans to release offering a slide-out QWERTY keyboard which should make typing somewhat easier and the device itself somewhat bulkier when compared to other familiar 7-inch device thicknesses. The ZTE V9 is set to be properly announced soon, and should be out before the year's end, though we can't be sure on dates as nothing concrete has been specified. Beyond that, not much is known about the internal workings of the V9 MID - it is sure to run Android, likely 2.1 or 2.2, and knowing ZTE may likely come with 3G support. More information as it filters in.
