Over the past few months, Aldiko app has been hand-picked by a number of device manufacturers to be pre-loaded on their Android Smartphones and Tablets. For the next few blog posts, we will highlight some of those devices.

First , it’s Camangi Webstation Tablet. Camangi Webstation is the world’s first 7-inch Internet Tablet that runs Google Android system. With Aldiko app preinstalled, you can enjoy downloading and reading thousands of books right on  the tablet. The 7-inch resistive TFT LCD touchscreen will give you a different reading experience. Here is the press release and some screen shots:

(I-Newswire) April 2, 2010 – Being a leading brand in this industry, Camangi is ready to release a new version that provides firmware updates and more superior applications to the customers. The company released their new updated version tablet just right before the iPad shipment, it seems the company has determined that they are not going to be absent from this battle of tablets arising by Apple and Google. 

Many companies have claimed that they are going to launch their tablet soon, but we only see few that actually show us the finished products. Camangi says that new version is going to refurbish their brand and impress their customers. The company announced the reversion hours ago, and new products will be ready for market within days. Camangi already started the updating process for their current customers. There were thousands of devices returned so users can get their free updates. Seems Camangi is determined to fulfill customer satisfaction and are working hard on that. So if you are a Camangi WebStation owner and haven’t signed in for renewal, you should get in contact with Camangi now. 

Camangi claimed that they’ve solved several technical issues and improved the performance of WebStation. They also pointed out that the new version integrates many practical applications which will bring a better user experience. Aldiko and fring are the two highlight applications in this reversion. Aldiko is a wonderful ebook reader supporting thousands of book collections for free. And it’s easy to read and organize your books. Another featured application, fring, is well known as mobile application for communications via the most popular networks in the world.

Since Aldiko was released, we have received a lot of feedback from engaged users telling us how much they like Aldiko and what improvements they would like to see. We want to thank you all for your feedback. It is your appreciation which motivates us to deliver as high quality a product as we can.

However, a point that was raised on repeated occasions was that a lot of people who had interest in the app were unable to get their hands on it, simply because they are located in a country where the Android Market does not yet support paid applications. In order to make it as widely available as possible, we’re excited to announce that we have put Aldiko for free on the Android Market.

The paid version is still available as a “Premium” package, which we encourage you to get if you like Aldiko and would like to support us.

Moreover, we have also listed the application on SlideMe, thus making Aldiko available anywhere in the world (including countries where the Android Market is not currently supported). The Aldiko package can be directly downloaded from SlideMe’s website from your computer, or directly installed to your phone through the SAM application.

Thanks for your interest and support! Enjoy!
