    It seems that Alcatel, budget-friendly feature phone and smartphone maker, has decided to enter the tablet race using its OneTouch brand name. We spotted the (approximately) 7-inch slate as it received approval from the FCC earlier today, and as far as we can tell, the Alcatel OneTouch T60 is shaping up to be a smart-looking product for the first-time tablet maker.

    In terms of specs, the OneTouch T60 runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and features Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity (850 / 1900 MHz). The tablet comes with GPS support, Google Maps, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3-megapixel rear camera, and a VGA front-facing camera for video chat. And if storage becomes a problem, the Alcatel OneTouch T60 supports microSD cards.

    Based on these specs, and Alcatel’s long-standing habit of selling affordable phones, we expect its first slate to be wallet friendly, too. No word yet on pricing or availability, but once we know, you will, too.
