It’s an exciting time here at Storage Options HQ as, after months of working hard to enhance our tablet offering, yesterday marked the launch of the two latest members of the Scroll portfolio – the Scroll Elite and Scroll Engage.
Available to purchase online now, the new Scroll Elite, which at 9.7” is the same size as its predecessor the Scroll Extreme, and contains 16GB of in-built memory which can be expanded to 32GB with a micro SD card. Priced at £199.99, it also boasts the latest IPS (in-plane switching) LCD screen technology which enables the user to enjoy vivid and natural images.
The new Scroll Engage with its 8” screen is packed with features, offering a far more portable solution. For only £129.99, this highly intuitive device supports rich, flash-based content, all major video and eBook formats and even 3D gaming.
Both of these new tablets run on the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system which offers faster performance and response times, and allows you take your favourite music, films and books anywhere with you on the go.
So why not take a look at our new products now!
Oh! Fab news! Any word on 3G connectivity with this version and Ice Cream Sandwich?

Many thanks
Gary
Hi Gary,
The Storage Options Scroll range does not offer support for GPS, so dongles here are incompatible.
Best Wishes, Martin.
Where and when is the scroll engage available? What is the battery life like compared to the scroll excell?
Hi Gavin,
Stock should be available from early next week and units can be pre-ordered from storageoptions.com or from most of the partners recommended in the ‘where to buy’ section of our website (www.storageoptions.com/where-to-buy).
Battery life for the new Engage stands at between 4 and 6 hours of standard use and over 100 hours on standby.
Best Wishes, Martin
Hi,
Apart from the obvious 16GB versus 8GB, what is/are the differences between the Elite and the Extreme?
I have heard that the Extreme has a longer battery life than the Elite and that it is easier to configure to access Google Play (although I would have thought that they both have identical OS configs)
Cheers in advance
Hi Danny,
The latest Scroll Elite model boasts many of popular features of the Scroll Extreme, including the latest Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system, intuitive IPS screen and extensive multimedia capabilities. As you have identified the Elite also offers an impressive 16GB of storage compared to 8GB with the Extreme. In addition to this it comes complete with a European mains adapter for use on the continent.
The Elite does have a slightly different battery to the Extreme, but in testing we have found no discernible difference in terms of battery life.
I hope this clarifies things for you. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Best Wishes, Martin
Wondering if you could tell me when the scroll basic plus tablet will be released?
Hi Sam,
The Scroll Basic Plus is currently in post production and should be available in late July.
Best Wishes, Martin
How heavy is the Scroll Engage?
Hi David,
The new Scroll Engage weighs 450g, which when you add the handy 8” screen size provides and stylish aluminium housing, provides a great feel to this tablet. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Best Wishes, Martin
Can view and/or edit Microsoft word docs on the Scroll Engage?
Hi, got a Scroll Engage and I need the firmware to restore it. I can’t seem to find it anywhere on your website? All other companies that sell these Chinese rebrands offer firmware – where’s yours?
Hi SJ,
For information please contact our technical support team via email at support@storageoptions.com or call us on 0844 248 7191 (Local rate from the UK).

Is there USB driver available for Scroll Engage so that I can use it with adb and android sdk?

This may sound like a ridiculous question but if you have the Scroll which is only wi-fi enabled can you use a 3g dongle to connect to the internet?
Hi Josh,
Connectivity depends very much on which Scroll you have. Our Android 4.0 tablets support a number of 3G Dongles, so you should be able to connect with these devices.
I hope this answers your question, but if you have further queries, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Services Team via storageoptions.com/support. They will be delighted to help resolve your issue.
Best Wishes,
Martin
