As further confirmation to ncruz' post: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/19/motorola_mpx_dead/
Looks like you'll be one of the few. I thought this phone would be worth waiting for, while putting up with the XDA2.
I can't imagine why they binned it...

Well i have no clue either dude - this phones pretty coool i m lucky i got 2 of these i sold 1 so far one is up for sale - who ever pays me good it goes to him

They binned it because all of their recent phones have been junk. Lots of glitz features, but they don't work worth a damn. I went through two V600s, they were horrible. Both would drop calls in specific places in town, every time I went through them. No other phones did this. Both would lock up randomly (at least every other day, usually more often). I'd have to remove and replace the battery.
Then there was the MPx220 fiasco. How many times did they recall those from the stores for fixes? Last I looked into it, they still sucked. Compared to the SMT5600 (which I used for a couple months), they are pure crap.
Moto wised up and cancelled their contract with their cheap Chinese manufacturer and are moving the manufacturing back to their own plants. That will take a while to ramp up, so I imagine they decided to try to salvage their reputation by taking these phones off the market.
Then we have the carriers, who are just ****ting themselves at the thought of people being able to roam across VoIP/Wi-Fi and not use their networks. They know they are screwed, but they want to delay it as much as possible. I'm sure they put pressure on Moto. Most of the cell phone market is driven by the carriers, not the consumers, at least in the US.
And then there's China...whose government refused to allow the sale of Wi-Fi capable phones unless they went through some special certification process of their own design, and Moto told them to bugger off, figuring it wasn't worth it.

This phone got binned as well because its storage sucks my a..!!! 32mb use able haha. Yeah right. Why dont you just buy an XDA IIi. 128mb rom and 128 sdram. 520mhz intel chip, can you feel the need for speed? :lol:

Hey!
I also own the MPx and got the Feb 8 (test version) from howardforums. I'm really interested in what ROM version you have and if you find a way to extract the ROM, can you please send me a copy?
Thanks so much...
btw, my email add is [email protected]

Android Tablet Discussion

I was thinking that a Generic Android Tablet Discussion thread would be a good idea. No matter the brand , maker size etc. Talk about them here.
Im debating between the Archos 101 and waiting to see if the Moto tab is good.

Whats Out There
I have been keeping a keen eye out for the variety of higher end tablets and here is what I have sort of come up with so far:
Samsung Tablet (7")
Motorola Stingray (10")
Viewsonic viewpad (7")
LG Optimus pad
SteamTV Elocity pad (7")
Archos Family of pads (3"-10")
They all have there merits, and the minor things that make them not so great. But here is a list of the gamot of features you can look for. Some of the tablets have alot of them, some have none, its basically what you want to do with it:
3G
WIFI
GPS
Bluetooth 2.1 or 3.0
Capacitive Screen
USB port(s)
(Micro) SD card slot
HDMI
G-Sensor
Accelerator meter
Geomagnetic sensor
Light Sensor
Front Camera
Back Camera
Google Apps Integration
NVIDA Tegra 2 versus 1GHx CPU w/ GPU
1024 x 600 resolution versus 800 x 480
RAM
Disk Space
Version of Android (2.2 now 3.0 later)
-MW

I know they are poppping out of the woodwork now. My biggest thing is that the majority are really expensive. Like the new Toshiba announced today is $540. THat is why Either the Cruz or Archos will match all my criteria. But the nice thing is that there seems to be a ton of different options.
Toshiba Folio 100
10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 (Froyo)
NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
16 GB internal storage (32 GB available SD expansion)
Adobe Flash 10.1
1.3 MP front-facing camera
Mini-HDMI
USB 2.0
Bluetooth 2.1
WLAN (802.11)
Mobile broadband (available Q1 2011)

I've been disappointed with the IFA ones as almost all of them have 3G which means here, onerous data contracts or ridiculous prices w/o.
Archos underwent feature regression(e.g. no GPS), and has some whacked prices for the 70 & 101. The rest seem kind of useless to me too small and at least the smallest two don't have any way of expanding storage which makes them kind of useless as anything other than a portable music player.
The Viewsonic is the Olivepad one? Didn't seem to be all that great.
Toshiba Folio MIGHT have been nice, but that Tegra will likely make it expensive.
...just too many hawking 3G and not enough that have useful extras like higher res cameras, GPS, mics, and maybe bluetooth... i.e. I'm just meh'ed by IFA offerings... Witstech A81-E is still looking good and they just got another new fw release 8/31...

Good catch, forgot the toshiba one. Here is what I am looking for a tablet:
3G (mainly so I can have google apps)
7" Display
Capacitive screen (OMLED prefered)
1024 x 600
Android 2.2 upgradeable to android 3.0
front camera
1 GHz CPU (perferably the tegra 2)
GPU (if no NVIDIA CPU)
front camera (dont care about a back one)
A-GPS
Bluetooth (at least 2.1)
WIFI B/G/N
USB
8+ GB internal storage
SD card slot is nice but not manditory
HDMI is nice but not manditory
Which matches up with the samsung tab, but the British price I found had it at over 600 British pounds, which converts to over 1000 US dollars.

Damn that is expensive.
Im mainly looking for a ereader, web surfer, watch some videos on trips, and check my gapps when on wifi.

Check out the stream tv elocity pad. No 3g, but no gps ether. the reason why everyone puts on 3g is because it's the only way to get google apps on it, until google changes their requirements for google apps.

My wishlist is 2ghz processor at least 50gb harddrive maybe even (dare I say it) windows 7. I would like my tablet to replace my laptop. Android just isn't ready yet.
I saw talks of honeycomb [url="http://phandroid.com/2010/09/02/android-3-5-honeycomb-to-be-on-samsungs-next-generation-of-tablets-in-2011/]"here[/url] on the samsung tablet. That might be nice . Or that isn't going to be outdated in a few months

I think a 2Ghz CPU, as of right now, is over powered for android. I have a Gentouch78 tablet that runs at 600MHz and it seems to run OK. My 1GHz nexus one has had no issues, and I have it multi tasking several apps at once sometimes. It will get really hot, especially when I toss the car charger on it while its doing all that, but never seen it slow down to unresponsiveness. As for the HDD space. I dont use mine much for multi media, so 50gb would be overdoing it for me. Just the ability to have an SD card slot would be enough for me, that right there is 32 gb.
Now dealing with the android OS itself, this is where things are starting to get wierd. You have 2.2, which is really a phone OS, you have 3.0 which is really a tablet OS, and so the current samsung tablet is supposed to be 2.2 and will get 3.0, but now this 3.5 is where it gets confusing. Some of the stuff I have been reading is stating that 3.5 is going to be an entirely different OS completly, or at least have an entirely different usage beyond that of a tablet or cell phone. And that you will have to buy an entirely new piece of hardware to use it because samsung already said their current tablet wont get 3.5 when it comes out, but i twill get 3.0. This is making me think that 3.5 may be the google chrome OS, which from what I am hearing I am not a total fan of. So basically, the idea as I understand it, is that the hardware will just be the input/output device and all the applications will be stored on teh cloud as well as the work being done will be done on the cloud. This is all nice and dandy until either 1) everyone gets on all at once and bogs down the system or 2) the cloud or network goes down and the device is worthless. Thats why I like android right now. If you have no data connection you can still do work. Now some things on android that do run off the cloud, like the GPS, if you need to reroute and you loose the data connection, since all the work is done on the back end you cant get anywhere until the data connection comes back.
Since Android is a full fledge Linux OS I think it can do whatever you need it to do, you just need to port the apps over. So i think it can replace a laptop, but there will always be certain things that make a laptop easier to use that are unrelated to the android OS, like a real keyboard. With phones, for instance, I still feel more comfortable texting on a physical keyboard on my blackberry then I do on the virtual keyboard on my nexus one. Now can I develope a web page, photoshop some images and toss them on the web page, with android? If they ported the apps over then sure why not, the physical keyboard will just make it easier. But as soon as you start talking windows 7 you are changing the entire hardware requirements (ARM CPU versus an x86 CPU) which will allow you to run your favorite web development software and photo editing software, and now your 50gb of disk space will be all chewed up with the OS and applications but no room for media, and with the new hardware requirements the price goes up (not like the samsung tab isnt expensive either) but then the bottom line is its still awkward to use because of the lack of a physical keyboard.
Now I am just using web development/photo editing as an example, simplier tasks, like email and web surfing, will require less and are easily done on the android OS. But the bottom line is to use the right tool for the right job, outline your requirements and find a solution that best fits your needs. I believe that android will be a decent laptop replacement if all your doing with your laptop is surfing the web and sending email but if your trying to do less casual stuff, like photo editing and web development, then android right now is obviously not enough, but in the future it might be. It goes back to the age old question, does hardware push the software industry, or does software push the hardware industry?

Nice...
@mothy: They're all very nice and all..but taking out the GPS is like taking a step back.....Price is nice, but I'm sure there'll be cheaper WITH GPS before too long.

Hmmm.... looks like they took a screenshot of an android VM running on ubuntu and photoshopped it into their device. If they don't have any pictures of the tablet in action, I'd be really dubious...

Finally I ordered this one, so will post some review when it arrives.

So I tested tablet I ordered few weeks ago and realized that this is the same device as Advent Vega. I test quadrant benchmark and got 2200 points without any customization of rom.
Screen is nice and response is fast. I can recommend this one.

Welcome Back... We'll need a user section on these over at Slatedroid like we setup for the ZT-180... I believe that this is a 'Malata SMB-A1002' tablet based at least on what comparison we can see from FC pictures... It' seems to match up with similar specs as the 'Advent Vega' tablet so based on some vodeo reviews of that similar tablet this should be a screamer!

(Hmmm - ok, so this seems like double posting to me now, since it's in the Flat Computing Forum already. Ok last time I'll put the same info in both forums.)

well, let's hope this one or a clone will be available for around 299.
That would be a ipad killer.
considering the price of 199 for the A10, the A10T might be available elsewhere for at least 350.
let's wait and see .
Maybe the first post can contain the hardware compatible models?

Well, the ZT-180 was also known as ePad, Apad (A10?) en probably other names.
It would be interesting to have all the variations here, so we spot the most affordable one .

I saw that before. I wonder if it is capacitive.
The commenter says it runs 2.1 and it looks a bit inresponsive sometimes, so I wonder if it is the same hardware.

Anyone get one of these yet?

have cancelled my order , their main page say's sold out mid january
but i havent even got the one i ordered for october let alone any notification

Flat Computing A10T review
A10t Review
I have been using the A10t (engineering model) for over 1 week. Following are my thoughts:
1. This unit is extremely fast. I played a DVD quality movie (full screen), and rotated the tablet, while the vid was playing. It didn't miss a beat.
2. Zooming in/out is extremely smooth and fast.
3. Wifi works great.
4. The display is unreal, (GREAT), beats the ipad
I ran this next to an Ipad, there is no comparison, This IS an Ipad KILLER!!!
It has no drawbacks, that I can find, except posibly the weight, but this is a 10" screen.
This review is short and sweet
I will write a full review in the very near future.
This is NOT vaporware. Those of you that are thinking about cancelling your order, should thing not once, twice, but thrice, before cancelling.
Remember, I am testing an engineering version of this tablet, ROMs are still being worked on. If it works this well in the engineering model, I can't wait to get the
production unit that I ordered.

hi,
So you can confirm it runs Android 2.2 and has flash 10.x running?
I bought the iPad which has blown away my zt-180.
I would not call it an iPad killer untill I see a similar great app stack is developped for Android that uses the screen size properly.
Sounds great, I will definitely check it out.
Please keep us informed!

This page shows the current models :
http://www.androidpads.com/2010/09/...-interpad-hanspree-snappiness-for-around-400/
Did anyone test one yet?
I wonder if battery life is correct, if external gps can be used, 3G dongle and if it is flashable?
Good value for money imho.
I am missing a front camera only.

Infinity vs. Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD?

I have already purchased Infinity, but its through the Amazon so have still potential to return. The overall company reputation wise ASUS is superior to Huawei but with some of the issues on Infinity (which all seem to be fixable but whether they be fixed is another topic).

- This does not use Tegra 3; therefore, no TegraZone for those who wants to play games from TegraZone. However, according to several sites Huawei's quadcore can be up to 30-40% faster than the Tegra 3 with GPU possessing 16 or 18 cores compared to Tegra 3's 12 cores.
- In addition, this is the first android tablet with 2GB of RAM.
- It will have HD screen.
- Downside is 8GB of internal storage. With OS installed I am not sure how much left. Though I saw one site said it has 16 GB space, which is still small but with that I can go as long as it supports 32 or 64 microSD with full speed.
Infinity's performance is most likely restricted by I/O, which may or may not be related to Tegra 3. So better spec CPU/GPU and RAM may not necessary solve the issue. Quite frankly, better performance on CPU/GPU are just speculation and I have not seen official benchmarks (remember GPU on A5X has only 4 cores but superior to the Tegra 3 so #s of cores does not equate to the performance).
My honest hope is that ASUS realize this as potential competition/threat and decides to really fix existing issues on infinity to show what its true power is. Overall, I am truly impressed with infinity where it runs it run extremely smooth without lag, but when I/O issue kicks in that's when things are really noticeable.
What do you all think?

>>have edited the QUIOTED section = for few points to consider::
So lets deal with GENERAL (higher level) topics:
Asus = is generally regarded as "APPLE" of Asia ! Infact if you have the Infinity packing etc ,,, and if ever you have had got ANY APPLE prodcuts , you will see HOW ASUS is 'copying' apple's PACKAGING ... down the the user manual 'envelope' and cables/connectors > let along come up with NEAR APPLE SPECS ( unlike someone esle jsut downright COPYING & and using Apples ha/w parts that they msfger ,,, etc etc
Am no teckie geek (to all teckie > bows .. hail to ya guys...) but I have been using laptops since 1980s ... tablets since the first IPAD ...and so in last 23 yrs haveing travelled 6 Millions ((3 million each with 2 MAJOR airlines FF programs)) > so yes lots of travelling stories of 'broken hardware' when u needed it MOST !!!..........>>>so just some background of where I am based my views >>>>
>>>HowWai (partdon the PUN!) .....often is cheap and nasty is often reffered in manylands as "HAY_WAY" or mind of its OWN!!! so if the specs are to be 'beleived' then at best you will get 2G in place to 3G ,,,, and LTE = based on CHINA TELECOM and maybe not to GSM standards ............blah blah ....(not to mention several CODE/HACK issues thats lots of teckie pple have talked about etc etc....)
>screen = IPS ( seems lot older tech - out of copyright specs is what u get) not the IPS+PLUS
I have been using IPS panel laptops (Thinkpad T60&T61P) since 2007 ... they are shear DELIGHT to view most movies and show PPTS = best best tool to have ... but the IPS+PLUS = like 1000 times better !!
> Cheap PLASTIC backing ( which often distourts and causes HARDWARE failure ( epsecially if u backacker on long trips like me) I prefer a SOLID BACKING ie metal backing (( thats why APPLE and ASUS = did theirs that way!! and SAMSUNG is finding that out fast in their GALAXY ranges)............
Sorry no offence to the ANY of the msfgers , but just some of my personal observations. I have had the ATT tablets from H'ai and after exchanging 12 of them in 6mths , and endless 'tech' issues ( not to mentioned some TECH support tired to do REMOTE LOGIN (without asking for permission first) after i logged in a SUPPORT call..... and finding ' applets/java scripts (to capture my password) ' installed by that guy ----- DONT GIVE ME MUCH comfort ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if not raging MAD !!! you get what you PAY FOR = true here )
So even if you disregard these teckie guy's stupidity ........... ASUS = still rocks in everyway ... Their Specs + Warranty ; Exchange + Tech Support + XDA develeopers acess ............
IMHO ASUS makes it no brainer !! .....:highfive:

>Buying anything from shady chinese company
Also, I've heard bad reviews about Huawei before.

Please guide me were I can read more about IPS+PLUS, cant find any when I google it.

Anyone now start considering about Huawei Mediapad FHD?

When initially Mediapad FHD was announced, most of us said well it's Huawei. Bad reputation company... But with so many QC issue ASUS is having, I am start thinking ASUS is as good/bad as Huawei (well I actually never tried Huawei so maybe I should not say this..).
As far as the specification on paper, this unit could be equal or perhaps even superior to the Infinity.

The key specification here is CPU/GPU. Despite slower CPU clock speed it has better GPU (at least core # wise). This is like Exynos chip that Samsung has. Simply looking at New Ipad its CPU is mere 1GHz Dual Core, but GPU is where its power is. If you look at Benchmarks Android tablet beats CPU power but GPU power is far inferior. Exynos chip on SIII and Galaxy Note 10.1 comes the closest but yet far away. But considering how stable Galaxy Note 10.1 is (even on ICS), the stability must be coming from the memory (2GB) or GPU or maybe Nand (perhaps combination of all). So if mediapad does it right, it may function better overall than the Infinity, which definitely has some bottle neck somewhere.
I am not saying the MediaPad FHD would for sure be superior, but as Infinity having so many issues, giving a try on MediaPad FHD might not be a bad idea.
*Too bad MediaPad FHD gave up on 2GB memory as originally planned.

No because:
1. Huawei doesn't get dev support, ASUS gets some.
2. 1.2 ghz vs 1.7 ghz
3. 1 GB of RAM is the same
3. Not IPS+
Yes because:
1. Questionably better quality control

#1 is probably big on tech savy people which I guess majority of people on XDA.
#2, again I don't know much importance. Exynos on Galaxy Note 10.1 is 1.4 GHz but essentially equivalent Atuntu score and actually overall more smooth/stable than the Infinity (when infinity is performing at its peak with tweaks, I think it can match but not consistent and definitely not for everyone)
#3, I don't know why Huawei dropped this... It originally had 2GB RAM
#4. Hmm... Even with IPS+ under the direct sunlight I still had difficulty seeing and inside, I don't need IPS+, so for me IPS+ was never needed option.
Now for QC, never knows but with current QC track record of ASUS I am seeing, I cannot imagine any company could be much worse than that.
I think key Yes. here (Potential) is "16 core GPU."
But again who knows... I'm just throwing this here because I really want to have FHD tablet.... but cannot go back to Infinity until the ANR after ANR issue gets solved..
P.S. I never found Keion that interesting... but I know it is extremely highly rated anime.

H-how dare you insult my favorite anime!
Joking aside, the main reason for instability on the infinity are the FHD screen (which the mediapad shares) and the IO issues (which the mediapad does not have).
Also wanted to add the infinity has a 12(+?) core GPU.

I hope fhd is not the issue but it could be... if so, until next generation cpu gpu combo comes, the issue will not be solved.. infinity has 12 gpu cores and note has 16. So gl benchmark of note is the best of all android tablets still behind new iPad.
I liked bakemonogatari though.

Never heard of 'em...

Not buying cheap chinese knockoff. Almost no Chinese company I knows of has the ability to perform effective QC like the Taiwanese/Japanese/American companies do.
The closest one I can think of is Lenovo and their line of computers are still a long way from the old Thinkpads of yore (the corporations who stopped using thinkpads are a clear indication of that).

Funny considering that all iPhones and iPads are made by a Chinese company.
Huawei is fast becoming one of the largest telecom companies in the world.

There's a difference between manufacturing and quality control.

Well Huawei, is still quite unknown, but the latest phones were not that bad.
I just don't understand why they wait so long to release their products. For example the new quad phone was announced for April? and still nothing. Now they have to fight against s3,hox and soon Note 2 and I phone 5,which is pretty hard.
For the pad is the same. Against note 10.1, tf700 and "new", ipad-I don't really so a chance. Well prove me wrong.
Nevertheless I will take a look at it, just to compare.

True. But with its reputation, only way huawei can prove is when compared to more known brand. Otherwise, most would simply dismiss by saying but tf700 is coming soon... I really like fhd so hope either this or tf700 next update is the answer.

I'm thinking about the Mediapad FHD.
A combination of the lack of 3g support on the Infinity & Asus' stupid pricing in the UK means I will be looking at other options.

Actually, after returning my TF700 after a few days (freezing , light bleed, ands creen input Issues), I now think the way to go will be the new Microsoft Surface or some other Windows RT tablet , assuming they can get developers to create bunches of apps like Android and Apple (But I remember that app creation started off slow for both these platforms as well - Do you remember how few Ipda apps there were at the beginning) Hardwarewise it is a gamechanger. If you get a chance, watch the keynote video on it. I don't think QC will be an issue - I think it will be Applelike detail, but with a system that allows expandability via USB and sd, which is what I want, as well as that new keyboard. We are so close to release now that it would be a mistake to jump into another platform without at least seing what is released.
I really wanted to have Aius work for me but after 2 failed attempts (Prime and Infinity) I give up.

Well UK will get MediaPad before US so hope to see some review from there.

Windows 8 tablet is definitely interesting player. But based on the recent IFA Berlin, I feel like their target audience is slightly different. Here is why.
Windows 8 RT
This is more of direct competition to Android Tablet & iPad. But just as you mentioned, it will likely to take sometime before app market catches up with that of iPad or Android. Both had phone background so though they weren't initially optimized, they had enough application from get go. Whereas, Windows 8 the biggest advantage (could have been) was to use all Windows software poool, which RT does not allow and instead asking programmers to create Metro specific applications. So question is how long will it be? 6 months? 1 year? No RT tablet that is announced thus far have neither FHD screen nor inductive pen capabilities i.e. lacking main selling features of Infinity or Galaxy Note 10.
My guess is by the time the Metro market matures, there will be so many more RT tablet with cheaper prices, and of course better specs. So personally, RT is a pass.
Windows 8 Pro
Samsung Ativ Smart Pro actually have phenomenal spec with FHD, pen support, and support for all windows applications. However, its battery life is mere 5 hours DVD playtime (Infinity claims 9.5 hours and in my real life use I get only 5-6 hours, so who knows what 5 hours really become). The weight is quite heavy.
At this point, I feel like if Samsung really releases P10 Android Tablet, that would be the one but given such recent release of Galaxy Note 10.1, new tablet won't probably come for at least 6 months.
Certainly interesting time for tablet.

I bought the TF101 a long time ago, and after reading about the tf700, I've come to the conclusion that Nvidia Tegra sucks. I still can't watch movies at full frame rates on my TF101. Also the whole I/O problem really annoys me. However, software wise, Asus rules. Fantastic support for the tf101. Also, from what I read Tegra 4 may change things.
I bought a Huawei U8800 about the same time as the TF101. Hardware was pretty good, especially for the price. Software (especially OS optimization and updates) was terrible to say the least.
I'm not sure which tablet I want to buy. If Asus was using a different (read: better) processor than the Tegra 3, there would be no question. But I felt kinda burned on the Tegra 2 and the I/O situation. If the mediapad is significantly cheaper, I may go that route.
Also, I don't really use custom roms and dev stuff, so I don't factor that in. However, from my experience with the U8800, China has a huge dev community, and The XDA developers are aware of it and borrow from and work with them. So you will get some decent dev community support with Huawei, not as much as with Asus though.
