Android Tablets on Ebay! Ipad wannabe :)

Has anybody seen this
Ipad Looking Andropad
The price is pretty cheap and has HDMi output. The seller seems to have good reviews too. Unfortunately I don't have enough spare money to try this out. But if anybody here is interested
Lot of chinese companies have shown interest in ANDROID devices, so I guess this was coming.

If its running 1.6 how does it have, "Browser comes with Flash Lite version 3.1 and supports playback of SWF contents up to Flash 9 and ActionScript 2.0"
Isn't that what the Hero's browser has?
It does look like a good device though

mommy i know whaT i want for my birthday

Nice, though it's a rip-off and I would prefer a more expensive one that really has competitive hardware to the iPad.
Not sure I want Android on a Slate, though. I think I'll wait for the HP Slate, since I want to be productive on the thing.
But I would prefer this over an ebook reader.

Im looking for more of a tablet,not ebook reader..i'm not a fan of the clamshell-touchscreen shape..very odd device imo..
Also you guys should check out enso-now.com they sell the 'zenPad'..its a pretty cool 5'' android tablet starting at $155, you can add gps for $25 and it has decent hardware specs..

Does anybody know anything about the Rockchip processor in it? I read somewhere that it was an ARM9 processor. That would be pretty old and slow. Wikipedia says it's based on Cortex-A8.

I am placing an order for one of these this next week. I contacted a different seller and they said that there are a few different versions. I am getting one with all the specs on that page except 4 gig nand and 512 ram. Now hopefully someone that knows alot more than I do will start releasing roms for it so I can get it running the way my G1 is.

can you please post a link/price to the one you bought? I'd love to see custom roms for these...

the hard ware on the one i saw ( and want) it a 1.2ghz, sorry to bring up an old thread but has anyone got one of these thinking of getting either this the ipad rip off or the other fully white one

cool
Hi
I receive this tablet, that cool, but just under android 1.5. 2gb flash memory. Autonomy not very large with wifi, but with no wifi that cool. With mp3 active I listen music about 3 hours and I past 100 % to 70 %, that cool.
Now I would like to past to 1.6 or 2.1, seller says me that will arrive but when I do not know (like him...).
So if dev can give support, I take it.

You sound foreign. As if you are the seller of this crappy 7 inch tablet (from HK).
Are you trying to save face after another poster said that the processor was ancient?
Your also trying to see if someone will hack away and make this tablet Android 2.1.
Fat Chance.
This processor would choke on Droid 2.1.
Spammer

I put in an order for one of these yesterday, I'm definitely interested to see how well it preforms. If it is a fairly obvious process I'll crack mine open and take some shots of the internals for you guys. I'm guessing it will take about 2 weeks shipping though so don't expect anything soon.
As for getting a newer kernel onto these I would happily offer any assistance I can.
I think the biggest issues for me are
Marketplace access
Video benchmarking (bitrates and container formats)
Uniformity of these devices. These are offered by a few hundred sellers under at least 4 names hopefully they all are identical hardware wise as it will make drivers easier to write.
slaming These have a 600MHz ARM core and a 550MHz DSP for video decoding. Some sellers are adding these together and rounding up to claim a 1.2GHz clock speed. Its an old and regrettable tactic.
arashed31 This is the product page for the Rockchip 2808 en.rock-chips.com/newEbiz1/EbizPortalFG/portal/html/ProductInfoExhibit.html?ProductInfoExhibit_ProductID=c373e9216b8b10d58f7e977394a65d1d&ProductInfoExhibit_isRefreshParent=false
Sorry can't post links my account isn't verified
Also mattrb you really need to take a chill pill "You sound foreign. As if you are the seller of this crappy 7 inch tablet (from HK)." is just about the most bigoted thing I've heard this week. The guy was being helpful telling you his experiences with battery endurance and you insult him, don't be childish.

BTW a little more info about the Rockchip 2808. From the research I have done it looks like this chip is based around the arm926 core. It isn't the fastest thing out there but it gets the job done. If the Rockchip version has onchip cache it should be quite decent indeed. Supposedly this core produces 220MIPs at 200MHz in the stock configuration so we should expect roughly 660MIPs at 600MHz. For comparison a Motorola Droid is based on the Cortex A8 at 600MHz which makes about 1200MIPs. The actual iPad uses the Cortex A9 core clocked at 1Ghz and produces about 2500MIPs (surely as we are without all of apple's crappy code we will have a serious advantage ). Also I have seen a few notes about a this chip being used in some devices at 886Mhz (google the Tongfang-q5). I doubt that there are different versions of the chip produced and I doubt even more the manufacturer would be overclocking the chip without some testing that it remained reliable. Hopefully this means we can squeeze some more cycles out of these tablets. This will obviously be at the expense of battery life and to some degree longevity. But at this price who cares *lmao*.
A little update: I confirmed that the Rockchip 2808 is a licensed ARM926EJ-S derivative wwwdotarm.com/community/partners/display_product/rw/ProductId/4010/ stupid link blocking
Second update: I just started a wikipedia page for the rockchip family. Any info you can provide would be most helpful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip

Let us know how well it works. I might get one just to show off ppls with ipad.

White slate
I bought the white slaie (M001) yesterday. Spent around 60 minutes on it so far. I have a few isues, but hopefully tonight I will download and insdtall updated software. For 150.00, can't complain. That is what my ereader cost me in Dec, which I will probably now sell.

is this:

the same thing you guys are talking about?
If so £70 (price & delivery) seems ludicrously cheap. At that price even if it's not brilliant it's got to be worth it right?

eLocity A10 - Tegra 2, IPS Screen - Good Price - Will it show love?

If the screen beats out the GTablet I will jump ship... Im wanting to love the GTablet but the screen is killing me from using it as an eReader...
What do you guys think?
http://tabletconnect.blogspot.com/2011/02/elocity-a10-available-for-pre-order-215.html

I can't imagine an IPS not looking better. Pricing seems fair, the real question is will the development community get behind it?

I am definitely grabbing one of these when it comes out, with the Xoom pricing this tablet is definitely gonna sell well. Nice design, awesome IPS screen, you can't go wrong.

Yeah let us know. At least the manufacturer is in the US. And you can buy it from amazon, which to me is a good thing when trying out newer company products.
I'm in no kinda rush when choosing my next tablet. I can wait with my gtablet. I really want a mainstream tablet for my next device.

This company announced a crap load of 10 inch tablets with basically the same specs slated to drop in the next few months back at the beginning of January. What IS interesting about the announcement is that they boasted the tablets will have Honeycomb, not FroYo as this blog is reporting.
Here is the original article from Jan. 3rd.

PCWorld says it will be upgradeable to Honeycomb.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/216184/hands_on_with_the_streamtv_elocity_a10.html

When you can get a 10.1" IPS Tegra 2 tablet for within $50 of the price of a G Tablet, and it's unlocked and as hackable as the G Tablet, I think you'll see quite a few developers move over to it, yeah. I know I will. IPS screen is the only thing I really miss on the G Tablet.

Yeah, with HD res! Guess my girl gets the GTab!
Although this is year of the tablet so I could always wait.

Good gravy! Look at the size of the bezel on that thing.
I don't have any serious issues with the screen on my GTab, but I'm not using it as an e-reader, either.

That looks sweet!!! I really liked the Gtab but the damn viewing angles of the screen killed it for me. I picked it up for $379 at office depot which is a good deal but I would have no issue paying $50 to $100 more for one with a better screen

I have two manufacturing sample Windows 7 tablets that are 10", everything is the same Atom N455 CPU and 2GB ram, only difference is the screen, first one has a 1024x600 and the other has an IPS screen with a 1366x768 resolution and I can tell you that the difference is night and day when you have them next to each other, the IPS screen blows away the other screen, colours are more vibrant and everything just looks a lot crisper. Can't wait for this to get released. Only thing I don't like about this eLocity A10 is the ram, would be nice if they threw in 1GB of RAM.

Just speaking for myself, I did a lot of research before I got my gtab, and the thing that finally made the deal was the amount of Dev activity, so, if I was going to get another tablet, I'll go where they go .
How many other tegra-based tabs are there that have >4 roms available plus multiple kernels?
Then again I'm probably one of the few users who don't have any probs w the screen, so not sure I need another one for awhile....
Jim

We Should see if Screens are compatable with gtab so we could get an ips too.

This looks like a sweet tablet, but the A7 had bad battery life. That will be something to watch for.

I love the gtab, and think aesthetically the A10 pictures are kinda blocky and big bezeled.

I'm still a little wary of the Elocity brand in general due to the issues that the A7 owners have had.
However..... if they manage to get a 10 inch Tegra 2 device with an IPS screen released (stress "released") I am definitely interested. I refuse to buy another tablet without an IPS screen, or similar.
It's a Tegra - even if I don't like their firmware, I might be able to port TnT Lite to it.

I have an eLocity A7 and can tell you there support sucks... actually more like non-existent. Have sent then three e-mails with not response going back over a month now. Called their support line and was told the Tech Support Dept would get back to me with in 2 working days... it been a month and I haven't heard a word.
I would have to agree the bezel on the A10 looks HUGE, but I might be able to live with it. Their tech support so far has me thinking I should look elsewhere for future products.

I think toshiba's tablet will do well once its out, assuming the price isn't at Xoom levels.
http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/
Removable battery, FULL SD Card, Honeycomb...

One of the things I'd like to know before I consider it, does this have full multi-touch? One of the things about the A7 that people hated was that it was listed as multi-touch but it was really only 1+1 touch, so pinch to zoom would work but it's not full multitouch. I would think for pre 3.0 this would be ok for some people but full multi-touch would be crucial for 3.0.
Edit: Did some searching. Mytabletlife.com was at CES and said that it was full/true multitouch unlike current elocity A7. REALLY interested in this now.
For those that would like to see a preview from CES, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_w_0XSg53s&feature=player_embedded

The 64gb version seems to make the Xoom seem even MORE ridiculous with its $800 price.
Hmmmm. Which to choose? A device that has 64gb and not locked down for $700, or a device that has 32gb and $800 with wifi blocked for data packages.
Which to choose?????

What Tablet should I get?

Hi all,
First let me say I want to stay away from the iPad. After getting royally burned with the 4.0 iOS upgrade on my iPhone 3G and now having to live with the degraded performance on it and lack of future support past 4.2, I doubt I'll ever buy another apple product. I was never one to drink their cool-aid anyway.
But now to the question at hand. What Tablet should I buy?
The main reason for the purchase is so I can watch videos without having to drag out my laptop. I don't want to have to convert the video to be able to play it. I just want to watch 350Mb/1.1Gb TV shows on it without having to worry about planning ahead of time.
Ideally, I would like GPS capabilities on it. 3G is not really required, I can tether it to my phone (i have a plan for that) or will be using it in areas where wifi is available.
I've been looking at a few tablets, namely the Motorolla Xoom and the Viewsonic Viewpad 10. The Xoom seemed like a nice enough device, especially with honeycomb, but it seems to have issues with HD video. The reason I picked the viewpad 10 was for Windows 7, but android 1.6 and the little disk space available left on it after windows installation makes me wonder how effective it will be as a tablet. Having windows 7 on a tablet would be amazing. I would love the flexibility it would afford on the tablet.
So does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

Do you want to have 7" or 10" ?
For watching Video it will be better with 10".
How about Galaxy Tab 10" ? It's honeycomb and very light.

I am running the Acer A500 right now and am very impressed. It got some poor reviews compared to the Asus Transformer in terms of the battery life and screen quality... I have been off the charger for almost 15 hours, watched an entire episode of Stargate: Universe (streaming btw), a few hours of web browsing casually, a few rounds of Let's Play Golf, and of course the good old forums and I am still at 40%. Pretty damn good I think. Tablet and Win7 really is a cumbersome ui and the battery life terrible there (I own one). Honeycomb has quite a few MINOR bugs to work out, but I am only considering the Asus if the screen is really a lot better. Just my opinion but ihth

*edit* *edit* *edit*

depends what you want to do with it, first 7 or 10 inch
If you say seven and don't mind messing around with a tablet and enjoy rooting and modding the nookcolor is nice and a lot of fun. that being said if you want working honeycomb out of the box look elsewhere. Also the nook tablet won't be as smooth as it's not a dual core or anything like that, but i still love mine.

If your TV rips are 24p (and most of them probaly are) then they will not play smoothly on the G-Slate at the moment.
Tegra-2 does not do advanced profile, so if your rips are from the net they will most likely not play well and require re-encoding. Tegra2 does not do 8x8 transforms, cabac or p-frames all of which are generally used in "scene rips."

Post 1 of 10 for posting on dev thread

I'd have to agree with Skyfox99 on the newer Acer recommendation, or if you're ok with waiting a bit, the HTC Flyer looks pretty good too.
Sadly, the i-Devices have the fastest graphics processing at the moment, but soon there's going to be new chips released to top it again.

I did forget to mention it, but I was looking at 10" Tablets.
I was digging around a little after I posted this and did see the Acer A500 and the transformer. Both seemed to be great machines. I was actually aiming for the 16GB transformer. 16GB would be plenty and would only cost about 400$ plus tax and S&H, and I can always add a MicroSD.
I'm in Canada though, and it seems both the A500 and Transformer are either unavailable as of yet or back-order. But I'm willing to wait for those since the price seems to be right and so far I'm reading positive reviews.
I've read about the Tegra not being the best at doing video, another reason why I was looking at the viewpad 10 that has an atom cpu.
I dont mind putting down 300-400$ on a tablet, as long as it does what I want from it.
Thanks for all the answers so far!

wait for sony s1 and s2!

buy iPad 2

A friend of mine got the XOOM and he was happy with it for a couple of days. When it comes to productivity the Xoom doesn't really stand out. It's really just a enhanced version of a phone without the calls if you get the wifi only version. He returned it a week later for a refund and is getting a Ipad 2.

I think Samsung Galaxt Tab2 is a good choice.

I'd recommend WeTab with MeeGo

If I had the money: ipad 2 because of Netflix support.
But for affordability: Asus

Palms new tablet looks pretty cool, but is only if you are rockin a pre 3 with it because of the touch to share innovation.

I agree with groe. The new Palm or should I say HP tablet looks pretty beastly, with the Pre3 along side it that is. Otherwise I'd say go iPad 2.

Persoanlly i wouldn't get any right now since they're all coming out with tegra 2. And as stated before, tegra doesn't do very well with high profile videos/real HD videos. But if I had to, I'd get the Asus transformer since I fancy the lappy dock. But we all know how "limited" in supply it is. =.=

Galaxy Tab

I would get the Asus with the tegra 3 cpu... yum!

[Q] What should I choose? Archos 80 G9 or ASUS Transformer?

Hello guys,
I am planning to get an Android tablet somewhere in the fourth quarter of this year (Christmas most likely).
I wanna originally wait for ASUS Transformer with the 3G....but...just this morning I found a new tablet from Archos which called Archos 80 G9.
www.archos.com/products/gen9/index.html?country=gb&lang=en
If I look at the price, I tend to choose Archos but ...I wanna know what you guys think first before deciding....I know, I know.... it is still quite some time till Christmas but I am too excited (My pocket must wait till Christmas, that is the problem)...

Hey, I also just discovered this tablet and I have the same questions. The specs on this tablet sound too good to be true. And the price is ridiculous. I done some reading, and only main issue some people have is Archos record of durability. $280 is not a bad gamble if you have 1 year warranty.
My only other question is how much ram? I can't find that anywhere. If it's 1 gig, I think I'm sold.

Archos has historically used components that seem great on paper, but are sub par in quality. For example, they may claim to have an equivalent resolution screen, but chances are it is from a very cheap manufacturer, and performs at significantly lower levels (bad viewing angles, bad refresh rate, low brightness, etc). This "Equal in name, not performance" phenomenon seems to plague most of their products. It is not surprising that their component quality is lower given the price point.
However, it is 100% possible that this represents a complete shift from their previous trends. I recommend waiting for reviews from places like Gizmodo and This Is My Next before you pull the trigger either way.

@Animus_3.0 : Yes the RAM is 1 GB and here where I live, I usually get 2 years warranty for almost everything I bought, so I believe it will have the same 2 years warranty too.
@BananaPhone69 : That is what I am afraid of with such a price for such specs, bad quality product. I agree, it is still better to wait for the review.

BTW: If anyone has some experience using Archos products especially the previous tablets, please do share your experience...This 80 G9 could be my first Archos device ever.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

The screen is made of plastic not ape glass, this could be an advantage since it is lighter and won't brake so easily but it could also be a disanvantage since it can be scratched easily.
Hmmm....according to the preview on slashgear, the UI is not so smooth and the apps crash very often...this could be a big down side, if those bugs can also be found after release.. I hope they can fix them.
About the different RAM versions, I will just have to take a better look before buying.... man the price is really tempting

Hm... I was almost sold on a Viewpad 10s for its great community support and tempting price of 249EUR inkl. docking station and then discovered the Archos 101 G9 having the following advantages over the Advent Vega/Viewpad/Mobii units:
- way better CPU (+0.5GHz, NEON)
- more RAM (+512MB)
- more vertical resolution (800 instead of 600px, I don't like widescreen at all but 800 is a big improvement for me over 600px)
- easy and affordable 3G upgrade which also serves as a 3G USB modem for laptops
- probably better build quality (according to comparative reviews of the 101 and the Viewpad 10s)
- better viewing angles (according to hands on previews on youtube)
- Honeycomb included, no need to void warranty with custom ROMs
- built-in stand, no docking station needed to carry around when on the way
The only I concern I have atm: how stable will the stock OS be and will there be improved custom ROMs...
Opinions?

Yes. I also want to know how is the OS stability and smoothness of Archos 80 G9..and also Archos tablets/products durability in general, because I have never had any Archos products until now.
I am hoping someone in this forum can say several words regarding the durability first, since the G9 is not yet available in the market and no one has really tested it.
so...I could really use your comment on the durability term, based on your previous Archos experiences...please

You'll find a G9 discussion with great infos here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137524

Thank you for the info. I will check your link right away.

I've had the Archos 80 G9 for a week now and am loving it. Value for money it is excellent, the Honeycomb UI is sleek and responsive and I haven't really had any problems with it. Battery life is excellent.
I particularly like the size, it is great for two thumb typing when in portrait mode.
Here are some images of the Archos 80 G9 next to an iPad 2 to give you an idea of the size: http://www.todoleo.com/2011/10/archos-80-g9-with-apple-ipad-2.html
Feel free to ask any more questions.

Wait for the new tegra3 transformer prime instead

Can you play downloaded 720p MKVs? My Asus transfer could not without re-encoding. I have a Nook Color and had an Asus Transformer. 7" was to small for an everyday tablet and 10" was too big to read in bed at night. Im thinking a 8 or 9" might be better.

I bought a 80G9 Turbo with HDD, and I think I love it.
I put a lot of books and videos on the HDD. I always take it with me when I go on holidays.
It's not the last product, but, I think, a very very good product.

Also you can attach a Harddisk or an external Wired Network adapter to the 3G usb-port on the rear. I used this during trade shows.

New 7" Tablet from china

First Tablet witch ICS
With new processor and GPU. and its cost only $99
http://www.ainovo.com/

The Novo7 operates on a 1GHz MIPS-based XBurst CPU and comes incorporated with the Vivante GC860 GPU that is responsible for offering 3D graphics. Boasting of Google CTS certification, it is equipped with a 7-inch capacitive multi-touchscreen display. This slab is capable of lending support to connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3 and microSD.
Not bad for 99 bucks, might buy one

Mhh i might give it a try. Decent h/w for a nice price... <3

I am interested as well, but I may wait to see what kind of development it gets before buying....

its all sold out when i tried to buy one.
I can't wait to get my hands on one. I would buy more for my relatives if it work w/o any lag & i hope some devs get their hands on some too.

Guess I was right on time. Ordered one 2 days back. Said it will take 2 weeks before they'll start shipping. They hope it will reach me before christmas.
Screen sucks from what I've read (crappy resolution) but if I look at novo7 reviews with gingerbread on it on youtube, device looks fast and everything works.
I'll only be using it on the go and while i'm in the library studying so its perfect for me, webbrowsing and games.
And it has a microsd card slot. Perfect when I take pictures with my camera and put it in if I'm somewhere even though the resolution is not that great.

My employer is selling $99 tablets with Gingerbread, and possibly 800Mhz processors...the only saving grace is their capacitive screens.
Next up, $200 outdated resistive-screened Coby, 800Mhz, no GPU. Better? $250 Coby, 1Ghz no GPU and a VGA webcam...rejoice.
This tablet is like a bolt out of the blue for awesomeness. Thank you XDA.

Lets hope lots of devs will be able to get their hands on them. I think I'm going to wait until the 8" or 10" to come out before getting one. But, I'll probably buy my two nieces one each so they won't be fighting over one.

I finally received mine today Time to unpack it

How to i get support if i buy this tablet. will i get support from india?

I'd like to know more about this tablet. For all of you who have it: Is it worth the buy?

Ok don't be angry . I'm gonna sell it, I just had a quick look at the device to see if everything worked before selling it.
I looked round the internet and found out that the tablet is basically a regular Novo 7 tablet only with android 4.0 installed.
Then I read that the sourcecode for the regular gingerbread Novo 7 tablets has been released and they're expecting a 4.0 update.
Having paid 120 euros incl. shipping for the device and seeing that I can get the regular gingerbread Novo 7 for way cheaper, I decided to sell the device and will wait and see what the future brings.
Untill then guess its back using my HP Touchpad.
What I noticed in the 1 minute I used the device. Fast opening video and photos. Screen resolution is indeed low but actually looks better then I expected. I could see details in the photos and they looked good.
The Device itself felt great. Perfect size, not heavy. The white back looks awesome.
It actually doesnt look/feel cheap at all.
I guess overall the device is really awesome, only downside is the screen but if you can live with a normal screen instead of a supersharp screen then you should definitely get one.

So, my new Novo 7 Paladin arrived at my door about an hour ago. I live in Shanghai, so I ordered online yesterday & it arrived today.
Price was 499 RMB (or around $79 USD ), and seller paid shipping charges. Pretty amazing deal. Many sellers at that price online in China...check this link here...
I've spent maybe 30 minutes or so playing with it...
- It came with Android 4.0 installed as advertised. This is my first exposure to the new OS, so I'm still getting used to it.
- The device came with a bunch of Chinese apps & several games preloaded (a bunch of which I've already uninstalled).
- Wi-Fi fired right up & was online in moments...no problems
- It seems like a simple, solid device...not flashy by any means, but I'm not sure what more you could expect at this price point.
- I haven't tried any movies or music yet...I'm charging it up right now & will play with it more later.
