Ramos W7 Android tablet, 5in+Capacitive touch or Witstech A81E 7in Resistive touch?

http://www.merimobiles.com/Ramos_W7_Capacitive_touchscreen_Android_Market_p/meri0377.htm
Only runs Cupcake though. And I'm not familiar with the Rockchip RK2808 at all.
http://www.merimobiles.com/Witstech_A81E_Android_2_2_Flash_10_1_App_Market_p/meri0306.htm
This one has a resistive touch screen, but runs Froyo and is powered by a Cortex A8 CPU.

personally, i think the witstech a81e looks the best. resistive touch isnt bad at all if done right (touch pro 2 prooved it to me). the fact that it comes with 2.2 and the reviews support the fact that it works makes it a much more interesting product than the ramos tablet.
if i had $200 to throw, i would go with that one. and thanks for pointing these tablets out too. i haven't seen much on the news sources about this market yet. glad to know its getting bigger.
EDIT: oh, and obvious point of worth: Kick Stand built in. that is an auto-buy to me.

The Ramos is much more awesome seriously.

I bought an A81E, can't wait to get it. The resistive TS seems pretty good, for resistive.
Advantages over the W7:
kickstand
removable battery
matte screen
cortex a8, so waaay faster than the rk2808 (see http://mp4nation.net/blog/2010/08/4-way-mid-browser-speed-showdown/)
disadvantages:
larger, not pocketable
resistive
lower DPI (same res)
smaller internal storage

Okay but I find ramos awesome because:
The looks - it's like futuristic grid-computing tablet with 8exaflops FPU It looks better then anything Apple ever designed
It's great as MID - it's so thin! And fits in pocket!
And at last - it's AWESOME as entertaiment machine! It's CPU is still quite good at 3D! And movies? AWESOOOME!

Well, its a tablet, not really designed to be pocketable.
I'm tempted by the A81E myself, but I'm not sure there's any development going on for it, root access, custom firmwares, etc. Seems like it might be a good device for some community love, more so than something like the Augen GenTouch which could be completely discontinued before too long.

It's still fairly quiet right now, but once people start getting the MIDnite version from MP4nation I think it will get quite a bit more popular.
I'm planning to do a video review to get the word out there

When's it arrive? I get paid in a day or two, still on the fence. Has the A81E been rooted? Haven't really been following tablets much, first got interested when I heard there was a CM flavor coming for the Augen Gentouch, but the Witstech device looks like a much better gadget. On paper at least.

I am also thinking about getting the A81E, I get paid on thursday, so thats when I will be ordering it. Is anybody working on this device on the rooting and custom Roms front?

Thats what I want to know. Doubt we'll see much serious development of Android tablets until the first tier vendors, Asus, MSI, Samsung, etc, launch their higher end devices.
If I were to order an A81E on 18 Aug, think it would arrive before 1 Sept?

I've found that the A81E has a PowerVR SGX GPU that can do 10MPoly/s so it'll be like a little bit faster iPhone 3g in 3d gaming.

so not that fast 4 me so far, 7 days from order date w/ no weekends included. kinda wish it be faster cuz my bday was last sat. this was my present 2 myself. even if i could find tracking of it, i be happy
maybe you want 2 check out jt shop? heard of fast shippment from them on slatedroid.com not sure where you at, euro, us, other? they say 3-5 days shipping but proccesing can take 2-4 days and even that isnt really reliable
slatedroid site does have 1 or 2 customs,roms, on there. dont know if thaat roots it? or if there is even to do it w/out the custom rom? still a baby when it comes 2 android. keep you informed on when i receive it

Thanks for the link. I think I will order one later today. Should be fun to play with. Not sure if I care about having GPS or not.

Check out JT Shop, its $200 with GPS and includes a free extra battery (usually $10 plus postage), looked the best deal to me!

Looking into this tablet

Hey guys, i was wondering what you guess as a group think of this tablet, is it bad? would you change to something else? What are the current issues? Are they fixable? The normal questions.

i have absolutely no problems with mine and am loving it. the development community is great and they are putting in allot of hard work to get really great features. ASUS sends out firmware updates often and keeps them opensource which is really nice. If you do go to get one try to get a model that says B60 it seems to have the least problems. If you get a B70 there is about a 50/50 chance you wont be able to root because of some changes asus made. Most if not all of the issues people reported in the early shipments have been fixed. you may have some lightbleed but that is pretty much standard on all tablets.

may i ask how to and where to look for the B60/70 number at?

should say it on the box near the serial/model number
i'm also quite happy with the tablet, the dock makes it a very viable netbook replacement for me, the (so far) consistent updates from asus are a welcome change from samsung's poor support. the only small gripes i have with it are more related to honeycomb's unfinished/rushed/beta state, but i'm hoping those issues will be rectified in ICS.

I love it but frankly if you won't use the keyboard dock extensively, I recommend the tab 10.1

On the Box. it will be the beginning characters of the serial number.

I do think the best feature of this tablet is that it has a dock.. makes it a good netbook replacement (or so I'd think, only had a laptop before this!).
In terms of computing ability, it's probably at, or slightly better than my laptop, since my laptop is pretty damn old in technological terms (3 or 4 years old, so like 10 technological generations ago!).
I do miss some things on the TF. Netflix (which I'm going to root and use, once I feel ready to void my warranty), the ability to play one stupidly addicting game, and programming environments. Actually, it'd be awesome if there was an app for G-code/Labview/MatLab, but I guess I could always root and get ubuntu for those.

thanks guys! im still looking into tablets. My spending limit is 400 so this one looks to be the best out there right now.

Super: I've had a Xoom and a Tab and now the TF. For the money you will not find a better tablet. Very functional tablet and you couldn't ask for better developer support than the TF has. This tablet is a winner.

thanks! i am getting this one tommorrow as far as i know, and i know to look for B60 as will in the serial on the box. If it is B70 ill still get it if thats the last one they have. As far as storage goes i think the 16 gig will be PLENTLY for me, if not i have a 8 gig SD card.

TF201 vs TF700, benefits of the switch?

I just caught wind of the generosity from Bestbuy in allowing users to return the TF201's under manufacturer defect. So I am contemplating my move.
is the TF700 the way to go? Or is there a better option at the same price point? I definitely dont want iOS so ill be sticking with Android, just not sure which device to push for in exchange, assuming they allow me to switch.
I see some people talking about the Note 10.1, how does that compare to these TF's?
Thanks for helping me
PS if it makes any difference, I would like to eventually Root and play with ROM's

Definitely worth the switch. I had to go to two Best Buys to make it happen (kinda my own fault), but I'm definitely happy that I did. Runs better, feels better. Go for it.

T33 vs T30

The default clock speed is 1.6Ghz on the Infinity in Performance mode. I will agree that GPS is better, and obviously better screen resolution. However I notice quite a bit of stutter/lag while navigating through menus and switching apps. Hoping Jelly Bean or another OTA update will help.

There is currently a rom (Zeus v3.0) that greatly improves the TF700's performance. You don't have to suffer.

totally agree with you. glad I went from my TF201 to my TF700T. Not looking back.

+1 for the comment about Screen,GPS, WiFi and Speed. I did mine and have been very happy. As for the stutter and lag, I don't do a lot of gaming on mine, but I have not seen any of those problems.
As for the need to use a custom ROM, with my TF201 I finally put AndroWook on it and said "Oh, this is how this is supposed to perform," I have been running the Stock ROM, rooted with the basic Performance Tweaks (frozen apps in TiBu and some build.prop edits) and do not always feel like I am still handicapped.

Fantastic feedback, thank you everyone

Uhh. The WiFi and GPS also work. Some people might find one or both of those useful. LOL.

I was one of the few who were actually happy with my Prime. The wifi worked fine and the GPS didn't bother me since I never used it. The only reason I sold it and got the Infinity was because I could not re-unlock my Prime after RMAing for a broken HDMI port. For me, the only thing better on the Infinity is the screen, and although it is a really nice feature it is not worth it for that alone in my opinion. Overall, my experience with the Infinity has been the same as with the Prime (minus the development, which I hope will pick up soon).
If you are happy with your Prime I would stick with it. If you fancy a change or feel like spending some $$ then the Infinity is a good choice. Like the Prime it is a solid tablet that offers a really nice user experience.
Edit: I forgot to mention the 'speed' issue. In every day use the Infinity and Prime are equally as speedy as one another in my opinion. I would say that the Infinity's superior processing power is sucked up by keeping all of those extra pixels going...

Actually, my last post was just a little sarcastic, I had a similar experience with the Prime (liked it, did not call for ASUS' head, etc). The Prime is a pretty awesome tablet and the Infinity is really just an evolutionary upgrade, when you can secure working unit with decent WiFi the Prime is still pretty cutting edge. And some of the custom ROMs make the 201 very sweet, indeed.
But that said, my GPS was DOA and the WiFi was merely "acceptable" (but not near the Infinity which I would class as being actually good).
Since like me, the OP is basically looking @ a $0 upgrade via a return, in my experience, the "upgrade" was well worth the five minutes of effort and had no real downside ESPECIALLY if you like the Prime, IMHO!

Got it lol. I would do the same if it cost me nothing . My infinity cost me about $150 after selling my prime on CL. Bought my infinity at Bestbuy - lesson learnt

Made the switch today, came home and rooted+unlocked. Now im seeing all these issues and hoping my tablet is good! LOL
One change i noticed was the MicroSD card no longer protrudes from the device!!! Everyone who picked up my device immediately would push on my memory chip thinking it was a power button.
On the TF700 it is perfectly flush with the device, sweet!!
Bad news for me, i rooted specifically to run GameCIH to manipulate games. Now im rooted and see GameCIH is not even supported by this tablet. Fan-fvckin-tastic! LOL
otherwise very happy so far.

I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I kept the tf201. It was a dud from day 1 and Asus knew it.

Amazon Refunded My Prime
I just spoke with Amazon this morning and they've agreed (without any hassle) to refund the money I paid for my TFP. I bought it in December 2011 and received it in late January. I worked pretty well but lately I was having a lot of issues with dropped wi-fi connections.
Anyway, I've decided to pick up the TF700T and use my Prime keyboard with it. My question is: Can you use the GPS dongle that Asus sent the Prime users on the TF700T. If so, is there any difference in the GPS sensitivity?
Thanks,

I dunno maybe... But the infinity's GPS is pretty good all by itself, picked up satellites pretty fast even indoors (first floor of a second story house with metal roof and 4 feet from the window.

[Q] Which ASUS tablet?

I'm looking to get an ASUS tablet but with all the different models I'm looking for input from you guys that are rooted and running custom roms.
I'm a cellphone guy and this will be my first tablet. I'm not looking to get some pile that I'm going to be pissed off about because I can't do this or that.
I don't really have a "need" since I'm just looking for something to hack on...(root, roms, customization, web browsing..running benchmarks because I like looking at the speed, OC'ing... ya know the normal nerd shiz.
The "tinkering" is what I like, probably the same as alot of you guys, just trying new things on it and that stuff...just like my S3.
I'm looking at the tf700t right now for $300 used. I can't really find the difference with the "t" specification on the end..?
Which model should i be interested in if this isn't the "one?"
Am I going to be happy with this, being able to root and flash roms?
Is this the one with the plastic piece/bezel on the top so the GPS actually works decent?
Are these speedy or are they piles of crap?
Is $300 a decent price?
Would you go with Google Nexus 10 instead?
I
Is this the tf700t? removed
is that one above the same as this one?
removed
Hard to tell for me since I never handled these guys.
Well Thanks for your help, if you think I'm missing the boat here and should go with a different tablet, let me know. I like the ASUS look, but not set in stone on it. I see some people saying they regret buying their ASUS tab and wish they went with the Nexus10. I like the Nexus10 too.

The first one is not the same as the second, the first one was the model before called the transformer prime, that one was removed from stores within about 6 months. I advise you to stay away from that one. The one on the bottom is the transformer infinity the one that is the better one. I have mine rooted and unlocked with cleanrom 2.4 and clemsyns 1.9 kernal. Boy can I say that its a sweet device now, stock it was okay but now its amazing. I would totally get it with the price of 350$.
This tablet has some advantages over the nexus 10 too.
Transformer Infinity's (TF700T) Advantages:
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has a dock that you can always connect to for extra battery life along with more ports.
Development is stronger AT THE MOMENT for this tablet.
For 350$ you can get 32 gigs of storage.
Nexus 10s advantages:
Better processor inside.
Better screen resolution.
Better support from manufacturer.
Disadvantages:
No micro SD card slot.
No docking station that adds battery life.
400$ only gets you 16 gbs of memory.
Not a lot known about this tablet yet to judge how great it really is or can be.
Hope this helps you out a little.

How does the n10 have better support? Asus is considered to be the best. Even if the n10 is a nexus, it's made by Samsung, considered to be the worst...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T

Because its a google product so logically google is going to release all of its updates and support quicker then any other device period. Dont get me wrong Asus has some awesome support.

Thanks guys.
I agree with the advantages over the Nexus tablet. I like the expandable storage. Plus 32gb for the price is great.
The resolution is better on the N10 but, really, I'm not a huge freak about that.
I'm sure the resolution is great and it has IPS mode right? I've heard good things about that.
I thought I'd be missing NFC, but in reality, it's a novelty to me, wow cool, ok move on. I've used it like 4 times on my S3, only because i bought a bunch of the tiles. They are in a drawer somewhere. Useless.
The dock looks pretty decent, kinda pricey but, i'll find a used one.
The infinity has USB OTG right? I'm assuming it does.
The processor difference between the N10 isn't that great and I don't really do anything that requires that much power..besides wow'ing myself with benchmarks, so i think it will be fine.
I'm not too worried about the updates since I won't be stock ever. I'm sure we'll be at 4.2 within no time if isn't already.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try to score the infinity off craigslist right now. I'll let you know what I think.

One last question..
The "gold" grey" models is referring to the actual color right or am I retarded? or both?

The resolution on the infinity still wows me though, its a nice looking tablet regardless. Sadly the infinity doesnt have USB on it however there is an adapter that plugs into your charger port to give you that support.
I have to agree that the dock is sweet but pricey, I personally dont own one yet and am patiently waiting for a Ubutu port before I make any further purchases.
Yeah the benchmarks on this thing are crazy if you do some tweaking, I will attach a pic with my benchmark on this post. It is pretty good.
Just make sure that it is indeed the infinity as the post says the transformer prime which is different then the transformer infinity. If the guy has the box the box should say infinity. Good luck man!
EDIT:Yes that is referring to is color not a stupid question either lol.

The resolution on the infinity still wows me though, its a nice looking tablet regardless. Sadly the infinity doesnt have USB on it however there is an adapter that plugs into your charger port to give you that support.

The dock has a USB port and a full-sized SD card slot.

Because its a google product so logically google is going to release all of its updates and support quicker then any other device period. Dont get me wrong Asus has some awesome support.

Except it's still Samsung.... updates still have to go through the original OEM... So if the oem sucks, so will update. Look at the galaxy nexus as an example...

I guess that's true I just don't see them releasing updates for other tablets before their own.

No, it’s a Nexus device the software will be updated by Google. The OEM means nothing.

So far so good. I really haven't played with it, been busy with some other stuff but i'm glad i got it over the n7 or n10 even.
Once I root/rom i'll let you know, stock isn't what i like on anything.
Thanks for asking though!!

Congrats on the Infinity purchase!! You'll love it! Better choice than the N10 in my opinion. I had the Prime, then bought the Infinity when it was released and my girlfriend got the Prime. The only thing about the N10 that excites me is that GameLoft and EA said they are going to support it with their games. So that means the Infinity will get support too with its high res display!! Bonus!!!

Thats good that your liking it man, once you root it and get that custom rom on it you will be amazed believe me. I only have one complaint about the tablet and its the my left side of my screen creeks but other then that I dont have any of the other problems people are complaining about.
Yes!! Finally gameloft will support this beast of a device!

As an Infinity owner I would have gone to Nexus 10. It is so much better device than this.
Just saw a video where some guy had opened 6 3D games and was multitasking and playing fluently those games. You just can't do that with this tablet. This will die under 2 games already.

Looking for the best BUDGET tablet

I want the BEST deal possible
I want the most bang for my buck
perhaps an up and coming release
or the most popular tablet already available.
I have nothing but time and the first tablet i bought was an ipad and it was super cheap due to an amazing deal.
I've done a lot of research of my own and this is my final step, I'm hoping the -always smart- people on here can help a brother out.

Nexus 7 by a billion gazillion miles. 1080p screen, serviceable dual cameras, immediate updates, quad core GPU, stereo speakers.
Or maybe the N10? The new one isn't here yet, so you should prolly wait a little.
Currently, nobody can beat Apple at tablets, though. Just my opinion. Seems there are more apps that are optimized for the large screen.

lol i was JUST watching this
http://cnettv.cnet.com/8301-13484_5...efight-google-new-nexus-7-vs-apple-ipad-mini/
thanx to this video -that comes off fairly biased- Ive been doing more and more research on the nexus.
my problem with the nexus is it`s date. technology is always being updated and I would be choked if a month passed and the next best thing gets released.

For $230, you can't expect something like that to be future-proofed. What you could do is sell your old device in an emerging market, where the demand is high and supply low, and use that extra cash to upgrade frequently. But the N7 def has more to it than just the hardware. It is as close as you can get to the stock experience, so there is very little lag. And there is longer support by Google. It gets a lot of dev attention. It is also very cheap.
Seriously, if you want a good deal, the N7 is the way to go.

NOTHING better then this?
I may even pick the bugger up 2marrow.
or perhaps I'm looking for a tablet? I'm not sure if a mini tablet is whats best for me.
Any suggestions for a good cheap normal tablet?

You could wait for the Nexus 10. But yeah, there really isn't much selection as far as budget Android tablets (or any Android tablets) go.

Uhhh... you may want to think this through. While you do have a limited return period, it is best to read a good amount before investing in anything. Unless you have money to burn...

well technically i decided about 3 hours ago and have been doing none stop research. Everyones telling me nexus, i'm loving everything about nexus. 200+ dollars doesn't break the bank and i cannot find anything better.
I normally do tons of research, but i think this is an easy call right here.
took me litterely 2 months to pic out my ms g60 gaming laptop
however i was in china atm, so i probably could of chosen better, but in china that was an amazing deal.

alright
bed time, will check this thread in 7 hours.

Be sure to get the new N7 for that price by the way not the 2012 model.
