7" Android Tablet - eBay (1 Viewer)

[Savvy]

Hi all,

Has anyone used iPiMP (great name BTW) with one of these toys from china?

Google Android 7" Netbook Tablet PC UMPC MID 1.2GHZ on eBay (end time 21-Jun-10 00:00:56 BST)


Can't really afford an ipad but would love to have a touch screen remote control!

Current setup is a stand alone media/tv server and 3x clients

If anyone has a similar setup, a few pics or a vid would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Savvy,

Looks like you're going to have to bite the bullet and be the first to get one and see if it's up to the job..... Let us know how it goes.

I doubt that is true 1200Mhz CPU, it looks like a cheap $100USD (including P&P) tablet from dealextreme. I would ask for advice on an adroid forum before paying that much for a tablet that is non branded. It would be 600Mhz CPU or less (often they are underclocked), if you want to spend that much get one with rockchip cpu, if you go rockchip check out the threads on red vs blue, i can't remember which colour you are supposed to buy.

Writing a new plugin for this device should be fairly simple.
This item is exactly what i've been looking for as the touchscreen in my case is not as practical as I would have liked.

When I get one I will start on the plugin

the tablets i posed above are still pretty new spec, so they probably need a few more months to mature. eg. the only just added android to the wits a81 (prev it was running win ce), and it's still a little buggy. Now that they are running android on the a81 they might release a new version with accelerometer.
