Guest Lew247 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I was seriously considering getting one of these tablets until I read what the final specs will be like If it was £129 for the capacitive screen then yes it would be good value However today I spotted this - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/271191 Dual core 1Ghz tablet with 2.2 and capacitive screen for £169.97 Product Specifications General Product Type Tablet Width 26 cm Depth 1.39 cm Height 17 cm Weight 0.75 kg Display Display Type 10.1" TFT - Multi-Touch Display Resolution 1024 x 600 Memory RAM 512 MB - DDR2 SDRAM ROM 16 GB Supported Flash Memory Cards microSD, microSDHC Processor Processor Cortex-A9 Multi-Core Technology Dual-Core Communications Wireless Connectivity 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR Multimedia Functionality Supported Digital Video Formats MPEG-4, MPEG-1, WMV, MOV, H.264 Max Resolution (external) 1920 x 1080 Audio Microphone , speaker(s) Supported Digital Audio Formats MP3, WMA Input Device Type Touch-screen, action buttons Power Voltage Required AC 120/230 V Battery Technology / Form Factor Lithium polymer Capacity 3650 mAh Expansion / Connectivity Expansion Slot(s) 1 x microSDHC Interfaces 1 x audio / video - HDMI output - 19 pin mini HDMI Type C ¦ 1 x headphones - output - mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm ¦ 1 x USB - 4 pin mini-USB Type B Operating System / Software OS Provided Android 2.2 Software Clock, To Do List, Calendar, Contacts, E-mail, Browser, Music Player, E-Book Reader, Videos, Photos, Grocery List, News, Updates Miscellaneous Sensors Accelerometer, ambient light sensor, three-axis gyro sensor, magnetometer Features LED display, G-sensor, automatic orientation switching Included Accessories Power adapter Cables Included 1 x USB cable Compliant Standards FCC Class B certified, CE, UL, CB, RoHS, WEEE, REACH Environmental Standards ENERGY STAR Qualified Yes Environmental Parameters Min Operating Temperature 5 °C Max Operating Temperature 35 °C Humidity Range Operating 35 - 85% Min Storage Temperature -20 °C Max Storage Temperature 60 °C Unless that tablet is seriously rubbish Andypad cant compete against it... can it?

Guest RickD Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Review here: running 2.2 with a crap skin and unresponsive touch screen.... sigh. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ca/review/2079905/hannspree-hannspad-sn10t1-android-tablet
Guest Lew247 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 running 2.2 with a crap skin and unresponsive touch screen.... sigh. Look how slow and unresponsive the Blade was when it came out first, now it's one of the very best phones out there and gone from 1.1 to 2.3.4 I reckon if you let some of the devs at it, the Hanspree could be an excellent device.

I find it a massive waste of their pixels and my visual field - I know it's a widescreen TV hangover (and there's another bit of stupid, IMHO) but in my list of things to do with a Tablet, watching films is way down the list - browsing t'internet and gaming would be well above, neither of which are particularly more suited to 16:9 than 3:2 or 4:3, either of which would be preferable Ask Apple - they reputedly did loads of user research on the different ratios and came up with (i think) 4:3 (don't get me wrong, I dislike Apple kit as much as the next man, but they got this bit right I reckon) Anyway, back on topic - Hannspree - hasn't it been out a little too long with too little interest to be a contender? And that review was pretty damning. Why do tablet manufacturers release kit without Android Market? Foolish [/rant] Edited July 14, 2011 by The Soup Thief
Guest Lew247 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 How about an Lenovo 7" with 1Ghz cpu, Android 2.3 and capacitive screen for £125? http://bit.ly/riLUzh
Guest Simon O Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 How about an Lenovo 7" with 1Ghz cpu, Android 2.3 and capacitive screen for £125? http://bit.ly/riLUzh It won't be £125. No UK price has been announced and it'll be $199 in the USA excluding local taxes. I expect it to be around £179 in the UK including VAT. The Lenovo is lower spec that the AndyPad pro. 2Gb storage and 1GHz CPU vs 16Gb storage and 1.2GHz CPU with native 720p decoding? Rather have the AndyPad. Of course if the Lenovo was a Tegra2 then it would be excellent value.. but it's not :(

Guest unrandomsam Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 The Lenovo has a gps which makes it far more desirable. There is also the archos G9 (Coming soon) for about £200. If the andypad pro was £129 it might be worth it but not for £179.

Same one as ZTE blade. This would struggle with 3D gaming and definitely unable to do any HD or flash video. Screen res is too low as well at only 800x480. 3G is nice though.
