Guest hugobosslives Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) So I know this isn't exactly skate related but meh there's nothing on digilink that I can find on modaco and I know alot of skate users are interested in tablets so here goes.... So I was just aimlessly browning the web when I came across this new 8 inch ICS tablet that digilink say they will be giving a wholesale retail price of just 90-100 dollars which retailers will then sell for $120. Obviously the first thing I thought was it will be one of those Chinese hunk of crap tablets with a 1GHz A8 single core processor with crap build quality..... But here this out: 1.2GHz Boxchip A10 processor (dual core) Mali 400 GPU 512MB of RAM 4GB NAND flash storage 8-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen with 1024 x 768 pixels microSD card slot up to 32GB. 11.9mm thin 5600mAh battery Mini-USB Mini HDMI Camera: 2mp back and 0.3mp front (I know thats crap but I have never taken a picture on our hp touchpad. You only really need front on tablets for skype etc as you will have your phone for other shots) Check out a quick vid: (if no flash (i.e on phone) go to youtube and type in "digilink 8 inch" [media=] doesn't look to bad huh? No idea on availability so if anybody has any info please share. Got to say tho, this is the first time a cheap tablet has sort of interested me...... I think the model number is DI-807H but don't quote me on that.... Thoughts? Edited May 12, 2012 by hugobosslives
Guest the juggernaut Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 really good website for http://ipadalternative.com/ the high end ones aren't too expensive
Guest Redstarr1 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) 1024x768 isn't 720p (which is 1280x720). The screen has a 4:3 aspect ratio, so that's not very interesting for watching video's. And as you can see, there are quite a lot less pixels than with a 720p screen. Also, never heard of a "boxchip a10" processor (the successor of the Cortex A9 architecture is the A15). Some Google searching reveales it's actually a Cortex A8 chip, and I'd be very surprised if that's a dualcore, I don't find any trustworthy sites talking about A8 dualcores. So that makes this tablet not very different from other cheap Chinese tablets. Edited May 12, 2012 by Redstarr1

Guest tillaz Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 Looks good, $93 she said in the video... if that translated to about £65 and the reviews are good I might get my kids one
