Tywais Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 @ignis Rather then repeat myself in this topic will point to my post in the other tablet topic - Choosing a Tablet Very many thanks, somehow always get messed up trying the Search at the top, never can find what I know is there, or what I am sure would be there.. Actually I just posted that a few minutes ago so searching wouldn't helped for my update, specifically I pointed out the ASUS tf700 versus your request on the tf300. Very similar units, but the tf700 has a much higher resolution screen and not much more expensive then the tf300. And for cbrer I mentioned a Chinese tablet in that topic I got, Ainol Novo10 Hero 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 we have NEX 200 androids....4700bt I think. Fricking amazing...like you am a laptop guy with mouse and whatnot..touch screen takes a bit of getting used to. The NEX does everything you are looking for and then some. Thanks very much, I'll take a look for it in 9 inches, and see if it crosses off many of the things on my list. Specs look okay to me. But only seem to have 7 inches. Tablet - Android 4.0 - HDMI Player - wifi - จอขนาด 7 นิ้ว - แบต 3000 mA - Capacitive Touch - CPU 1.2 MHz - HDMI PORT 3,200b. And a good bit below my wish price of around 5,000. http://www.siamtopup.com/trade/nex.php Still have to check for my list of: Flash Google Play Dual core etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retoocs01 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 this one looks very good but doesn't seem to have a USB, which is vital for me. If the resolution (800x480) is correct, thats crap too low. All tablets have USB A8 Cortex@1500 Mhz => wishful thinking. 1000-1200 is realistic. No dual-core, but ok you get what you pay for The problem with this and similar websites is, they copied and pasted some specs from "somewhere". And the Nex 200 (look at the product picture), from this link: http://www.siamtopup.com/trade/nex.php is definetely running Android 2.3.x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Just back from Tesco-Lotus and wrote down the following from the specs sheet next to their tablets. 9 inch I-Mobile I-Note. TFT 16.7 colours. MP3 512 GB Android 4 Wifi Large USB plug 4,990b. Andropad TA11 2million pixels MP3 8GB 32GB 3G Android 4.0 CPU 1 ghz. 4,990b. Sonore Andropad TA12 9 inches. 1.3 million pixels MP3 32GB ROM 8GB Android 4 CPU 1.2 GHZ 4,490b. Everything else was written in Thai. Price isn't that important in this range and I'd be happy going up to 7k baht if it's for much better specs. I guess the 1.3 and 2 million pixels is referring to the camera, which isn't important to me, but I presume the 1.2 ghz is definitely better than 1 ghz. I think those two only had a micro USB slot, which I don't like or have ever even used. How do these ones stack up? Anything in there that is importantly good or importantly bad? Cheers.

Tywais Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I presume I can get a mini-USB cable to connect my Ext. HDD to it? It may already come with it. My Ainol Novo10 came with the cable for converting from microUSB to standard. If it doesn't, they are not hard to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) ^ Thanks. Noob question: Does an Android OS automatically include 'Google Play'? Thanks. Edited December 22, 2012 by cbrer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Does an Android OS automatically include 'Google Play'? Normally yes. However, as mentioned in the other topic, some Chinese models may not be properly Google certified and may have difficulties accessing it. Looking at your first link it does indicate it has Google Play and certified (in Thai). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks. Can't copy and paste from the page but half way down it seems to say in Thai that it is certified. http://www.opensource2day.com/hardwarereview/926-android-pad-ta-11.html I think the Andropad TA11 is the one I'll go for in a few days time, unless some reason to go for another one pops up.

Tywais Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Another option, which I just gave to my wife for her birthday, is the Ainol Novo10 Hero just recently released. Around 7.5k and so far works very nicely, fast and good display at 1280x800 (HD720). No GPS though. I bought mine at Invadeit.com. However if you can wait the Ainol Novo 10 Captain should be released with HD screen, quad core and GPS.

cbrer Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks. I'm more happier around the 5k mark though. Went to Tesco and their Andropad TA11 were out of stock. Went to Zeer Rangsit and no one had them. I-Note 9 inches were all over the place for 5k baht but the screen resolution was suspiciously low 800x 400 or something similar. The other tabs all over the place were AigoPad M80 Dual Core. Dual Core, 8 inches, 4,900b.

Pib Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Go to this Post in a similar ThaiVisa thread and click on the first link in that post which will take you to a AppLib webpage....AppLib is a APK download site many low cost tablets pre-install/use on their tablets instead of Google Play. The Aigo brand you mention above apparently subscribes to AppLib which may mean it's not Google Play compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks. So it's dual core with no google play (Aido) versus single core with google play (Andropad). I think I would choose the Andropad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Suggest you should look some more and get at least a dual core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how much it cost. Everything on googlesays it has an ARM Cortex-A9 Dual Core cpu. Perhaps they saved money from not getting a Google Play license.

stoli Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 If the tablet does not have Jellybean (4.1/4.2) then flash isn't a problem as it will normally come with it. That is Android 4.0.x (Ice Cream Sandwich). Otherwise you will have to sideload Flash. So far my tablet has Jellybean 4.1.1 and I sideloaded Flash but still doesn't behave right. I also am looking at tablets. did you mean to say: If the tablet does not have Jellybean (4.1/4.2) then flash isn't a problem as it will normally come with it? Thanks for the clarification.

Pib Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The few tablets with ICS and/or JB I've played with still come with Flash installed, it's just the tablet manufacturer may have developed his ICS and/or JB firmware to work with a particular version of flash....and that Flash version can't be uninstalled/replaced unless you have a "rooted" device, manually uninstall or use some App like Titanium Backup which can remove Apps, and then install a later version of Flash--and hope that version works properly with that manufacturer's ICS/JB which is tweaked to work model by model.

cbrer Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Dual Core, 8 inches, 4,900b. Do you really believe this? You won't find a decent tablet with a (really existing and not chinese copy/paste specs) Dual-Core in this price-range.... Alright. If there's none in my budget then it has to be a single core. As long as they're okay for ebooks, then the odd bit of basic games, watching videos, and popping balloons and baking cakes (the missus) then I'm sure it'll be fine. Thanks for your info.
