roban Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) 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. It (single-core) will finally do it's job, but you will notice a huge difference in speed, when it comes to render websites with many pictures/javascript/etc. Also playing movies/streams without supported hardware-acceleration, may cause stutter.

cbrer Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Seems one can't buy a Sonore Andropad TA11 for love nor money. All the vendors in the computer malls just have I-Mobile tablets now, with a few Nex's and those Gpad Experience I and II's. None seem to retail Sonore and the Tesco only have other TA models with TA11 out of stock in all. Hopefully another shipment will come soon. Surprising that Sonore don't have a retail outlet in BKK.

cbrer Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 How does one know if a tablet has google play/google market licensed. As the TA11 is currently unattainable, I'm interested in the UPad U801. See: UPad U801 However asking the staff in Big C if it has 'Googen Play' will just gets nods and 'Yes, sir' whether it has or not. How can one check? Thanks.

cbrer Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, great if I could get a quick answer. I'm possibly planning to buy the UPad A801 today, but cannot find anything on the net that says it can use .pdf's, epub files etc. in order to use it as an Ebook reader. How would I know when checking it out? (I doubt the staff will understand nor know). Thanks. One specs site just says: "Ebook Reader: Adobe Flash Support" http://www.pkcom2002...P-331814-1.html Can I just download a free ebook reader from Google Play for free? Thanks.

I imagine you can download Calibre (free download) and read your ebooks from there. I have it installed on my laptop so can't see any reason you can't download it to a tablet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrer Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks. Going down to Big C to try and buy one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Went down to buy one. It wouldn't power on or charge the dead-battery after 10 minutes of trying. "Oh this one hab plobrem mistah. Last one, mut lao" "That's okay, never mind." Didn't instil confidence in the product and I'm still tabletless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
