Couple of things worth noting about the ICOO D70 Pro II, a lot of people saying that the battery is only 2500mah, and not the 3000mah (Which is still low) they advertise. 2500mah is very low.
WiFi Reported to be a bit low, and standing beside the router still gets low reading (150kpbs).
Also a few people saying that its standard ROM isn't good for European users, like the UG802 it has Chinese play store and some items are blocked. So you would probably have to root it.

Thanks for the info. Some interesting points from others on Parcel Motel and customs too. Will keep this in mind. The NATPC is going a bit out of price range. So I think the best one so far is:

I'm always finding that by the time I check out with paypal I've been charged a couple of euros more than I expected. Is that because of a currency conversion fee or something? It's pretty annoying.

Looks the sellers are just being optimistic with their euro prices on sites and this hooks you in to buying. You get to the PayPal screen and just pay the poor euro currency conversion price. It worked on me :mad:

Yep, but you could probably get something similar to this

You can choose to pay in UK pounds or US dollars if you want, but Paypal will find a way to charge you anyway. I don't like using paypal, for many reasons, but one main reason being the way they charge, and their currency exchange rate is always different to everyone elses, even if they start on the same day of the month.

Interesting. Would you get a more favourable conversion rate by using a credit card usually?

thanks for the info, from the specs and price it seemed a good deal to me, I guess ill go for the NATPC x2 or go back to my original plan the Novo 7 crystal

For anyone who has ordered from HongKongeek how long did your order stay at Preparation in progress.

Mines been like that for last week or more... I think this is what slowed my last order from China too

I've emailed them twice for an update but got no reply!

Mine was in that state for 5 days. I contacted them and they just said they were busy and would get to it asap. It was dispatched the next day after that.

No nothing about Vat. If you get done by customs i assume you would have been alerted when the package arrived?

Yea, as far as I know they'd want payment before releasing the package to you. You're safe I'd say

Euronics stores nationwide are selling these with free cover & keyboard.

http://goclever.com/goclever_tab_r75

Not the highest specs but with the cover & keyboard bundle it works out as a decent deal @ €99 especially for those nervous about buying online.

From the site:

UPDATE 30-NOV: More stock and a big announcement early next week!

I'm pretty sure the big announcement will be the availability of the MyGica ATV1200 dual core version.

As far as android set top boxes go these seem to be amongst the best available particularly as they are based on the amlogic chipset which has hardware acceleration in XBMC.

Will be interesting to see what the pricing of the ATV1200 is.

Depending on your budget and computer skills alternatives would be building a mini or micro ITX based media player running XBMC on Openelec or ubuntu you can put together something that will be a lot snappier than an android box for about £105 sterling for a budget build or for something pre-made you could consider this Zotac Zbox for around €155 + customs charges.

I know ye are probably sick of people asking questions like this but what do ye think of this tablet:

http://hongkongeek.com/capacitive-screen/1629-7-onn-m2-amlogic-dual-core-15ghz-android-40-gps-1gb-ddr3-hdmi-8gb.html

Had a HP Touchpad, running cm9 but it was stolen, so don't want to go back to totally basic tech.

The GPS on this would make it attractive as I had the touchpad in the car with me a lot, but it didn't have a GPS which was a bit annoying.

The size won't bother me that much, as I wasn't using it for much gaming (outside of a GBA Emulator and the usual Angry Birds etc.).
