    Yeah,specs aren't spectacular but if someone wants a larger screen pad for kids use it won't break the bank & it's an Irish seller so hopefully returns etc. wouldn't be a problem if something was wrong with it.

    I'd guess Futeko will have them

    If you order from an Asian site, get info about the seller, check out their feedback, and use a courier for faster delivery. Some couriers can get it here within 10 days.

    Nope, not mad at all.. :) I am gonna git me one of them too, but i'm going to hold out a little for the price to drop. ~ Saying that, it's a good price now, i may not wait. I just got a bit of a shock when it jumped up in price from the Preorder price.


    There are a few other 10 inch tablets i'm looking at and pondering over..

    price is fairly low at the min though, even though the new one is coming?

    No checked Futeko, they dont have it sadly

    I edited that fairly quick.. Obviously not quick enough :)

    I edited it again for the last sentence.

    16GB version on HKG for €166 - That seller uses DHL and EMS.. Unfortunately on HKG you can't check feedback for each seller, but their delivery times are between 1 - 2 weeks.

    Cheaper here but add shipping and Duty/VAT - Aliexpress. Incidentally, if you use DHL you will almost certainly have to pay Duty/VAT.

    They claim delivery time within a week using DHL or FEDEX, and have a good rating.

    It works out the same as HKG before you add the VAT. So maybe more expensive on Aliexpress.

    EDIT> Also, i meant i guess Futeko will be getting them in.

    Ha yea sorry about that!

    Yea just looking at HGK, sounds like an interesting option, especially as they dont get done for custom and if you do they refund you so think I'll be going at that.

    Nice one!

    Not too bad. One of the better offers for Tablets available on this side of the Atlantic, or the Western World.

    Only gripe would be that it has 512MB of RAM, which isn't the worst disadvantage, but it is one.

    Also, who are midia? Are they the company selling it? If there is a problem, and it's as easy as bringing it back to the store, then i'd go for it. But if it's no more convenient than buying from Amazon or other online retailers, then i'd go for a better/cheaper tablet, Namely any of those in Futeko.

    Or any of the tablets on HKG/Aliexpress etc.. Only, if it's a present for someone, They're not so easy to return, should there be a problem..

    Hi guys, I was wondering what you all thought of this one

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flytouch-Superpad-Sandwich-Allwinner-processor/dp/B008U9LIFY

    its a 10" tablet with what seems to be good reviews. not the top of the range but a good comprimise between size,power and price.

    i think :o

    any comment would be great as i need to buy 4 of these for the kids. I contacted the seller and they ship from the UK so no worries about customs which is a big plus.

    No, no and no again. The worst tablet I ever bought was a FLYTOUCH and I would not touch them with a bargepole!!

    Maybe I just got a bad one, but I don't think so.

    You could probably get one and see if you are happy with it, if you are well and good, and if not see how the seller deals with a request for a refund.

    EDIT: A BIG NO NO, just saw this on the spec: Resitive Two point touch display screen

    Resistive screen not worth bothering with.

    I'd also like peoples views on this if possible! My gf is looking to order it for her old man for xmas.

    Found this review, I assume it's the same model? http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1293247/hannspree-hannspad-sn70t3

    If so, the fact that Google Play is not available is a pain, as well as the low-res screen.

    What tablet, for €150 max would people recommend over this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 754 ✭✭✭whowantstwoknow


    I'm no expert (and I'll bow to those that are!!) But after going around and around in circles, I plummed for the novo crystal. Seems to have good support for custom ROMs (if thats your thing)

    As it was for a xmas present, purchased from the UK to available of a UK warranty. Its coming in for < €150 (with no hiiden customs charges). But if you plan to get a sd card and a cover you wont have much change left over..

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭mcgovern


    I ordered some Crystals from Pandawill about 10 days ago, still haven't shipped. Worked out about €100 each, plus whatever customs charge, I guess around €30.
    Futeko are now selling it though for about €135, which is a good deal.

    For b&m shops,Argos have tablets like this http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5088670/Trail/searchtext%3ETABLET.htm

    Or these: http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=CNM&authToken=

    A bit more than €150 but comparable prices for similar sized screens & specs that are available online.

    Ordered two Eken W70 tablets from futeko.com (UK) on Monday night (think I got the last two black ones), delivered to my local Parcel Motel (Ashbourne) last night. Worked out at just over €80 each, impressed with them so far. They play Minecraft ok, which was a definite requirement!

    Hi all,

    Have been following this thread for a while now and think I'm about to jump in.

    But can anyone tell me the discernable differences between the;

    Ainol Nova Mars for 86 euro it's only 1ghz processor but 1 G RAM and 8 GB memory.

    or the

    Ekin w 70 with 1.5 ghz chip and only 0.5 g RAM and 8 G for 77 euro

    or

    the op tablet which I can get from UK for 70 euro.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭gerryk


    I would go for the Ainol for a couple of reasons...

    1. More RAM is better than a faster CPU. Android is heavily RAM bound up to 1GB, so you want to be there before worrying about clock cycles.

    2. The Ainol is well supported in the custom ROM community. Even if the manufacturer turns their back, CyanogenMod and the likes will deliver the next couple of Android releases at least. The McPad is not supported right now.

    3. It is definitely boot-unlocked. The OP one is too, but I know nothing of the other one.

    I wouldn't mark is as a gaming tablet to be honest.
    It should however, be able to handle most of the game apps that are on offer in the Android market.


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭zizou_


    Similar question for me:

    Is the Ainol Crystal worth the extra over the Mars or the Eken W70? Will be using it mainly for web and games for the kids.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Anyone thinking of buying of aliexpress, then look at Elijah store.

    I ordered on Friday , left Hong Kong at 3:40 Wednesday morning , arrived in cork sorting office at 8:30 morning. DHL shipping
    I should have it tomorrow and I have to pay 20.88 VAT , (Cube u30gt mini)

    Should be more VAT but I presume they didn't see the SD card :P

    Will have a review soon

    I was thinking if you are looking for a sub 100euro tablet, this would be the one to go for, but you would have to be prepared to put up with the screen resolution. 800 x 400 meh.

    After having a look at this, I think this would be the ideal one for kids, won't break the bank, and should do most of what they want it for.

    From ingadget website spec reads:

    Official Android Market :No



    No market ? does that not mean that they don't take off all the Chinese stuff and update it for you.
