Guys, can anyone confirm if this tablet has nfc? Testing with a bank card or something would be great.

Declared value was $48. They asked me to confirm the price of the product however, so I got rap for 21.50 or something like that. (I had also paid 35 bucks for shipping). Not the end of the world

what is wifi range?

tagoona · 13-03-2013 11:19am

Got caught for 14.50 customs.
Build quality seems quite good overall. The power switch is slightly looser, but not the worst I've seen.
Performance, at least on one of the kids games, seems quite good.
After installing skifta(dlna software) and mxplayer(video player), I can stream 720p quite well. Viewing angle and sound are both good.
Wifi reception seems about as good as the phone (router upstairs)3 out of 4 bars in sitting room
Chrome seems a little slow, but I need to play more with it.
Stock browser is a skinned version of chrome.
Overall, a very decent bit of kit for < 90 euro

I'd dispute that with Aliexpress. Contact the seller too

I would too. Mine ordered feb 19th - customs ireland on mar 7th.
Although tracking wasn't great.
A week ago it was in china, next time I checked it was in customs.

Thanks, makes it very tempting

Has anyone rooted it yet?

I have mine a while now and the wifi is a bit flakey, sometimes it doesn't reconnect to router properly, and if the screen sleeps the wifi knocks off, even though I have the keep awake setting on.
I installed an app called "Regpon Wifi Keep Awake" and it has made it a little better.

Next is Flash, flash is installed but I tried watching a couple of live streams yesterday and i was getting sound and no picture.

And some high end games are not working, well the only one I have tried is Real Racing 3 and it isn't working 100%.

Other than these niggles I am delighted with the tablet. Watching video is great on it, I have a 3.5GB MKV file and it loaded no bother in MX Player. Sat last night browsing the web for ages and it was a joy, I was editing spreadsheets in Google Drive without having to zoom in and out.

Mine cost me €81 and that is less than half the price of a Nexus 7 and it is definitely not less than half the quality.

If I could only root it I would be a happy chappy.

The latest tracking detail on mine is "Arrival at inward office of exchange" IE. Does this mean its with customs???

I'll answer my own question for others who may want to know the answer.

I got a letter in the post today from customs to declare a value of the item by email. Had to scan the invoice and email to an address provided by customs. Got a reply a few hours later saying that i would have to pay 23 euro duty on delivery next tuesday. Overall cost under 100 so still a decent deal.

Gonna throw mine up here for sale if anyones interested rather than waiting. Cost me about €95 including DHL delivery and customs, but I'll take €85 for it. Cheers

I bought this last year. Power supply lasted 6 weeks and then broke. Cannot charge it through the USB port = return to seller = "got lost in the post" sh*te = money down the toilet.

A replacement power supply might have cost you a tenner, and you would be better replacing the power supplies that come with the tablets anyway IMO.

I'm not sure if there was a declared voltage on the crappy power supply though. I did try another supply at 5V, but it didn't work. It may have had an internal fault too. I ended up assuming it was some form of smart power supply...

I would be suprised if there is anything 'smart' about the power supplies that come with them, I usually discard the power supply provided and use a decent one with a 3pin plug on it anyway.

When you buy something from China, I think you have to realise that you pays your money and takes your chance, the 'warranty' is usually next to useless as they expect you to pay for shipping it back (and sometimes for shipping the replacement/repaired unit back to you also) and they often claim to have not received the items.

Mine is DOA. Gutted.

Edit. Got it on. Looks like the power on switch is dodgy.
