I know they aren't ipad killaz (waiting for nvidia tegra2), but they can do some stuff ipads cant and you save almost $400 :)

for simple stuff (reading, web browsing, checking mail, notes, appointments, for the kids, music, expandable storage, etc.) they're good to go.

finally the $100 buck device!

and Via performance is not bad, should be same performance as my Via netbook.

i think am going to get at least 2, 1 for me and the kids :p


who needs the OLPC when you got these!
these could be the high volume hardware governments were waiting for to deploy on to the kids, specially developing nations.

oh :) i quite like the look of the Eken m001 on deal extreme, might have to pick up 1 of these for a play with , any one from the uk dealt with deal extreme before?

[samalex]

The website make the MINI iPadⅡ8 look way too much like an iPad. Android can stand on its own merits so by vendors trying to make an iPad knock-off running Android will just push some consumers (like me) away. I'm totally waiting for a good Android tablet, but I don't want one that looks just like an iPad. I'd get an iPad if I wanted that.

If anyone has purchased one of these, it would be interesting to get a first hand review.

i found a few reviews on you tube, but i dont have speakers on this computer, so i dont know what they thought of it.

Youtube has started to integrate auto captioning, maybe they have them on the videos you saw?

[pwnst*r]

They probably run like crap. You get what you pay for almost all of the time.

[JDShu]

Where are the cheap ARM Netbooks? :(

[mkendall]

They probably run like crap. You get what you pay for almost all of the time.

Yeah. But I'd rather pay for $100 worth of crap than $500+ worth of crap.

[pwnst*r]

Yeah. But I'd rather pay for $100 worth of crap than $500+ worth of crap.

Of course. You make complete sense.

[murderslastcrow]

I'm really considering getting one of these with a USB port so I can dual-boot with Ubuntu. XD e17 tablet FTW.

[tgalati4]

On a Via processor? That would be painful.

for $100 bucks the EKEN M001 is not as bad as i thought

the 8" EKEN M003 has an 800mhz VIA so it should be more smooth


i wonder if we can upgrade the android version

Android 2.2 vs Android 2.1: Froyo Is 450% Faster
http://gizmodo.com/5536751/android-22-vs-android-21-froyo-is-450-faster

the way things are coming, i think soon we'll have some very cool pads for $100 bucks :)

[Johnsie]

I assume that having a 7/8" screen is like having the same size of screen on a netbook. I had and EEEPC 401 with a 7 inch screen and while I did like it I found that a 10.1 inch screen was way better. I would never go back to a 7 inch screen. 7 inch is just a little to small to view websites properly.

I'm still not conviced by the pad architecture but if someone wants to give me a free one I'd be more than willing to give it a fair trial ;-)

[Anzan]

I have the m001. The 7 inch screen is just fine because unlike the original Eee (which I also have) the tablet can be in portrait or landscape mode.

I really don't know much about Android so I'm using this mainly for familiarizing myself with it. I'm going to see how it is for reading comics files.

(For eBooks I really enjoy the Alluratek Libre Pro. Fantastic machine.)

[HappinessNow]

I wonder if the will end up to be as good of paper weights as the iPads are?

[mikewhatever]

Yeah. But I'd rather pay for $100 worth of crap than $500+ worth of crap.

Here's something, just for you bro! :p
