I'm going to try out the A90 from EKEN :-)

dragon2knight · **Posted:** Fri May 25, 2012 10:12 pm

I think it's the best one that EKEN currently makes. It has all the good stuff:

1. 1024x768 4:3 format 9.7" IPS screen(very nice,this,much easier to hold and view web pages/comics/documents...there's a reason Apple uses this format--it works best!)
2. 5000mah battery(finally a bigger battery in an EKEN!!)
3. Dual cameras(2mp rear and vga front facing)

For only $179.00US, this is a steal IMHO. The A10 chipset is proven to handle its ICS implementation very well, and as with the T10a, a simple launcher change should make this a sweet tablet. I've wanted this one ever since I saw it on EKEN's site, happy as heck that Raz is carrying it here

I will order it next week and report back about it on here, as well as post a video review(and I'll be back to using youtube, I shot several videos using my own camera for demonstration use, and will be only uploading free to use music for the review to keep the MIAAFIA at bay...its a pain to do this, but it's the only way it seems....)

That sounds cool D2K. good to see you'll be back to youtube again.

Im going to take my kids visit China by end of June to see my family , I maybe will grab some new tablets back..lol

If I had the opportunity to go to China...I'd be broke before I left,lol. Customs would hate me

Anyway,I might pick up a new Ainol Advanced II as well,looks good for the price, would make a nice gift

i have one in hand D2K, so if you need any info let me know, im no expert but ill try and answer
just for verification, i have always championed the larger 4:3 format and im right ... its the perfect size and ratio for media consumption imho

Really?? Well then,on to the questions

1. Does it run Netflix?,the T10a dosent....
2. Hows the battery life?
3. Is the screen as nice as I think it is(IPS is supposed to be superior to standard ones)?
4. Are you using the stock launcher or have you upgraded?

That'l do for now

Thanks!

wifi is slow, compared to my phone - im sure its not an "n" rated wifi hardware as, in a race on the play store and web my simple phone wins hands down - slows down quite alot in general especially when jumping between apps, this aint good as i got this for my partner to try anf see if she liked tablets as she is wanting a ipad, this was a taster and lets just say its turning her off the idea of using a tablet in general

all web browsers seem slow and clunky

1.netflix - i dont have account - but loads and asks for login details
2. battery - well on SD someone has one and claims 8000mah with 9+ hours of video with wifi still on - mmm .. so far, after a few cycles its what i come to expect, 3-4 hrs general use maybe less depending -
3. yes, screen is nice, angles are great but its a battery eater, but its bright, good frm all angles, never seen a retina display so cant compare and would not compare, touch is OK
4 stock launcher with another installed, i cant see a boost in using the other really

accelerometer wont work in some games though, like temple run etc, not tried any others

So...its exactly the same as my T10a...picky accelerometer and all. My guess is Netlix wont work either,it signs in but wont display video,only audio.If Raz wants to he can order a version with the 8000mah battery,but he has to order a boatload of them to do that...maybe when the price comes down a bit it would be worth it. I havent noticed any slowdowns with wifi,though, seems just as speedy as my other tabs(and it does have "n" hardware,I have an app that checks for that). I also figured the battery life would be a bit better than that as well, but that pretty screen is obviously killing it. Ah well, I guess I'll just go with the new Ainols and see whats up with them instead, they look pretty nice

Thanks, mad, always nice to have a heads up before ordering something
