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

Great to hear you'll stock more tablets Raz. Yes, Aurora has quite few custom roms that a lots of people like them. I believe it's discontinued productions for this model and people hard to find.

All the eken tabs have pretty much the same hardware and even the same firmware, apart from a few differences, the few differences are what make them different models. D2K your experience with the T01 will probably mirror what you would find with the A10, except for the larger form factor and the better screen.

The Aurora is pretty nice to hold, very slim and nice screen. Not sure about how the android port is, haven't played with it much. Good to hear that there is custom firmware development.

There are a few other tablet models in stock, Onda, RAmos, Teclast, SmartQ and a few non brands, they will be on the site on Monday

maybe even a few video reviews

Did...did you say EVEN MORE tabs coming Monday???? I think I just had a tabgasm! Video reviews are always good

I agree,the A90 is definitely the same(almost)as the T10a,so I'll probably skip it(not sure on that one yet...I prefer the form factor of the A90,as well as the larger battery),but the Aurora's are nice despite the horrible(IMHO)form factor. Can't wait to see the new additions

Ainol did another production run and that how we got them, i don't know if they will be making more and its not easy to know with ainol if they will make another production run or not. It does seem that ainol are now moving from the A10 models to the new amlogic chips, not sure i thats a good move or not as the last amlogic gen weren't all that great (at least in android implementation).

Only time will tell on that,Raz. At least the current ones have some built in support(that's the reason I'm interested in them),never a bad thing with China tabs. By the way,I just realized that you can only have four images per post(it errored with my last post saying that)...you might want to up that if possible or TWP might rebel

Yes, Ainol is in production of Novo7 Aurora 2, which is 1024*600 IPS screen , dual core. Have heard AML will have source code out? It'll be a great development for this.

The Onda Vi40 elite and the Teclast A12 share a similar form factor and also use IPS screens and same processor, those might be better alternatives.

Thanks, will get to changing those limits.

Yes they are, but i think they won't be totally discontinuing the aurora 1 right away.

I just read on SD on how to get Netflix to run on the EKEN A10 based tabs:
Go into your Netflix account and look for a setting that controls image quality(its called "Manage Video Quality"). Use the "Better Quality" setting.That's all there is to it...I finally got Netfilx to work on my T10a doing that :cool:

This should work for all of them

got some odd noises from this thing after I ask it to do something' basically it sounds like a mechanical hdd sound, only quieter, not sure what it is' also the usb for chsrging has become loose fitting which is bad news as that is the only way to charge it since the dedicated charger was dud from the off, this is a shsme as this tab is exactly what I always wanted, personally I would say look to the onda version as the last devices I have had from them were built to last

I seem to be hearing a lot about EKEN's frailties as of late....they used to be very well built. At least my T10a seems to be holding up decently,with no obvious problems. My old EKENS,the ones they released around two years ago,are still functioning as well.As I said earlier,yours might have been a dud with a delayed timer, just not quite right from the get go....or thats just the way that particular one is built.Sad really,it really is a great design. I've been looking at all the new choices, but havent made up my mind just yet, I have a week to do so,no hurry
