I know the feeling. Just as you think you've decided on your next tablet another one comes along and your back to square one :wink:

lol - if you keep looking you will always find something to change your mind

while in have dissed tabs alot of late i can now see that i may be interested, especially as they are getting faster and more stable hardware, higher screen res, 4:3 format and capacitive screens (which seem to be popping up all over now)

i like decent battery too so that will be a feature i will want, i want to use it moving around and not be tethered to the outlet at the most inappropriate of times, i will see whintin the nxt couple of months and then maybe see if i come to my senses or not

This is the only problem with some of the tablets around at the moment, such as the Novo 8. It seems a really good tablet, and if it wasn't for the poor battery life I would probably order one. The Samsung S5PV210 processor in this tablet seems to use less power compared to the Amlogic AML8726-M one in the Novo 8. This also has Bluetooth and built-in GPS which is a nice addition.

That looks like a nice tablet. Interesting to see hdmi and full usb host. I hope to see a review in it soon.

There is a video review/demo, but I can't post the link as it's from another shop.

@Raz
Will MP4nation be stocking this tablet? If so when can we expect it? :P

I can't figure why anyone finds this tablet interesting, ok it does have a high res screen, but from the video i saw its pretty standard quality (bad viewing angles), the only other thing is GPS and bluetooth, but both of those are not worth the $299 pricetag.

Depending on where you are in the world you can get a Viewsonic gtab for $299, even on Amazon its $259.

I don't have details from our suppliers, but if the end price we can offer it at isn't below $250 i would not even consider getting this as it's NO WAY worth the almost $300 bucks!!!

I have mentioned this before, don't be fooled by the 'higher res' screens right now, from what i have seen these 'higher res' screens are usually just standard or lower grade than the 7" 800x480 screens normally used.
