SUPPIN did you get the advanced or basic version of the novo7? Are there any reviews of the basic out and is it capacitive screened?

I bought the novo 7 advanced version. The advanced has a capacitive screen. I didn't do any research into the basic version because there were many concerns about it being a different type of processor and not an ARM. Sorry.
*EDIT ADDING MORE INFO*
Here is a review on IMP3 of the Novo7 Basic. It does look like it has a 5 point capacitive screen (as seen by the tests).
The biggest issue with the basic for me would be the XBurst CPU. Since it is a MIPS type CPU and not an ARM type CPU, it will have problems with compatability of many applications. The IMP3 reviewer mentioned that glbenchmark, nenamark, and neocore all had problems with this CPU which definitely does not bode well for application compatability.
Also note that MX Player and MVideoplayer don't seem to work with this tablet, installing but not running according to the reviewer, in fact he says none of the video players he installed work correctly. Very very bad compatability issues, once again due to MIPS v ARM support.
Well read the review and take from it what you wish, it is fast though (although it is using a 2.2.1 variant of android and not the later 2.3.4 that the advanced uses).
