never seen it, if its hard to find info then dont bother with it, from what i have seen on base level tegra 2 tabs is they need support to finish them off, it says in the ad that it can be updated to 3.0 but .. by who?? who is providing the update, they only put that in as a teaser, again, if you cant find info easily forget it and keep looking

I spoke with the person who is selling it. He says it's from company called Toviton, based in Shenzhen, China. He said the website is under developement and that he (we. As he said) will provide the update when available. Later I came across this page:
http://toiviton.appliances-china.com/
Which does not list this tab but lists him, the seller as Manager of the sales department.

Please see the second link in my last post for more info BENCHMARKS and TAB pics.

Honestly if you wanted a 7" Tegra 2 tablet, it might be better to buy the Acer Iconia A100, and pay a little premium for added support, an out of box honeycomb 3.2, full market support, a much better screen, and 1GB of RAM (versus 512mb for that one...)

That said what do you want to do with your tablet? If it's anything to do with video playback the Tegra2s are not for you. I have found many mentions on the MX player developer forum basically stating that "Tegra 2 processor has worst video decoding capability among modern processors". It's raw processing speed is very good, and 3d is probably very good as well, but the video decoding is a large stumbling block. Link to forum and discussion about why the old Galaxy7 plays video well and the 8.9 with the Tegra2 has issues. I personally have tested this and it's very true.

If the Iconia A100 is too much you, or you intend to do video playing consider a different processor, like the Amlogic AML8726-M chip in the Novo 8, the BoxChip A10 chip in the Novo 7, or the RK2918 chip in the Window N50.

Thanks for the reply Suppin and maderin1.
Is it really that bad?
About Ainol Novo8 and 7 those were my first choices but they have the Mali-400 GPU which is a big turn-off. I intend to use it for heavy 3D games (Fast5 HD) and Emulators(PSX,SNES,GENESIS) and I want it to be able to play 1080p stuff. Also Novo7 seems to have a mediocre screen although great at media playback and Novo8 a weaker processor (Emulators). Window N50 is very impressive but again rockchips, although superior in media, I am not sure how well they handle heavy 3D games and emus. Acer Iconia A100..... :cry:

Can you guys recommend Dropad A8X? cause I would love to have classic Dropad A8 but A8X just seems that much better...

: I know the Power VR SGX 540 delivers for gaming but does this tab fair well on 1080p playback??

btw, I found another tab! :lol:

Its from a company called Besurely.

You are looking at all the wrong things when it comes to picking a good tablet. Honestly there is nothing to jump up and down about Tegra2 processor and the standard android port for most big brand Tegra2 devices is pretty bad, so i can only imagine this being even worse.

Picking up generic tablets like this is playing Russian roulette with your cash. If you were to jump on a Rockchip generic tab you would at least be secure in knowing the Rockchip port of Android tends to be stable and you get relatively good performance.

You're better off buying a generic tab which has some community development already rolling, you will get much more out of it and be much more satisfaction.

Whatever you do, don't just look at hardware specs and assume X tablet will be better than Y tablet as it has better hardware. There is much more to hardware performance than the hardware itself.
