Superpad - Archos-like tablet

I happened to catch this today and looked at the specs and the price. I couldn't help but compare it to the Archos 101.
http://www.buy.com/prod/superpad-10.../q/loc/111/listingid/135638472/220692978.html
Anyone know more about it? Other than being OS 2.1, it seems to have some nice extras over the 101 like built in GPS and an Ethernet jack.
Features
Display: 10.2" TFT Touch Screen (1024 x 600 resolution)
OS: Android 2.1 Processor: ARM11 1Ghz - RAM: 256MB DDR2
Internal Hard Drive: 2GB Flash with 2 TF slots for expansion (supports MicroSD 32GB max)
Ports: 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x MicroSD Slots, Mini HDMI, DC Jack, 3.5mm
Headphone/Line-Out, RJ45 Ethernet
GPS Antenna and Stylus Included

is it captive touchscreen? i would guess not because if it was you wouldn't need a stylus.

Haven't seen this particular tablet before, but seen hundreds like it.
There's no way they can provide all those specs without cutting corners, which means the overall experience won't be great. Also, looking at the images, looks like they've stuck a custom launcher on top.
This is probably one of the reasons Google have withheld the Honeycomb source code. If they released it now, any fly-by-night startup can churn out poor quality, cheap tablets running HC. People pick these up based on the "great price" and then find out they're a PITA to use, with none of the smoothness, flair or ease of use that you'd get with a Xoom, Transformer or (say it quietly) an iPad. The opinion they then come to? "Android is rubbish."

Hello,
Just got one.
This one only has 1 Micro Slot.
Positive:
Wifi, thouch screen and GPS function well.
Easy to install from the market.
I love the size because it's so much easier to use than an android phone.
It's an external GPS receiver
The display is fine.
Stylus is usefull because some web buttons are soooooooooooo small
Negative:
Power cable connection broke within 24 hours
USB is not activated/blocked for PC connection
Two hardware buttons sank in frame (still can use them)
Helen

its a tft, that means resistive touch...

My wife has one:
- speed is (much) less than the Archos
- battery life is down to 20 minute max (!) after some months

Game Stick Specs:
The development team has also delivered the official specifications for the new console, which will include: an Amlogic 8726-MX processor, 1 GB of DDR3 RAM memory and 8 GB of Flash storage, a Wi-Fi chip that enables 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth.
The controller, which is custom designed by the GameStick team, and gamers will also be able to connect a mouse and a keyboard to the new console.
The Jelly Bean version of Android will be supported at launch.
(More specs will be released.)

Kind of not apples to apples, as noted in other threads. Different market models:
Gametick = Non profit hardware driven by an exclusive-only app store revenue model. The weakness is the app storage, since not enough for a gaming device.
Ouya = Exact same points as Gamestick. Well, that and controllers.
Shield = Hardware profit model with some exclusive market content (though full Play support as well). Alternative goal is to get people to also buy Nvidia carded computers via the PC gaming.
From a hardware standpoint, the Gamestick is the weakest and Shield the obvious strongest.
The big weakness is again the small app storage space in the the Gamestick and Ouya, which depend on mainly gaming purchases to make money. Seems short sighted. The Shield will apparently have 32GB flash storage, but not for sure on this.
Added:
BTW, for folks only looking at device cost, that is just the tip of the cost iceberg: Dev/design costs, shipping costs, rent, employee staff, insurance, legal, marketing, tax etc.

I am going to get GAmestick and Ouya, when its available.
I will post soon. I hope.

I think specs are nice and all but it's pricing point that's really going to determine the android console winner (or leader, or whatever you wanna call this group in the niche android console market). The only thing I wish OUYA did is update the hardware to take advantage of the upcoming Tegra4 chip and the games that will follow. When OUYA was first announced, it seemed awesome because spec wise, it was comparable to the tech that was around, but now 1 year later and right before launch, the specs are already going to be outdated... =(

It' really not outdated. You can't get anything with a tegra 4 yet anyway. And ouya kinda had their prerelease in december for devs. To switch processors now would render that move pointless. For them to put a tegra 4 in ouya, it wouldn't be released till christmas.

Fry's currently has these for $55 in store. Picked one up yesterday with the thoughts of using it with Yaste for my XBMC PC. The specs are listed as but Hardware Info reports the followin in "()".
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (4.1.1)
1.3GHz Dual Core Processor (ARM7 rev 1 v71 with 2 cores at 1032Mhz)
8GB Internal Storage
Expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD card
8GB Cloud Storage Available
1GB RAM
7-inch HD 1024x600 Screen (6.55" 976x600 160dpi)

Performance and response times were extremely surprising. Battery life is short, but for $55 bucks worth every penny. Sale ends on 6/19 so if your looking for a cheap tablet to play with this may be what your looking for. :laugh:

Kingsing W8 (cheapest Windows tablet- 100$)

Did anyone bought Kingsing W8? I got it few days ago.
This is seams to be cheapest Windows 8.1 tablet.
Basic info:
CPU Intel Baytrail-T Quad Core 1.8GHz
GPU Intel HD Graphic(Gen7)
System Windows 8.1
RAM 1GB DDR3L
Capacity 16GB
Screen 8 inch IPS Capacitive Touch Screen
Resolution 1280*800
It has great hardware for that price. Some would say that 1Gb is not enough but I have this tablet and I can say it is. Tablet is a fast, fluid. 1Gb ram on this optimized OS is enough for a tablet. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer can without any problem show all sites, games can also run smoothly. (Despicable me is working great)
All sites tell that this CPU can run on 1.8ghz but Intel Atom processor Z3735G for me works at 1.33 GHz. Is there any way to enable "turbo" or what?
Video: youtube.com/watch?v=f3BMy2DrLEY
This is my first Windows tablet and it is even faster than Android which I bought for same price- 116$.
I am glad that Windows tablet are becoming cheaper and cheaper and Kingsing W8 is working great for me.
Are there any more users here?

yes, i see gizchina has reported that this is the cheapest windows 8.1 quad core smartphone at $100, i guess it's official price, not for reseller, and also know good news that Kingsing s2 and Kingsing W8 has a giveaway activity from 1949deal. See here: h ttp://goo.gl/RttCym , i guess it has no ram 2gb version now. Maybe in the near future.

This looks like a better deal, not sure if it is a scam, though. At least it is from aliexpress, so you should get your money back.

Best, cheap 8-inch Windows Tablet's the TW801. Hands down.
I picked up the TW801 from MicroCenter open Box for $118. Best $118 I ever spent. It's got a reliable HDMI-out, a Full-sized USB 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a miniUSB for charging (and you can also use it for data, I tried).
I run Fedora 17 (I'm in a Linux 101 course at my community college) using VMware while running Chrome and Amazon Kindle all at the same time while taking notes in Chrome--and I use a Motorola Lapdock for a second screen. This thing runs absolutely brilliantly. Only downside is the pathetic battery life. But for about $120, it blows the Dell Venue 8 Pro, Lenovo Miix2 8-inch and the rest of the 8-inch tablets (for me) way out of the water. I've been able to play 1080p videos on a 60hz TV with minimal stutter at the beginning and smooth sailing from then on (using YouTube). I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem watching anything else, either. If the Venue 8 Pro can handle games, this one probably can too, though the only thing I tried on it was Second Life, haha, and that ran decent.
If you're in the market for a cheap 8-inch with HDMI AND a full-sized USB 3.0 slot, nothing quite touches this little guy. Here's some specs.

My sad Kingsing W8
I've bought this tablet since 2 weeks ago and it was great... But now it won’t turn on anymore. I guess it happened after some auto updates installed. Do you have any idea....? Thanks.

Lucky you. In europe you can't buy that tablet i found it on internet. And was like woow i want. But imposible to buy here. Yes for like 220euro way to overpriced.
But yeah realy nice tablet for that price witg full usb 3.0

The 5-Point Multi-Touch is a weak point of this tablet.

Well after an interminable wait, largely due to US customs sitting on it for 8 days, the W8 finally arrived last week. After 6 days of using it I am more than impressed. Very responsive, and certainly fast enough for the sort of things you do on tablets. The cameras aren't too impressive but that isn't a priority for me. Using a full windows desktop on an 8" widescreen is a bit of an interesting experience but you can do it. I think I'll pick up stylus as my fingers ain't all that dainty! Battery life isn't stellar but it is no worse than my nook HD+, and the display is a whole lot better than the nook's. Overall worth the $116 and quite pleased with my purchase.

W8 Windows version?
Does anyone know the exact Windows version that these tablets use?
I have one that has a standard Win 8 install but the touch is not operational.
The touch is working as it operates when I did the recovery process, so I am assuming that it just doesnt have the correct version installed
Any ideas?
