9.7 inch ICS Android tablet for $120 (wholesale)

[Puddle Jumper]

ugh....I did test it for myself, I have owned both ipads and android tablets, 4:3 ratio is by far much more enjoyable to use. 16:9 is too narrow in portrait and too wide in landscape.

I'll concede the large screens point, but when jobs introduced the iphone, other smartphones only had 2 inch screens, the iphone's 3.5 inch was huge in comparison.

What 16:9 Android tablet did you own? Nearly all of the decent Android tablets are 16:10 not 16:9

Aren't the playbook nook and fire all 16:9?

acer iconia a500 and sony tablet s

and yes, I just realized that they are both 16:10, my bad. But my argument is still valid, I prefer 4:3 for tablet use.

Don't think its out yet, but you can usually find a good selection of the Chinese tablets at Merimobiles.com.

i might try one... i must say though, my used $250 asus transformer just came today and im pretty much blown away at how nice these things are. i really had no idea they were this well developed. im sure ICS 4.0 helps, but whatever it is i can do everything i currently do on my netbook with the same speed... and a ton more portability. just, wow.

i also tried to browse a little porn, and i couldnt help but notice they could easily sell these devices as porn-only browsers. its like theyre tailored made for it! 😀

How about this site for Android 4.0 tablets?

Or this one with built in GPS for $121, resistive though.

I bought an android tab from coby during a black Friday sale in 2010 for my 13 year old son. It was underpowered, cheaply made, terribly unresponsive, and a complete waste of 130 dollars. He used it for about a week it is now lost in the basement collecting dust. The only cheap tab that's worth its price is the fire.

That was 2010 and that Coby had a gimpy cpu without a GPU at all, this device is powered by a 1.5ghz ARM SOC with a Mali-400 GPU, my Novo 7 runs this at 1.0ghz and it's quite capable of any game I throw at it plus plays flash without any issues. We'll have to see what the build quality is when it starts shipping but comparing it to a low-end tablet from 2010 is a joke, I'm considering selling mine for the bigger screen this one offers..
