Hey Coldsun thanks for your amazing reviews, they are helping me pick out the perfect device.

I'm really interested in buying this device but im having problems getting a straight answer from wirelession. I'm thinking about getting this device with GPS from electroworld but i am concerned about the first batch of units.

In your review you said that the device only detected 128mb RAM so i emailed wirelession and this is what they said

1. How much RAM does the unit have? I read the manual and it says 256MB but I have read reviews that say Windows CE only detects 128MB?

"--------the RAM is 128~130M for User, but in total it is actually 256M, 126M is used by the built in OS which the MID does not tell in the property."

2. Does the sample unit include all the accessories and is the same quality as the final production unit?

"-----------Now we actually have come to the mass productions so the next batch we will ship it include all the accessories such as SD, Charger, cable etc. but there will not be a final as we will updating the FW always for new features, the FW is ready for user."

Wirelession also sent my questions to their US distributer and this is what he had to say

"Lencho Lee forwarded your email to me .The issues you have seen on mobileread are fixable by updates except for the mem which will be bumped up on the newer units."

I was confused by this reply so i emailed him back asking

Im a bit confused about the Ram issue. The current units only have 128mb ram? The newer units will have 256mb ram? Is this because of the firmware or is it because they decided to add more ram?

"They misqouted the ram as far as we can tell.And i would make sure they bump it up on any new samples,This I can tell you.Lencho Lee is the most honest trader I have found in China..he wont lie to you"

This only made me more confused, so the units they are selling now only have 128mb ram and the next batch will have 256mb? ARGHHH I really want to buy this unit now so I have something to read my comics on when I go on my vacation trip 2 weeks from now....

Coldsun you mentioned that you were sent a new firmware that might explain the RAM issue. Any chance the update bumped it up to 256mb? Im really hoping this is the case so i can go ahead and order the A81 from E-World...

I hope you find out the answer soon so I can buy the device before my Dec 15 trip...
