Review: W1060 7-inch MID by WireLession

[shifty]

Thanks!
Are there any special instructions? Ive followed the usual one(format, transfer mlo file first then the rest. when I go to install the firmware I get the normal 4 rectangles but then my screen slowly fade to a yellowy/white and no letters appear...
What am I doing wrong?

You are trying to use firmware not made for your model. Mine does the same thing. I had to back up to a working version for the model that I have.

does that mean android 2.1 wont work for the C screen???

After the screen turns to that weird color, just set it down and go do something for about 5-7 minutes. Mine did the same thing but after a considerably longer time than WinCE, it had Android 2.1 on it. It just takes a while.

hello everyone, im a new member here, and would like to say thanks to ColdSun for a wonderful review of the W1060 and JE100 and imaredr's review between the JE100 and JE 200
i've been on the look out for a portable ebook reader for a long time and if i had seen this site before i wouldn't had wasted my money for a psp a year ago.
one question since this is a review made in 2009, has there been any new releases from the makers of W1060 or from jointech that is better?
and could you suggest any online retailer that have this that are based in asia as i am from the Philippines.

thank you.

@metal1369 Hi there.. I'm from South East Asia also.
So far have had experiences talking back and forth via email with Jiongtang, Merimobiles ana Eletroworld.
So far the first two are the ones (in my opinion) that people usually look after first.
Plus the first two merchants have A81-E version..
So this might be a better choice than the original A81 / W1060

Just my 0,02 cents

@Zapikoe,

Thanks for the info! That is something to think about when picking out devices and merchants.

[metal1369]

@zapikoe, thanks for that. can give out the links for their websites i googled electroworld and i found a Philippine electronics retailer.

it seems the site you gave have the a81/w1060 under a different name or branding.

thank you

[zapikoe]

@metal1369 Sorry for late replying.. Haven't browsed this forum for about a week or so X_X
Well, here are the URLs
Jiongtang -> http://jiongtang.com/shop/
Merimobiles -> http://www.merimobiles.com/
Eletroworld -> http://www.eletroworld.cn/

There are at least three names that I can recall of
o) Wits A81-E (or just A81)
o) Wirelession W1060
o) Nationite Midnite

On the side note, this merchant sells A81.. without particular branding

For additional money, than what's sold on Jiongtang/Merimobiles.. The price paid for, included tax in his side (in my country)

I´m looking for some MID devices and A81-E (W1060G) is my no.1.
Can somebody confirm functionality of BT and GPS with the Android 2.2?
Or this features are working only under WindowsCE?
I want to use Bluetooth to connect my phone as data-modem and GPS for some Geocaching applications....

Greetings from a newbie to tablet PCs-

...and with admiration for ColdSun, phuongt, kathyzhong, Lencho Lee, pphillips (may I call you Zealot? Most appropriate. ), et al. I address here mostly pphillips/Zealot:

1. Do you still find iPhoneToday to provide the best UI, to your liking? My 1060 currently runs plain-vanilla CE & by itself I find it pretty tedious to use. My CE is v. 6.0, Build 3122.

2. From http://code.google.com/p/iphonetoday/downloads/list would I download the cab or the zip? What do I do with it then? Copy it to the SD card, I suppose, but then...?

3. Do you still have problems with CorePlayer, Suspend and freezing in the A81? If so I suppose they might problems in the 1060 as well.

4. As to CorePlayer, post #116 poses a question as to whether to use the Mobile or CE v. I didn't see a definitive answer. Also, kathy in post #280 mentioned the need to first download (and, I assume, install) a Raysource file. But that site is mostly in Chinese which I lack. What to do?

5. I noticed when downloading the Iris cab (I haven't tried installing it yet) that the Win Mobile OS was cited but not CE. I gather that there's a difference between those, but is it OK for CE as well?

6. And lastly, you mentioned a Japanese "Mem" app. Could you provide a link to that?

I think I will find your posting #508 particularly helpful. Lots of questions here but surely not too many for a Zealot.

Regards,

Ken Herrick

@zapikoe thanks for the links

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been asked but I have searched and cannot find an answer.

Can anybody tell me where I can buy a spare battery for my A81 in the UK?
Is there an equivalent (or one with greater maH) that I can source locally.

Many Thanks

Chough
PS Can anybody give me a steer on what commands i need to set the icons in iPodToday to get clock/battery/wifi etc?

I know this retailer is in Canada, not in the UK, but I see no reason why you can't order from them. Merimobiles is a good retailer who seems to have a confirmed and trusted reputation for internet sales. This link takes you right to the battery order...

Hope this is what you're looking for!

Thanks for that pphilip, I will give them a go!

On my other point would you know where to steer me in setting up the iPodToday UI?

I just need to know where the battery meter/clock/backlight etc programs are on the A81.

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Chough
