iPad Android knock off

Spotted this and thought it was interesting. One review site thought it might be priced at $250. It even has an IPS screen.

Arnova is the cheap side of Archos. As far as I know, it is still running Froyo and probably will not be upgraded above that version for lack of processor and RAM. Considering the issue that many of us have with Archos, and based on my little 43it "tablet" I won't be buying an Arnova product.

[edit]

I see it is running Gingerbread, but I doubt it will go above that OS.

It is supposed to be running the dual core Rockchip 2918 which doesn't fare to badly in a match up with a Tegra 2. It is also ICE compatible. But who knows. But you are certainly right about Archos not having a stellar reputation.

I ordered an Arnova 8 G2 which is due here tomorrow and will let you know about the quality issue. Sometimes the world has surprises for us.

Look great. But 1 GHz is not enough for some large game. Will look for another one with higher processor.

One thing to consider, check the Android Black Friday thread, you'll find a Best Buy leak and in it you will see an Asus Transformer for $250.

Also now that I have a Honeycomb device, I can say that Android still has a long way to go before it gets up to Apple reliability. And I will not buy an Apple product so it pains me to say that. I've crashed my Iconia tablet several times and only owned it for two days, I've found features missing and things that don't work correctly... Feels like my Archos 43it but bigger and with a better touchscreen. The display does look great though and I assume they will release another update that will fix the last few things, it is better than my 43it in several ways, but not as good in a couple of other ways.

Not everyone would get an Android tablet (or any tablet, for that matter) to play games.

I'm trying to find out how to remove the games on my a500, some of them are part of the default OS so I can't just uninstall them.
