does anyone have experience with the cheapie android tabs from China? (Haipad, epad)
Some of those things sell for like R600!
Not looking for something to stand up to the P7500 (cos that's just never gonna happen)... Just something for the baby to learn on and keep her occupied (...which won't empty my pockets!)
Even if it's half decent it will definitely beat those verimark crap "laptops" any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Anyone got one?
Was it worth it?
Can you upgrade the android version?
Access the Market?
does it run the usual apps?
 
Yeah I have one. It's ok for reading, browsing and watching stuff. I don't do much else on it. Not that ideal for games due to the resisitive touchscreen.
 
I also saw this and was thinking of getting me one for university next year. Is it a good deal or should I perhaps take the Huawei
 
I've seen many but haven't used.

A friend got one of those 700 bucks one with 2 point touch capacitive screen...he said its quite good, just lack of memory and terrible battery life for gaming.

I mean I have an Ipad 2, so I think its terrible :P

think for a baby to learn, best to have a capacitive screen.
 
My cuz brought one of those cheap ones for his daughter. They bad. But for a 4 year old kid. It's fine. For guys like us. It's a waste of money.
 
Thanks for all the replies.
Ok, so I'll stay away from the resistive screens then (...but DAMN they are cheap!... 10" for like R1100 on bidorbuy!!!)
Capacitive-screen tabs are in the same price range for a 7" with Android 2.3
Been doing some Googling and some of these things actually come with 1GHz, 512MB RAM, Capacitive screen and Android 2.3 ... and still under R1500!
