    I just bought 2 :D Now I have a HP touchpad, Optus mytab, Telstra Tab, LG2x and this :D <3

      You could pool the money spent on those and get a real tablet? Transformer Prime?!

      • massari on 05/03/2012 - 14:50

        lol they all have their places. HP touchpad for the train as ebook / internet, Optus mytab went to my mum who uses it for online radio / calling places, telstra tab was pretty useless but my dad has that, and the LG2x has been my phone for the last 6 or so months :D I still havnt decided what to do with this new tablet thou :\ Maybe it can replace my HP touchpad?

        I cant pass up a good deal! Once a good tablet is on special then maybe…

        If the transformer prime was 3g I would jump on that!

    Cheers.

    • udyz on 05/03/2012 - 16:53

      "Multi-touch"- touch screen can detect more the one finger(or what ever you use to touch) at the same time!
      most probably two fingers…. helps in pinch zooming, rotation, etc.
      one of the tables can detect 10 fingers at the same time… not sure which brand!!

      • massari on 05/03/2012 - 17:05

        pretty sure i read this one reads 10 fingers

    Excellent deals, got the Windpad 110w and 10" Android Windpad. Also, reading elsewhere it seems the Windpad 110w should feature 4GB, and not 2GB of RAM as indicated on Big W's specs sheet. Hope that's the case.

  • hambuger on 05/03/2012 - 14:33

        BT Keyboard? Any comments?

  • syme321 on 05/03/2012 - 14:39

    My HTC desire annoys me due to having insufficient RAM which impacts the ability to install apps.

    My Desire has 576Mb, this has 512Mb … would I be right in assuming that it will be equally gimped or does the fact that it's not a phone free up a lot of space?

    • robinsoa on 05/03/2012 - 14:48

      You would be equally gimped.

      • syme321 on 05/03/2012 - 14:52

        thx

    • c4ppuc1nn0 on 05/03/2012 - 14:56

      Well.. i think it's different..
      IMHO, different from mobile phones, on tablet new apps will be installed in internal hard disk (Flash,SSD), while external storage (SD card, etc) is for storing photos, data, movies, etc. RAM is used for operation of operating system and working like pagefile (on PC) which act as a temporary memory for running apps.

      Hence, the number of apps will be limited to the internal storage (which is 4GB for this Windpad Enjoy), and the number of other data will be limited to capacity of SD card. However the operating system files will be stored in internal Flash/SSD (4GB), hence the actual space left for new apps will be limited. I once read that the empty space left is about 1.2GB.

      • scrimshaw on 05/03/2012 - 21:26

        My Samsung Gal. S2 has 16GB of storage (total) however there are 2 partitions, one of which is labelled "Device memory" - 1.4 GB capacity and the other partition is labelled "Internal USB" storage which is 13GB in size.

        When the phone installs apps, it installs it to the "Device memory" partition but for apps where App2Sd is allowed, the application will install it to both Device memory and Internal USB.

        I believe for the Windpad, the same deal will apply — you can't use the entire 4GB for application storage.

    • hambuger on 05/03/2012 - 15:24

      Normally after rooting a droid device there are apps that will let you link to the SD card freeing up internal space but this has none of that so you'd be stuck installing to internal memory unless the app let you move to SD.

    • netsurfer on 05/03/2012 - 15:27

      To syme321, RAM and ROM are different. The issue with HTC Desire is lack of ROM space (probably only around 1GB - and nearly half of it goes to system partition) - so only 576MB for user apps.

      This device has 4GB ROM apprently, but it is unclear how much is allocated to user app space (2GB hopefully). The OS, Gingerbread, means the /data partition is fixed. Honeycomb is better, but it appears that Honeycomb OS is not available on this device (hopefully I am wrong on that one).

      • bargaino on 05/03/2012 - 15:59

        You are talking about Flash memory. I would not call it ROM, as the device is constantly writing to it, like a hard drive.
        The 512MB of volatile RAM is plenty for Android 2.3.

        • netsurfer on 05/03/2012 - 16:09

          ROM = Flash ROM. GSMArena uses the term ROM as well. People understand (you do too). Nowadays, ROMs are pretty much flash ROMs. It is easier to understand than flash memory and volatile RAM (randrom access memory).

  • snajper on 05/03/2012 - 22:03

    Not a bad deal but there are now so many other tablets on the market that are better in that price range.
    7" Ainol Elf in similar price but 1gb RAM + GPU + 1024*600 screen + ICS V4.03 + 8Gb for around $140 delivered. Even better is Ainol aurora that goes for another $20 more which has IPS screen.
    I think there is 10" with IPS screen for around $180 on the net.

    • chid on 06/03/2012 - 10:00

      what? what 10" with ips screen, link please? :)

      • shawn_low on 06/03/2012 - 11:33

        Look on sites like Chinagrabber etc to see the list of Chinese-branded ICS tablets.

        I think there are brands such as Paladin, Ainol etc.

      Do not buy this. Had them before (the 10" model but I assume the 8" is almost the same quality) and ended up selling off ebay the second day. it feels so fragile. it make sound when you touch along the edges. broken speaker sound when maximum volume. I would say MSI is far better quality

    So, who's received their 7" Enjoy tablet?

    Got mine today and testing it out… the performance of the tablet is somewhat sluggish. There's quite a bit of lag when scrolling through web pages and parts the UI.

    Viewing angles are OK. Significant upgrade from the Optus Mytab, that's for sure, but its nothing to write home about.

    Build quality is fine, the device manages to feel quite solid (and heavy) despite it's low price. The camera is only 2 megapixels (woeful quality) but I don't think anyone cares about camera quality on cheap tablet.

    Fairly small internal storage — even though there is 4GB of NAND, 250mb is all that's available for applications.

    Quadrant Benchmark pulled off about 1,100 marks. GPU performance is a bit of a let down — the Acer Liquid Metal has better GPU scores.

    • StewBalls on 07/03/2012 - 15:12

      It would be nice if they do an ICS port, or root access to trim the fat. I suppose failing that, a CM would be nice…I had a play with a workmate's 10" & I'm not sure what they've done to Gingerbread on it, but it's a real dog…my GT is far more responsive! :o

      I'm no Android expert, but I get the impression that this would be a different tab altogether with a better version of the OS on it.
