    Just absolutely crazy cheap. Scary to think what the cost of making this is.

      I heard cost price of Acer Iconia was $35. So presumably Hyundai is even less.

      • Postulative on 06/03/2012 - 18:01

        You heard wrong. There are websites that calculate the cost of tablets based on their parts, and no tablet manufacturer is making that kind of killing. Most of the profits are marginal - the big players are in the business because they "have to be", not because they're currently making a killing.

      • SydStrand on 06/03/2012 - 20:02

        Unsubstantiated bullshit. $35 wouldn't even cover the cost of raw materials (ie petroleum for plastic and unsmelted metals), then you throw in R&D, licensing costs for components, manufacture, distribution, marketing, stocking etc. Yeah. $35 sounds totally plausible.

        Also, this implication that tablet makers are enjoying 900%+ profit margins for $500 devices is so laughable. No company can sit pretty on that sort of yield without hungrier, more nimble competitors eating up their market by being willing to take cuts in their bottom line. Even Apple with their price premium is only sitting on 10-30% for hardware.

        • boretentsu on 13/03/2012 - 21:05

        Didn't think of the whole return/refund thing but this thing has a processor twice as fast and runs the latest Android plus a quick google finds existing support from the community.

        So I guess its a question of whether you want a better OS with community support or the ability to refund if something goes wrong.

      • scrimshaw on 06/03/2012 - 08:21

        For tablets that don't have market access, you'd have to rely on somebody to cook up a ROM for it that includes GAPPS. Unfortunately, this tablet is pretty new so there's hardly a community for it.

  • Frantic on 06/03/2012 - 04:41

    For those one that interesting on this tablet, I just found out another way to saved you few more bucks!!!

    1, Create a new account, it will give you 3 offers:

    5% off, $2 off and $8 off

    2, Pick $8 off and display price in USD.
    3, Use Paypal, and depends on exchange rate might save more or less.

    For example, I just bought this tablet for AUD $98.20.

      Extremely unlikely.
      My Transformer 101 (first gen) can't handle HD mkv files. I have to convert to MP4.
      It MIGHT handle avi files if played on MX video player.

      • eternal on 06/03/2012 - 09:17

        On the website it said "Supports mini HDMI video output, enjoy 1080P HD video with this device" but i just wanna make sure it plays 720p 1080p MKV properly and put its HDMI into good use.
        Tossing up between WDTV Live Streaming and this tab… if this tab plays MKV properly then i'd get this.

    • lamerthanlam on 06/03/2012 - 09:34

      Yes it will work. The original transformer doesn't work because tegra 2 doesn't support neon instructions which is needed for smooth video playback. Google it.

    • Cloudyday on 06/03/2012 - 13:29

      From the description，it is able to play 1080p MKV

    im sure given a few weeks a fix would be made or possibly go to market through the browser?
    all i know is for the price the specs are awesome!

  • BigLeviathan on 06/03/2012 - 07:42

    wow… seems a good entry-level tablet, been thinking to buy asus transformer prime, but looking at this bargain… might not be too bad, would it? (well… i'm afraid, if I pay peanut, I will get monkey)

    • Twodogs on 06/03/2012 - 12:32

      You cant really compare this tablet to the transformer prime as the price difference is huge.

      Saying that , i bought a chinese tablet last year " flytouch 3 " and currently have the transformer prime , the difference is like going from an old 1960's car to a ferrari .

      It may be ok just to get your feet wet so to speak in an entry level android tablet , but if you can afford it get the prime .

  • morini on 06/03/2012 - 07:54

    It's a deal, but not by much. $120 from tabletpcwholesale.

    Its specs on the site say:

    Networking 3G, USB Dongle
    Wireless Connection Wi-Fi
    Wireless Protocol 802.11 a/b/g/n

    Not clear whether it needs a dongle but it does appear to have Wi-Fi built in. The title does say "with 3G" which you could well argue is a statement that it does have 3G built-in.

  • ozb-442 on 06/03/2012 - 08:21

  • effgee on 06/03/2012 - 08:45

    Effectively it has no 3G, since
    1/ who is going to walk around with a USB dongle hanging out, asking to get snapped off, and
    2/ who knows what 3G dongles are compatible ?

    Also, anyone ever heard of this from the specs):
    "Chip Quanzhi A10"

    At least it appear the wifi is built in.

    Still, assuming it works and the build quality is OK (big assumption), this would be a great toy. If I didn't already have a mytab no CM7 I'd be sorely tempted. 10" screen would get me across the line.

    • Postulative on 06/03/2012 - 18:04

      Just set up a wifi node on your phone, and connect it to that.

  • Charlotta on 06/03/2012 - 09:02

    This device is apparently made by a Chinese electronics company - not by the Korean car making and machinery company of the same name.

    As a user of the excellent though limited Optus MyTab ZTE V9 it is hard for me to imagine having to go back to a tablet or phone that doesn't have both HSPA 3G and GPS on board. My biggest issue with the MyTab is the limit of 512MB of active memory - about 400MB of which is used by the installed Android 2.3 operating system.

    Supplied specs on this device suggest it also only has 512MB of active memory! How much of this does Android 4.0 use?

    None of the specs mention a GPS of any sort.

    In regard to 3G - if it has 3G on-board - none of the specs mention what frequencies of 3G it can access (i.e. which 3G or 3.5G networks it can use), nor at what connection speeds. Presumably unlocked….!

      You don't say.

      Are you referring to RAM? or Internal memory? This device has 8GB of internal memory and has 512MB of DDR3 RAM. Both of which are sufficient for ICS.

      In regard to 3G - if it has 3G on-board -

      There is no onboard 3G chip.

  • wildstone on 06/03/2012 - 09:52

    Since this is not built by the korean car making company, I assume the quality is just as good as all other chinese brands? In that case there are a lot other 10" ICS tablets on the focalprice website which is in very reasonable prices. Can anyone recommend one that is good and reliable?

  • newguy on 06/03/2012 - 09:54

Any other suggestions on better suited tablets for this purpose? Only going to be used to watch a kids shows when we go on our car trips.

    • furythree on 06/03/2012 - 16:48

      of course it has speakers

      if your car has an AUX port, just buy a male-male cable off ebay/focal price (basically a cable with 2 ends that are headphone jack plugs) so u can get the audio through the speakers of your car.

  • quebeck on 06/03/2012 - 11:57

    Hi Guys,

    I got one of these tablets about one month ago, and I've been researching around for more information since then. I thought I'd let you guys know all the stuff I've learned:

    • I believe it is made by a chinese electronics company called Hyundai Digital, not Hyundai the car company (although it could very well be a small division of that large Korean conglomerate.), and so the quality is similar to other chinese tablets. The website is www.hyundai-digital.cn

    • The screen has pretty poor viewing angles, and the resolution is not the best for the size (the edges of fonts is pretty pixelly), but it's so cheap I wasn't expecting anything fantastic.

    • The capacitive touchscreen works well, it seems as responsive as all my other capacitive devices.

    • The cpu/motherboard is based on the Allwinner A10 SOC (System On a Chip), and so performance is similar to most other cheap chinese tablets based on the same technology. (The Allwinner A10 is an ARM chip manufactured by a chinese company).

    • The CPU is 'specified' to run at 1.5ghz, but most (if not all, including mine) only run at about 1.1ghz due to heat/stability issues.

    • It's a single core, not dual core as you sometimes read (the 'dual' nature is the fact that it contains a graphics chip as well, the Mali 400)

    • There are NO hardware buttons, so it makes recovery a bit more complicated (see the end of this post)

    On the SOFTWARE side:

    1. Download the livesuit as mentioned previously, install the 64 bit driver (run a file called drvinstalled_x64.exe, then run livesuitpack_v1.07.exe).

    2. Run livesuit.exe

    3. Select firmware (which you download from the hyundai website)

    4. Reboot the tablet in usb boot mode. To do this there's a little hole on the bottom left, use a paperclip to hold the button in, then press the power button. The red light will come on but the screen will be black, that means it's in usb boot/recovery mode.

    5. Plug it into your computer. It'll install some special drivers, and then the livesuit program (which it still running) will detect that your tablet has been inserted in usb mode, and will automatically start flashing the firmware.

    6. Profit.

    • There are no hardware buttons, so it's a bit difficult to use ClockworkMod recovery to test out different firmwares. I'm hoping someone will port over the Touch version of CWM rec, I might give it a shot if I have time.

    • I haven't tried rooting/install android market on 4.0.3 yet, but I confident it should work.

    • The hardware of the different tablets based on the Allwinner A10 is pretty similar, so hopefully the hacks/mods from the other allwinner tablets should work.

    Ok I think that's it. Any questions let me know. Hopefully with this information more ppl will be brave enough to get these cheap chinese tablets and hopefully we'll get some more software support! :)

    There's lot of android tablet forums out there, so you'll have heaps of stuff to read to keep you occupied. :)

      • eternal on 06/03/2012 - 12:18
        +1

        well if it runs at around 1.1ghz most of the time (single core chip) then theres no hope of it running 1080p MKV video clips without hiccups then? Have you give that a try before?

        • quebeck on 06/03/2012 - 13:28

          Hi,

          Can you give me a link of a sample 1080p MKV video clip at the bitrate you want? I'll download it and try playing it for you.

          I'm pretty sure that higher bitrates require more CPU, so if you have an example file that would be the most accurate test.

      • fufufu on 06/03/2012 - 13:17

        Would also like to know if you tried high bitrate 1080p MKVs and how it ran.

          The tablet has the Mali 400 graphics chip which apparently has accelerated video playing features.

    Chinese media says the tablet is sold for only $75(￥499) in China but I can't guarantee the price as I haven't noticed the model in the computer stores in China. But you can certainly get that from Taobao.com if you understand Chinese for only $75 excluding delivery.

    Just another low-quality clone trying to gain credibility by association with a reliable Korean brand-name. The retailer's advertising makes misleading claims re 3G.

  • strangeloops66 on 07/03/2012 - 10:32

    This is a "Korean" product (but might be made in China). Korean IT has an 11+ year history. There is no mention in that history (http://www.hyundaiit.com/company/CmpHstHistory.jsp?pid=1) of manufacturing plants in any other country but Korea (in Gimcheon, in the middle of Korea), but that of course doesn't mean that it has not contracted with Chinese manufacturers to produce these devices for it in similar fashion to Sony, Panasonic and all the rest. The headquarters are located near Seoul.

    For what it's worth, I have a CD player made by the same company that I bought at Crazy Clark's more than 4 years ago, and it is going strong. It was made in China.
