    you would be better off buying this(link), as it is situated in AUS and for the $17 difference get yourself a 32GB memory card, giving you a 40GB tablet…. :)

      Not the same tablet…Mars is a single core tablet with LCD screen.
      Aurora Gen2 is dual core with IPS screen.

      • +1

        ahhh yes sry my bad guys…, yea this is a dual core & dual GPU system with IPS…

    • +4

      jetair the one you linked to is the Mars and its worth $90.
      While the one I posted is Dual core with an LG IPS screen. The same screen used in ipad.

        sry bashar, but these Ainol's are quite similar by name and to look.. lolz

  • -3

    Gave the missus an Ainol for her birthday.
    She didn't like it much…

    • Well in that case you should take it instead!

      • -4

        That would come out well.
        "Can I take the Ainol from you?"
        Gotta think of a better way to word it…

    • -1

      Why didn't she like like Ainol?

      • -1

        It was too hard for her.

        • -2

          Have you tried Ainol before?

        • -1

          I played with her Ainol a couple of times.
          You?

    • Seriously jokes like these are only funny when its not obvious…Every Ainol joke under the sun has been flung here already …

      • +2

        are you suggesting we need to try a different angle?

  • Hmm I thought the A9 was only single core. Don't they get the dual core from the fact it has a GPU in there as well. Same reason they think it is 1.5ghz as they are adding the A9 1ghz with the Mali400 GPU. Just dodgy marketing I thought.

    • +2

      No its Dual Core. The original Novo 7 Aurora was single core.
      and Aurora II benchmarks are way better than the orignal Aurora.

      This is the best 7 inch tablet with ICS you can get for less than $150.

    • +2

      Cortex-A9 is indeed dual core CPU, it differs from Cortex-A8 (market name: Allwinner A10) which is just single core CPU.

      • Once you're on "Quad-Core", you're hooked. Even my poor IconiaA500 feels left behind !

  • +2

    I love the company name

    • +1

      hehehe - yes I guess they couldn't call it the Ainol Pad :-D

  • +1

    1024x600 isn't really enough for decent web browsing these days.

  • does anyone know if the speed of the cpu for ainol compared to nexus 7 is noticeable in reading magazines/playing games?

    • For playing games, you're going to want the quad core tegra3 Nexus. Magazines shouldn't be a problem on any dual core tablet.

  • +1

    This name cracks me up every time. Loll :)

    • if you put it to a good use, it will rock!

  • +3

    I have this tablet and a tergra 3.

    For most games there is no diffrence - The Ainol is the best 7" you can buy for the money.

    • How reliable is the software and hardware build quality? My previous chinese tablet only lasts 6 months then the audio is gone (A8X though it was given it to me for free). thanks

  • -4

    I Love AinOL with 7INCH!! :)

    • with capacitive touch for extra sensitivity XD

    • +1

      I wonder if anyone will ever work out how to use/find the "G sensor"??
      - or is it just part of the tablet mythology??
      (false advertising perhaps)

      from you're comments It seems like you're a guy.

      Gayyy

  • +35

    Stop with these obvious Ainol jokes guys- they used to be funny but now you've rectum

  • Supplier reliability and postage times anyone?

    • +1

      Supplier is very reliable. based in HK and they are an authorised dealer of Brainwavz.
      they usually respond to issues within hours.
      This one comes with Fedex 2 days delivery for free.
      and as a side note the Brainwavz Beta IEM are really good and sound like a $70 IEM at least.

    • you might wanna check ratings here:

  • +1

    Also, I love how in the "Additional Information" tab, it has the following info:

    Manufacturer = No

    Lol. They don't want to give away their manufacturer details. That's the trade secret there ;-)

    • I don't blame them, Apple is only an injunction away! ;)

  • OP. Nice find!

    kinda reminds me of this…
    http://whrl.pl/Rdgeio

    :)

    • Funnily speaking I noticed the offer while browsing the Brainwavz IEMs. as I got the M4 and am quite happy with them and my workmate got the Betas which are decent as well.

  • +1

    Firm deal for entry level tablet usage..

  • +1

    I have been waiting for a good deal on this tablet!!
    ordered with referral code, cheers ;)

    • cheers.

  • +2

    Bought it earlier today, was waiting for a good deal on this tablet. Already got fedex details….

  • no charger included?

  • Just ask the online helper, stated comes with wall charger

  • http://www.slatedroid.com/
    reading through slatedroid, seems like it has random reboot issue (especially V1)

    anyone got such issue?

  • Does it come with GPS? Warranty?

    • +1
      • it comes with a "G-sensor"
        good luck trying to find it!
    • No doesn't come with GPS.
      Ainol comes with 12 month warranty but you will have to send it back to seller I beleive.

  • +1

    Great tablet. Writing right now on an elf ii

  • any upgradability to jellybean?

  • The tab has major wifi issues :( and ghost touch issue …. Touch issue us fixed witha new flash rom reducin the touch sensitivity but no fix for wifi yet

  • +1

    great price and i love the 4 that i have (only one for me setting up three others for family). They are fast dual core tablets with nice screens and good build quality for price.

    Cons

    Wifi is a major issue, they have missed a key piece of the wifi anttenna which can be fixed by pulling screen out of case and adding a 30mm x 25mm peiece of foil to arial in unit. This is fairly easy to do, have done it to 4 units myself and fixes issue, its not a software fault so I would only buy if you are very close to router or are happy to do mod. On a modding level it is very basic and does not require solder. Just an old credit card, sticky tape and aluminium foil. Some people have broken screens from incorrect opening technique so be careful.

    Some touch screen issues (i would like to use stylus but not sure if this will be possible, sorry havnt got one to test).

  • +1

    Quite good considering its half the price of a nexus 7 with some minor regressions.

  • +1

    plus from me as it is very good deal….
    I have the Aurora 1 and just love it…..weights half of my IPAD3….
    Screen is so good and clear (excellent for viewing photos… and speed is very adequate…
    Aurora II must be even better and faster….

  • Can anyone recommend a 10" tablet with similar specs under $200…..

    • +1

      I think you'll be looking at a bit more than $200 - from Whirlpool discussions you would be looking at either the Cube U30GT or AussiePad 32GB.

  • +1

    sigh and just when I talked myself out of getting a Nexus 7 :(

    Got some extra discount with the "fb2012fiver" coupon, picked up the stand/car charger pack ($5…. why not?) and upgraded to the M2 headphones as they are on Headphonics recommended list (+$29, for a $75 pair of headphones).

    I've read about a few issues with these things, but it looks like you can go the hack and sort most of them out.

    • Heh, just got an email saying they oversold…. but should be getting more stock in the next day or so.

  • should get the elf II and have less issue? at least no random reboot……no ghosting also…..

  • has anyone got theirs yet? or at least updates on fedex tracking? they set up the tracking on the same day i brought, then got an email saying low stock and they will get new batch on saturday, and havent heard from them nor any update on fedex since….

  • havnt got mine either …same situation said they had sold out with more coming MONDAY …monday has gone and no updates….. oh dear

    • i expected to be holding it by friday and latest monday when i brought it on wednesday as it said 2 days fedex :( im fine with the delay but seriously cant stand no updates or anything….
      if anyone has gotten theirs, could you let me know? just so i know its actually coming >_>

  • yeah nothing here yet, I've replied to the support ticket they created so hopefully I get an updated ETA soon

  • After much much much emails and tickets i get this

    Hi

    Your order has been sent out, you may get the parcel as early as tomorrow.

    Thanks

    We will see ;-)

    • i got this reply as well…..but theres so many doubt in this == theres no indication of which order, whom the message was to…and most importantly…. NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE FEDEX TRACKING PAGE YET.

  • Yeh but i think they forgot to finish the sentence…..
    Your order has been sent out, you may get the parcel as early as tomorrow.
    BUT WE HIGHLY DOUBT IT !!!! lol
    they didnt even say tablet they said parcel….
    I think they might be inundated with orders….or complaints

  • Have a look here there are people on whirlpool who ordered yesterday and are getting confirmation of delivery tomorrow …fingers crossed aye..

  • WOOOHHOOOO just checked my Fedex delivery number and its updated with PICKED UP and a delivery date estimated 3rd August well well ;-)

    • got mine as picked up too! finally!!! estimated on 2nd of august =D

      • Yep me too, looks like it just left HK. ETA is the 2nd

  • bought yesterday. ETA is 2nd of August……

    • changed to 3rd now :(

  • +1

    Mine just arrived :) Looks like they forgot to take out the free headphones when I upgraded, so I got the Betas AND the M2s. The viewing stand is rubbish, and the charger doesn't have an Australian plug on it so I've got it charging on USB at the moment.

    • Cool, I got the M4s and the Betas.

  • Got mine aswell i cheated with the Non Aussie charger…i just bent the pins…ssshhhhh dont tell anyone…worked a treat and charging away nicely…. i got 2 headphones aswell… all good very happy here ;-)

  • Ordered last Thur, FedEx got it Tuesday, I got it yesterday at 3:00pm. A week is still very good from HK. I had a Aus-US power plug adapter on hand. VERY pleased with it. It's at home on long charge - looking forward to playing with it this weekend.

  • I bought one of these but it has turned out to be no bargain. Fedex / Australian Air Express/ Fastrack would not leave it at my home. So I drove an hour and a half hours to pick it up from the depot … and the screen is scratched. I am so pissed off right now. Oh and thats after I spent half on hour yesterday waiting to taalk to some one from fasttrack only to be transferred to Australian Air express and waiting another half an hour.

    • +2

      Silly question….and im only trying to help…. it does have a screen protector on it from factory….is that whats scratched and have you tried taking it off? or is it a deep scratch in the screen?

  • No It doesnt. That's what I thought to start with. They are light scratches I can only see in reasonable light, almost like some ones take sand fine paper to it. Maybe im being to pedantic ?

    • Yeh well SORRY SUPAROOTER aye…. looks like i was right ….Thanks Suparooter…… your welcome Cribbydave

  • +1

    I had the same, screen looked scratched and looked like sand paper was used on it. I didn't see any protector then i looked carefully and start to pick at the side, there was a protector, i removed it and the screen was fine. It took me about 5 minutes of picking before i could get enough of the protector off before i could peel it away.

    Check your screen carefully, your description is exactly like how my screen was and there was a protector.

    • +1

      LOL . It was real b#$th to get off. I am such an idiot.

  • Fedex stated my door is shut and leave me a card while i'm at home………
    i suppose to leave my door open and put a note "rob me" ?

  • Hmm, thats odd. Your referral link gave me a generic domain squatter page with ads the first time. After that it takes me to the site though.

  • yeah. mine came with plastic that is scratched….. just need to peel off. replying from the tablet :)
