I didn't want to post a link as that might be construed as a marketing ploy (unless moderators give me green light to post the link), so if anyone is interested, can PM me for the link to the site, I am in no way affiliated with the site and will earn no commission, discount or any other tangible or intangible benefit from recommending the site

It should arrive sometime next week (i HOPE) and I can try to post some pics.

There are excellent videos on Youtube, just search "Herotab MID816".

Cheers and have a great weekend all.

camping for your review

Just updated the firmware to 2.3.1
Its something by their forum guru without having to root the tablet!

Quick review

I tried before other MIC tablets in the market locally and those in hk last dec when i was there.
NONE of them are as smooth as this C8.

It installed flash player 10.3 already, but yet to have chance to try those facebook games. Will give it a try later tonight when home.
Installed games like angry birds, battleheart. They work smoothly without any lags at all.
It comes with HDMI port, but I have no idea what I can do with it though... connect it to display on tv? I am thinking if it can connect to project or not, then maybe I can do presentation to my clients at work
It comes with two mini usb port, one is for OTG the other seems to be for HDMI.

Will try to visit telco this weekend to test if it works with the local 3G bb dongle. I read reviews it should work mostly, but all overseas comments...

Pros
good forum support
firmware 2.3.1
smooth UI
additional accessory keyboard
expandable memory with microsd

Cons
heavy at ard 500g
don't know where I can source for screen protector and casing of its size
Don't seem to have GPS built-in (still trying to confirm on this)


Overall a tablet like this priced at USD200, there is nothing I can complain already.
Its just a fraction of the mainstream android tablets in the market now, probably better than some even!

Hi bro, u have got it for more than a month now. how do u find the tablet so far, can give an update? how is the battery life?

China products have very bad battery quality. The battery always fail above all things.

gbjack - "China products have very bad battery quality. The battery always fail above all things"

That is true but always can replace the battery and with bigger capacity.

Purchased Ainol Novo8 Advance S$229, I'm impressed with it.

 

[kazuki666]

ok, test games like angry bird, battlehearts, cut the rope, fishing joy.
siong sia, all smooth no lags

batt life wise its ok for me, coz since its just wifi so i dun really bring it ard to play non stop too

Hi, how's the battery usage for the Ainol Novo8...care to share?

i think its definitely good for the tablet to have 3G function lor.
Like my C8, though it claims can use USB dongle, but I think none of the local is compatible...

but ok lah, i can live without it
