Seriously you might as well try get it at SLS for S$189-199. Not much price difference.

Ya, I read also, also that the stock will come this weekend. Anyway, it's still faster than 2 weeks wait from merimobiles for the same price.

On the side note, the more I look at V9 the more I'm tempted

Was at Expo during lunch hrs today. There is a small counter selling CUBEU9GT at S$289. Saw Novo 8 too. There is a 7" device but too crowded (only at that counter) for me to ask whether is that Novo 7. The expo show is run by Gain City mainly, nothing much to see unless you have specific item to purchase

Thanks bros for the leads.
Trying to get a friend to get from PRC. If cannot secure a unit , then will get from SLS if there is stock or the online promo deal...


Hopely, with the 3.2 Honeycomb out for the Novo7 Basic, we do not have to wait long for the Advance version of 3.2..

From what I know, Novo7A will not get 3.2. 3.x is not open source, the reason what Novo7B will get 3.2 is because of the processor it use (not A10), that company has some agreement with google. That's why tablets with that chipset will likely get 3.x update.

I see, thanks for the info

It's a good cheap option for reading website & ebook, BUT 4:3 screen not really suitable for good gaming experience Vi30W might be better value as it's 8" and not that much difference in price.

YES!!! Make some nice one with capacitive screen. All the white ones all resistive screen

Oh ya, if anyone interested in Momo9+ avoid hor. Some complained you hold only can see ripples on the screen liao. Don't even need to press hard. The back casing must be those soft thin rubberized plastic.

Guys anyone know about this yet...Blackberry Playbook 16GB Wifi is selling at 248$ at the singtel shop, NO CONTRACT.

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=3464108&page=61

The only catch is...the singtel CSO always play trick and say out of stock one...after reading that thread can see some ppl manage to get it (after bang table) while some come back empty handed lol...and some offerered to buy the 32gb which is 378$

Anyways, i think 248$ for a capacitive 7" tablet with 16GB space is quite a good deal...even though its not android (i heard it can play android apps though? can anyone confirm this?) .but really reminds me of the HP Touchpad saga back then....alot demands, but no stock

Ya I saw it too late (like yesterday)

Send back to merimobiles. I sent email to request them to send back.

I called them and request them to help me to prevent it from sending back to China, the person say need 3 working days..
Kao, sending messages from their office to the warehouse seems be so HARD

Hope that Merimobiles is kind enough to send back

Wopad MID M12 9.7inch IPS Screen 1024*768 4: 3 1.2GHz Android 2.3 HDMI Dual Cameras 8GB Bluetooth ... USD$247.99

I'm aiming this for a long time. This tablet was on promo until 31 Oct, then now, it came back again! I was hoping to find it selling in SG, then compare the price of getting it locally vs buying from Merimobiles or Aliexpress.

I think M12 price will drop even more as M19 gets more popular. I don't think I will pay more for the 3G feature, or do I need the slimmer body, or a higher capacity battery. M12 will be good enough!

This is true. Unless they manage to steal the source code, then make their own modifications to make it work on their hardware, otherwise it is impossible to get Honeycomb on these China tablets. Also, why bother with Honeycomb when ICS would be out "soon"? I suppose we can hang on to Gingerbread but use Honeycomb themes while we wait for ICS?

In case you're wondering if your tablet is powerful enough to support ICS, there a look here: http://www.androidmemo.com/2011/10/...-ics-minimum-hardware-requirements-256mb-ram/


"...all android devices must have 256 MB RAM or more and also decent GPU since Hardware-accelerated 2D drawing might be needed, 2D acceleration depends on your phone GPU not the CPU so, there’s no problem if your smartphone still powered with ARMv6. I think only middle and high-end phone meet that criteria. But if your phone doesn’t meet those, it doesn’t mean you will never has chance to install it, CyanogenMod Team with CM9 and another developers will work hard to make it work on all android phone."
