Went this morning...(5m after shop open at suntec) Weight is ok (compare to my tf101). Screen speed is smooth..angry bird n aircattack is gd. Its looks like samsung tab... The home n back button is unique as many r touch screen while this is button. Did not try camera. There is a sim slot for upgrd(150rite). Only setback is the resolution( maybe is thr launcher as the icon is not HD);p...on games, xolor is ok

ops i am not there hhaha...

think the screen speed can be improved if installed a different launcher from market la...

camera normal la.. just enough for web cam..

sim card slot already there, just need add in 3G module then can go 3G ...

Resolution 800 x 480 pixels, maybe suntec never switch the brightness to full so not look not sharp...

Few questions. Are you guys planning to put HoneyComb 3.2 on this? Would look much better compared to Gingerbread.

Does this unit comes with unlocked bootloaders as well? Easier for SuperUser/Busybox etc.

we not going to do that as we learned our lessons in win xp (Android 2.2 Froyo) and vista (Android 3.0). there are many thousands of software already designed well for 2.2 while 3.0 above still little

if wan to look better, there are many honeycomb mod theme in the market to download..there are number of custom rom online too (use at your own risk)

we do not recommend user to root DreamPad though and yes for some apps does required rooting in order to run.

The good part about DreamPad II is, you can easily restore to stock rom should it crashes due to unknow source applications.

BUT please note, if it is flashed by other rom which is not from us, it may BRICK the pad and no cure for it man...

*BRICK means the pad can no longer function or power on. It will become just a pc of brick. :)

Ans: first time encounter, you can try "skyfire", firefox, dophin browser HD . if cannot, will pm you method to reset everything to factory default

2) rotations are the other way for some apps?
Ans: yes for some yes, let us have the apps name and we try

The sim card slot only can be use if upgraded to 3G module la. cannot call out one la..

Hmm, I would say Honeycomb 3.2 works better with 7" and above tablets though. Doesnt require the use of physical/capacitive buttons as well.

Easiest way would be Gingerbreak for now for 2.3 OS. Is there any forums or websites where we can discuss the development of this tablet? Might be interested to get one to develop stuff for it :)

if just "read pdf and ppt slide fast and some occasional surfing of net" only, If like this, any pad in the market can do it, even 600mhz processor can do good job. just that cannot install flash 10.3
