Can someone advise me on the quality of the Novo 7 screen?

Based on various reviews, the screen is so-so. The last review I read said it's like an oversized android phone. Novo 8 will have better screen

Got this from TabletRepublic ...

Quote.. "Even better news, we have been advised by Ainol that they will be releasing an official firmware update with android market soon after the 25th Oct. Looking forward to that as we should be highly stocked up on Novo 7's by then"

Just bought the novo7 advanced 8gb today at SLS, 4th floor shop in front of the escalator.. got it at $199

screen quality isn't fantastic and this is the first time using an android for me so i'm pretty damn lost. don't know if it's me but the touchscreen isn't as sensitive or 'precise' as the ipad.

then again, for $199 i guess i shouldn't ask for too much!

off to install the 1.6 firmware and to google how to start installing apps!

Good price. More worthwhile than merimobiles & the other user who ordered his from Malaysia at 550 ringgit

I guess we should start a thread on NOVO7

Good for you, bad for me

And to think that he is banging away on his Novo 7 while we are still waiting!

Can't win all

From what was reviewed, I already won by not getting wopad i7. Don't get me wrong wopad i7 is good, but novo 7 is better

Now just wish someone comes out faster with a nicely priced reliable 9.7"/10" IPS screen A10 tablet

Only consolation is some sort of wrty assurance from Merimobiles, as they seem reputable at the moment, although far away and lehcheh if that is required! Touchwood!

i hope so too, tho they mentioned warranty is only 3 months.

having played with it for a few hours, one of the main gripes is the buttons (menu, home etc) on the side that arent responsive as i'd like them to be. response is also slightly slow as compared to the ipad when typing..

i wonder if anything can be done. hmm.

I read something about blow dryer (heat) treatment that helps screen responsiveness. BUT I won't risk it if I were you.

Sometime capacitive screen needs some usage before they becomes responsive

and see if the settings still there after reboot.
