looks good
<$240....

Though will lose out to those current honeycomb tablet :p

But for a 7", it's price is lower(lower than iconia A100 or HTC flyer) & performance,( should be at least Galaxy tab P1000????)

Is this better or the Herotab C8/Dropad A8 is better?
Thks!

Price label $259. This is my 1st Android so can't compare. The stand is useful though the angle is better if at 45 degree instead of 60 degree.

Do take note the battery drains fast so good for use at home.

Thks for the links. Comparing the 3, the herotab has bluetooth n built-in gps, the rena 3 has bluetooth but no gps n the novo 8 does not have either bluetooth or gps.

I know the herotab is still not available yet but have u seen the Rena 3 selling anywhere in Singapore?

Any help will be appreciated. :)

Those who ordered the Haipad M7++ from me. Your tablets are here already. Total $260 each. All paid up already so no need top up. Luckily didn't get charged for gst.

Same here. My friend recommends Appbrain but it still requires Android Market. Downloaded Android Market 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 apk but both failed to launch after install :(

yeah so stupid...the device itself is quite good....if only have the android market then it'll be awesome. So far im installing apps manually from http://www.freewarelovers.com/android

The media playback so far so good. battery life around 3-4 hours approx (maybe 2.5 hours if wifi is on all the time).

oh the device also comes with a remote control...quite cool.

now...need to find out how to add android market :o
