Anyone know anything about this one?

[Sir_Cusfreak]

I've been looking at cheap tablets for my kid, and I've come across this. I've googled it and searched forums and youtube, but I'm finding just about zero info. It looks to me like what I'm looking for, but not being able to find any info about it makes me wonder.

Newegg.com - iView Iview 760TPC Android Tablet ARM Cortex-A8 1.00GHz 7" TFT Capacitive Touch Screen 512MB Memory 4GB Flash HDD

no reviews. Nothing on the net about it. No forum posts on any of the several android forums I know of. But, it's got a capacitive screen at $130 shipped, says it has official market and flash, and looks like it will do the things I want it for...I think.

If anyone knows anything about it, I'd appreciate any info.

At least if I do take a chance on it it's from Newegg, and not a site from halfway around the world...but would rather hear something good about it before buying, ya know?

Anyway, thanks in advance.

I did not see any mention of the official Google Market for this tablet. If you read the user manual on the vendor's website, it talks about the King Kong Apps Market.

Worse case, you could probably install the Amazon Appstore and get some decent programs. Not sure if there would be any restrictions with this tablet there.

I'm thinking about picking this one up now, since it's comparable to the Ployer MOMO9 I was looking at, plus it's newegg, so the return policy won't be too bad. It could prolly be rooted, but I wouldn't know where to begin...

If this tablet can be rooted, though, then official Android Market can be installed, IIRC.

I ordered it, should have it Wednesday. I'll review it here and on Newegg.

As for official Market, it says in the product description "over 200,000 apps in Google Market." Also, in the picture, the icon for the official market is on the screen. I know that doesn't mean it does have it, of course, but with those two things combined I'm hopeful. If it doesn't, I'll be trying all the tricks that work for other tablets, and using SlideMe and Amazon. But I hope it does.

If the specs are real, it seems like the best deal I could find while ordering from a reputable US seller.

We'll see.

Funny. I plan on ordering mine on Wednesday after I see how much money I have left after paying the bills.

From the product description, one would think that it DOES have the official market. I'm uneasy about having this "Kingkong Market"(which has few results on Google, those being anything from Iview's website; the market itself has no webpage, lolwut?), so I'm hoping that the tab will have actual Android Market on it. If not, then I hope that it'll be easy enough to install it onto the tab...

Got one today. It does have the offical market on it. It's also comes adb rooted ("ro.secure=0"), so installing superuser is simple. Other than market; it has Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, and Flash 11.0.1.152 preloaded.

The box has "Processor: A10 1ghz" and "Support 2160p full HD video" on it, so it probably has an Allwinner A10 processor w/Mali-400 gpu. Every tablet I've read about with "2160p support" ends up being A10 based.

Be careful with Busybox installer. Busybox must exist in /system/bin for it to fully boot. When I updated with BusyBox Installer, it put it in /system/xbin and deleted the other. When I rebooted it wouldn't load but luckily adb still worked. So I linked '/system/bin/busybox' to '/system/xbin/busybox', then adb reboot. This time it fully loaded.

oooh, you should do a review! XD

But yeah, your post pretty much seals the deal. I'm going to order mine on either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how much money I have left after paying bills.

How quick was shipping, BTW?

[Sir_Cusfreak]

NewEgg auto shipped mine on UPS 3-day select, free, first business day I ordered it.

lgthorn, what are your overall impressions?

So, it shipped same-day? Nice.
