ZeniThink ZT-180 Specifications Faking, Not ARMv7 A8-Cortex!

[Laharl]

Don't fall for cheap salesmanship I was contacted by Merimobiles and made aware of the cpu problem and they were very nice to me and when they found out they offered a refund or a discount!!!!!!!!!!!

And THIS WAS THE DAY THE CPU WAS FOUND OUT TO BE MISLABLED!

So I went ahead and got the Epad from them they were honest and upfront with me on the item and it was not a hassle!!!!!

"Hi as you may or may not already know from the news circulating on the internet, The Zenithink processor is clocked at 800Mhz and is a ARMv6 CPU. Please understand the original specs that we got from the Zenithink manufacturer is 1GHz processor, although after dissasembling the device as noted on many blogs, news websites and forum, we found out like many others that in reality the processor is a ARMv6 clocked at 800Mhz."

This is what they told me after they found out and they did it ASAP!!
From what I heard of the reviews the tablet is still a great tablet its just not a 1ghz Product.

ZT-180 800MHz processor 10" tablet
CPU is ARM 800MHz
Price is $219.99 plus shipping which still beats out the flatpad and alot of other places for the Zenithink tablet
So Get it HERE!!!!

They are still wrong. It actually does seem to be running at a legitimate 1GHz. The key is that it's ARM11 and not Cortex A8.

Merimobiles is still expensive. You should not be paying more than $200 US for this, shipped.

I still don't recommend this tablet. The Android build is no good on this.

Well I only paid $220.00 for the tablet Shipped so I didn't do to bad just 20 over 200 so Im ok with it for now and I read at XDA that they just updated the RoM for it and its supposed to be running alot better now.

The units are great for developers serious about getting a head start on larger format Android development. but yes, they are not really mainstream ready. They are able to be flashed with custom/ updated ROMs.

We have them in hand and have run specs on them, etc. Note: THESE particular units do not have the Market installed and are really stripped down. There is supposed to be updated Firmware this week.

If you are interested we have two open box units available for $200 each cash. They are located in the Seattle area.

We have some pics also:

If anyone gets their hands on a more stable Firmware update w/ the Market, etc can you pass it along to the community?

I can recommend the procedures on iBeau dot net I have used the ROM upgrade, and the market install procedures and can assure you they are "bear-proof"!

I have followed them, and have an 0827 ROM, and the Android Market installed. Now that I have it, I'm not as excited about the Android Market, as it won't allow me to download some apps because of the VGA restriction. I am supporting the Camangi Market, since it states it will be for "tablet" applications.

BTW, I do not have a stake in Camangi Market, I'm only a user. I prefer to support those that support my hardware.

Thanks!

Well, I actually paid slightly more than $200 for it shipped to Spain, but that price includes a socket adaptor for EU, a screen protector, a stand to use it in a car and a case with a qwerty keyboard inside, so I guess it's a fairly good price. I know it arrived in Spain yesterday, so I guess I will have it at home tonight or maybe tomorrow (unless customs want to know more about it).

I very recently acquired a 10 inch tablet from a UK Amazon supplier (I want to start developing something different), so I installed Dalvik Explorer and pulled up the build
/device details. Follwing is an extract:

CPU AB: armeabi-v7a
Cores 1
Brand MID
Board f04ref
devicef04ref... running android 4.03

General infromation information relating to the the above CPU I found seemed to indicate Cortex 7? Not Cortex 9A as described by the seller. This does not look like a Cortex 9a; if you could confirm this I would be grateful, as then I can take it up with Amazon an the vendor.

The unit Also cannot load Google Chrome for Android even though it is running android 4.03. Other than that the unit is quite nice.
