With news of big companies like Motorola, LG and HTC making a splash in the Android tablet market place, itās been easy to get a bit mixed up in the excitement and forget about the lesser known Chinese tablets available.
China was and still is the place to go if you want a budget Android tablet, but in the past few months there have been some rather exciting products coming from the manufacturing powerhouse.
Gizchina News of the week
One such tablet was the Wopad. A 7 inch tablet for less than $120 with a capacitive screen and Android 2.1. Obviously with the more advanced capacitive touch screen and great price the Wopad became quite popular, and now itās been joined by a larger, 10 inch brother.
The 10ā version of the Wopad is again equipped with a capacitive touch screen, but this time around a 10 inch unit (1024 x 600), the upgraded donāt end there though as the new Wopad also gets 512mb RAM, a Infortmic ARM 11 1Ghz CPU and 4Gb of Nand Flash storage as well as an SD card reader.
Some other excellent touches are the built in GPS, Android 2.2 operating system and a monster 6400 mAh battery!
Thereās also a huge array of plugs and controls making the 10ā Wopad a true netbook replacement.
Best of all though is the price which comes in at less than $200!

I have handled this tablet, and it does NOT have a capacitive screen. In fact the screen is a bit of a letdown being resistive, and it looks rather washed out color wise. However, the other specs are quite nice, and there are lots of ports including 2 full size USBs.
You do know there are two versions of the Wopad one with a capacative unit and then the cheaper one with the resistive screen.
Hmm, when I checked out this tablet, I asked specifically about whether a capacitive version was available and was told no. I also checked the source listed for this article and the Chinese source for that article, and saw no mention that the screen was capacitive or not. In addition, I just looked on the Wopad factory website and see that they have it listed it as a resistive screen (10åÆøé«ęø å±ļ¼åč¾Øē1024Ć600ļ¼ēµé»å¼č§¦ęø).
Having said all that, nothing is impossible in China hehe, I would love to discover that a capacitive version is in the works!
PS. Good job on your blog. It’s bookmarked as one of my daily reads!
