I’ve been suitably impressed with my Pipo Mx Android tablet with its dual-core CPU and Android Jelly Bean OS, but the new, improved, faster and larger quad-core Pipo MaxM3 appears to be even more impressive!
According to the specifications I have been sent, the next generation Pipo MaxM3Jelly Beantablet will boast some significant upgrades over the already impressive Pipo M2!
First of all the overall size of the new Pipo MaxM3 is larger than the M2 and get’s a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 which should please those of you looking for a slightly larger Jelly Beantablet.

Like the M2 the Pipo MaxM3 has a 1.6 GHz Rockchips CPU with 1GB RAM, so performance is not going to be an issue with this newtablet.
Other upgrades over the M2 include a rear 5 mega-pixel camera which will offer much better image processing than the 2 mega-pixel unit on the M2, the front camera remains a 2 mega-pixel unit however.
Although I have heard rumblings in the past that the Pipo M3 will support 3G this doesn’t seem to be the case, but like all tablet the M3 does have Bluetooth, WiFi and various plugs for HDMI, Micro USB and a micro SD card reader.
Prices in China will start at $200 but expect resellers to be charging closer to $280 once the Pipo MaxM3 goes on sale.
Had a not so good experience buying from a Chinese tablet manufacturer. ROM was buggy and they refused to update it. Besides that it had good specs. Had to take it to a dev and he cleaned up the firmware which he said was messy.
Anyway, I don’t think I’ll buy another tablet since I found out that it’s not that useful other than for surfing and for games. All these I can do now with my new phone which has a 4.8 inch screen. A tablet is just not good enough for any productive work. I tried editing a spreadsheet and it was a pain even if you connect a keyboard.
