Ipad Clone

Burning · #1 11-09-2010

I just bought one of those android ipad clones, I did my research before purchasing them and I'm excited to receive mine!!! There are many forums online dealing with modding certain android tablets.

I paid $200 for a 10.2" with 1ghz processor...

I was just about to buy the Samsung Galaxy (never took to the Ipad) but I didn't like it when I saw it. It was more like a large Iphone at 7". I may have to go with the flow and get an Ipad...

I was thinking about getting the ipad, where'd u get the android clone? May have to look into it!

What's the quality like for $200?

Please keep us posted Burning - I am interested as well - been thinking iPad vs. clone but I would prefer something windows-based - mac os doesnt support some of my work-related programs.

I also want to be able to gamble using it ha online for kix.

Well..you get what you pay for. Don't expect the same quality as an ipad.

Some android apps do not work with the clone. It's more of a toy....

I don't really know, since I haven't received it yet..

I will post pictures of the item as soon as I get it, but it might take 7-14 days to receive it since the damn person sent it via China Post. I'm sure I can get it for free, but I'm an honest ebayer...

Check on youtube for video's..

Type is ZT-180...

There are many video and reviews on this baby!

Android OS is pretty versatile so you should get some use out of it. Not sure what apps would be crippled, its sort of open source. Well, not really. But I cant see Google being able to cripple functions if you did a fresh Android install. My only experience with android is 1.5 so its a bit "last year"

But I was under the impression the hardware on the clones was pretty weak and thats the biggest concern, no?

Well..it all depends on the model you get. Some of the CRAPPY tablets are cheaply designed with very crappy firmware. Just make sure you get the latest android firmware along with tablet. The ZT-180 has 2.1 android firmware.

If you want a toy..then this is it! You can buy apps on the android market place. There are forums telling you what games work and which ones don't. Youtube works on it aswell, and the processor is pretty decent at 1 ghz...

The nice thing about Droid is its just an OS so you should be able to dump roms on there at will just like the phones. I have to assume there are folks making customized and optimized versions for them. It all boils down to how solid and reliable the hardware is. Could get some unstable operation.

Keep us posted. I was looking at these but was worried they wouldn't function well due to poor mainboards

Yes, you are correct. There are many forums online with people who have made and uploaded there custom OS. There's a forum called slatedroid or something like that. It's a whole forum dealing with these ipad clones...

The zt-180 is also easy to open up, some people have upgraded the battery aswell....

Has this arrived yet? I'm curious to see how it holds up...

Burning · #14 11-22-2010

Ehhhh..waiting for it to arrive. I should check my mail box..maybe it's there!

Burning · #15 11-22-2010

No item in the mail. : (

It might come a bit late, since it's from china and the person shipped it out via snail mail..

MadSam · #16 11-30-2010

Wow, it doesn't usually hit the super slow international mail period until at least December.

Still waiting for the time. Next time I suggest you pay $10 extra and get DHL or EMS...

MadSam · #18 12-03-2010

This person must be walking to Canada...

pod · #19 12-10-2010

You get this yet? Curious on quality...

jbluntz · #20 12-10-2010

I refused the item due to the fact that I realized that this item was useless for me and I had no need for one.

jbluntz · #22 12-10-2010

All that wait for nothing lol why was it useless? I was thinking about getting one myself. I wanted to see if I could download vmplayer use a linux flash drive and android tethering on it.
