Many when they see the word china and tablet in the same sentence, grab the gun. In fact, not everything is so bad in heaven. There are more and more new devices and faster processors, high-quality screens with large batteries. I once bought a tablet ZT-180 and in general was pleased with the purchase. But still the resistive screen, the ARMv6 processor and the viewing angles finished off my toad and I bought an
iPad Gpad Gforce. And actually what's the salt% username%?
As is well known salt in the salt shaker. And in Gpad Gforce, the following things are observed:
- Processor: FreeScale iMX 515 800 MHz (ARMv7)
- Memory: 512MB
- Flash Memory: 8Gb
- WiFi 802.11b / g
- Accelerometer
- 2 megapixel front camera
- Touch screen: 9.7 inches, capacitive, IPS, 1024x768
- Battery: 7200MAh
- MicroSD card slot
The most interesting thing here is the screen. It is really capacitive, there really is multitouch support. But besides that, a bold processor that can turn a flash, it is by the way out of the box. Angry Birds do not slow down :) Well, now slides.
The first slide is our box.
Look at Yandex. PhotosThe box is made of high quality and durable, so that there is no need to fear for the device during shipment. Additionally, this box is wrapped in foam plastic and put in a simple cardboard box.
Inside the box is another box of thick cardboard, and in it is this box
Look at Yandex. PhotosWell, the device itself lies in a pimply bag, with a film and lined with shock absorbers.

With the device comes two tails, headphones with a 2.5mm jack, power supply
Look at Yandex. PhotosThere is also such a nice case of leather from a rare beast of dermantine and a film for the screen.
Look at Yandex. PhotosTurn on and look at the screen
Look at Yandex. PhotosScreen closer. I shoot at a fairly strong angle, on the ZT-180 would have already seen strong color distortion
Look at Yandex. PhotosOpen the photo and look at the screen again.
Look at Yandex. PhotosGo to the ends. The device has a position lock on top and a typical rocker not for sound.
Look at Yandex. PhotosThe position locker does a pretty tricky thing. It completely turns off the accelerometer :)
On the right side there is a speaker grid, a power supply for the power supply and a USB port like the iPad
Look at Yandex. PhotosOn the opposite side there is a plug, near which there is an on / off button and a 2.5mm headphone input. If you remove the cap, you can see the unsoldered SIM card slot and MicroSD slot
Look at Yandex. PhotosYes, on the cover of the device there is such an engraving.
Look at Yandex. PhotosI note that it is, on new devices. On the old logo was missing. You can glue the apple from the iPad kit for example;)
With the appearance of probably finish. Now go to the software. First of all, we take the browser and open
Habrahabr
Look at Yandex. PhotosAnd then go to the desktop youtube and look there "Aybolita"
Look at Yandex. PhotosI note that while the device plays video without problems, but switching to other tasks becomes difficult.
We close youtube and go to watch live video from the camera.
Look at Yandex. PhotosIf anyone is interested in the area of Kurgan. This closes the browser.
And the Android Market opens
Look at Yandex. PhotosThe market is official and working. I put Angry Birds, Flash 10.2, FbReader, Adobe Reader from there, and a bunch of small programs like changing screen brightness, turning on / off WiFi.
We now turn to the system. Apparently the device uses Android 2.2 and kernel 2.6.31
Look at Yandex. PhotosIt looks like Fbreader
Look at Yandex. PhotosFbreader closer
Look at Yandex. PhotosWell, a little about my impressions of the device. This tablet works much faster than the ZT-180, which I had before the GPad, a newer processor affects, especially noticeable when opening sites. The screen as I have already noticed is much better and most importantly 4: 3. You can read PDF in portrait mode! I can’t say anything about the battery, but it’s stated 6-8 hours with WiFi, which is very good. The sensor is responsive and do not press on the screen with all your might :)
Where to buy this thing? On pandawill. Its price is 300 bucks. Yes, it is already close to the price of the iPad, but unlike the iPad, it is bought and sent without any problems :)
