Android tablet PC (up to $200 AUD) - recommendations anyone?

This one is exactly what I have. It's called HAIPAD M7. There are some reviews on youtube.
Spec say that it has 2x2200 Mah battery but it actually means 2200 Mah in total.



I bought this a few weeks ago for development and only now have some time to install SDK and learn.
It's definitely worth its money and even more.
All features are here and working. It is fast enough to run 3D games like Asphalt.
Now it's capable of OpenGL ES 1.1 but with Android 2.3 it will support OpenGL ES 2.0. Unofficial (and unstable) firmware with 2.3 already exists.

Nice! Thanks Mirarge for the "review"

I don't suppose you'd know if it is possible to upgrade it in the future if necessary (Android 3.0 comes to mind)?

Even if it isn't possible to upgrade, it sounds right up my alley, so to speak, especially with the 3d games...yay!

cheers,
Paul

Well, the only thing I can confirm is that dealextreme is legitimate (ordered stuff off there some half dozen times). The products it sells, on the other hand... the quality / marketing is up to you to decide. Usually they'll update the product info if people say they are getting different specs than advertised.
