Ainol Novo 7 Paladin vs Huawei Mediapad

The version of Huawei that I bought. The new series will boast three different types of color.. but this one the cover is quite cool though and sleek and robust feel as well.
Currently one of the best budget tablet.. running on wifi.. surprisingly strong signal and bang for the bucks.

There is something in my mind that I need to prove for sometime now. I need a tablet.. after keeping my hand on two 10 inches Ipad 2.. I am sold. its one of those thing that you want and like to have and couple with other reasons to own it. That itself is very much self -selling prophecy. However I am greedy and I want all of it in one. I am looking for a phone tablet as well.

A year ago I won't even think at looking as it as I think it is rather stupid to have something so huge to make call. Well, we change over the course of growing up and understanding.

I was looking for something to reward myself for my birthday. Then was reading about the Ainol Novo 7 Paladin which you can get online for USD89 only!! WTF.. so as I check locally the price hover around RM400. So was quite impress with it and the setback gotta be runnning on MIPS chip.. but it really energy efficient. of course it is purely an android tablet running on WIFI with no camera or no gps. for that fraction of a price.. what can we ask more right... then the other features are quite impressive. Thinking to myself.. at such a price.. surely lotsa private developer would want to lay their hand and put down the gauntlets and at the same time crusade their skills and fulfill certain charitable and yet noble private firmware update to benefit all.

s0 i make the guts and go get it from one of the online reseller.. well, don't really like it for my first sight. Damn.. it has that edge slightly cliff off the plastic.. so the handheld feeling already off the grid. The 800x480 was really rubbish!! Well, beggar can't be chooser. It has its selling point. I was busy searching for few updates and try to make work around burning midnight oil..

Luckily the 4.0.3 version came on shore and have it updated.. viola...huge improvement! I guess this is not the complete version but magicode has able it to run quite decently on youtube and the graphic see such a huge improvement!

Well, having the Novo 7 paladin prove that it is not enough for me.. and it also prove that I am comfortable to have this as my mobile phone device. Hook it up with a bluetooth headset and viola I am ready to go.

The search is prone towards Huawei mediapad which offer phone call. Other than that, there are also other cheaper version with older set and resistive screen.. wtf!! So the more popular choice would be the samsung galaxy 7.0 plus which has quite an identical. I mingle a little bit with it which a kiosk was selling at a reasonable price. However the software respond is kinda slow.

The media bad does offer a slightly better resolution and by nature it is not a tablet phone. Some other interface on phone calling you need to play with it. well not be fear, the ICS I believe should work around more phone call friendly. Having playing around with it for few days. I am quite please with the phone call quality and also overall stability. It is really solid and as many label it as a mini ipad with I does agree to a certain point. Robust and state of the art clean and slick feel. That's what I like. Feel like cuddle this baby to sleep that sort of thing. The only downside coming from good old nokia user is the battery life which hope could be longer. Well, still bearable at the moment. Other than that, praises are to be sing for this device. I could work better with it. Happy to read text and graphic from it. Browse site faster, read better, identify pics in great details. One glance for all info and much much more.

Hopefully the new official ICS will promise a better interface and user experience. Perhaps the price could be much lower and this will be a sure wnner!!
