sooo, ive got a couple of hundred £s and im looking at tablets
now i can get a sub £200 7" android 3.0 tablet, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd
or i can go £200 10.1", android 2.3, 1ghz, 8gb ram, wifi, mini usb, hdmi, 3g, microsd
now, should i go smaller screen, v3 android, or v2 larger screen...
...can (if the hardware supports it) v2.3 be updated to v3.0 later?

I think that no tabled have 8 GB of ram. Most have 8 of internal memory.

My recent blog post my help you choose a bit. I concentrated on 7" ones cause plan to buy one.
And tablet running 2.3 can be updated to newer versions if there will be vendor (or community) update.

Simple rule: avoid devices which do not have subforum here at XDA
this is all messed up! i can now find the same spec 7" for £150! the price range seems to be £60, £150, £450!
starting to love the galaxy tab 10.1 mind, but this seems to be the top end, and it seems a bit like buying a top end dell... it may be supercharged, but its still a dell!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am looking for a tablet for my family member but as there are many models with different features and sometime they overlap each other. Also price is a concern as I have budget of up to $160 (+/- $10).
As I search on net for tablets, lot of Chinese tablet came up with the price around my budget and many less than that. I summed up my search to Ainol tablets including Ainol Venus and Discover. But as I read the reviews regarding both tabs as well as other Ainol tabs, it seem as there is falling trend of quality or maybe they had such experience from having Ainol tablets.
So it would be very helpful if someone guide me in choosing a tablet from Ainol Venus or Discover or maybe better than both within my budget. Also there's another tab, Pipo S3 tablet as it is Dual Core whereas the above tabs are Quad Core. This is the another factor which made me confuse to decide for a tab. Either should I go for Dual Core or Quad Core? Please guide.
Tab with these features would be better:
7 or 8 inch, IPS screen would be plus, 16:9 screen ratio would be better, 1 GB or 2 GB DDRam, 16 GB internal memory, no GSM/3G required, bluetooth would be plus, dual camera (regardless of megapixels), Android 4.1/4.2, HDMI output, OTG port
Thanks in advance.
Hi people not sure if I'm even in the right section I have a TV mini pad running android and wanted to know what I could do with it?
Here is a run down of the device. It works well but wanted to know if there are people who can upgrade channel listings or even use these as mini computers its quite small but has loads of sockets and I thought I could eventually use it as a mini computer?
Anyone point me into the right section for TV Android?

I am looking for a new Smartphone and the MT6595 is very interesting.
But, I also want to use it with a Docking-Station for exp. with a external USB-DVB-S2-Tuner, USB-IRDA (Remote for XBMC), USB-HDD and so on.
The MT6595 and MT6795 supports 4K.
But I can't find informations for a Docking-Station with MHL 3.0.
The only "nearly" information I found is this:

Can someone please help?
Look out for the alcatel smartbook platform.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5zavjzwNH0
They said more info is to come in IFA (thats ~1.5 weeks away).
Even if the smartbook is locked down to alcatel/TCL only, it will be getting the 6595 in the first round of phones to be out, IFA should be very interesting this year.

Maybe I am blind, but I can't find informations about the Docking-Station or the MT6595 from the IFA-Feeds ...
There is a new MT6595M low budget phone called Vibe Z2. But nothing about the "MT6595", "MT6595-Turbo", MT6795 or the MHL 3.0 Docking-Station

Sadly, they don't know if it will come to market just yet.
Remember the laptop dock for Motorola's Atrix? Well, Alcatel is bringing it back, after a fashion. The company is still working on the SmartBook, an 11-inch "laptop" with a keyboard, trackpad and display that simply utilizes the power of the Hero 2 for its own ends. It works by pairing wirelessly with the phone over NFC, and then enables you to use a bigger display, mouse and keyboard for work and gaming. Unfortunately, the SmartBook isn't quite ready for prime time, and Alcatel will be hawking it around to various interested parties before deciding whether to bring it to market. If it does, however, then you can expect to pay €179 for it.

You're right about the new MT 6595 or 6795 phone(s), they haven't announced it just yet.
As the 3rd member of the Vorke family, the Vorke Z1 is going to be released in the near future. It will be loaded with Amlogic s912 chipset which is known for a maximum clock speed of up to 2.0GHz.

Amlogic S912
KODI 17.0
4K [email protected]
HDR Support
Dolby Vision
3GB DDR4/32GB eMMC
802.11AC WIFI

OTA Upgrade
The second half of 2016 had set to be an exciting time for MINI PC enthusiasts. Succeeding the VORKE V1 and V2 ultra compact MINI PCs, Vorke Z1 is unveiled to give us plenty to talk about – and these releases say a lot about what might be coming up in 2017.
Falied to be the first MINI PC that comes with DDR4 as RAM memory though, Vorke Z1 enjoys a performance ratio that is send to none. Why should we believe it`s going to do that here? Rather than the commonest MINI PC variant, it is designed to be the next generation TV box with much-anticipated specifications, Amlogic S912 chipset, 3GB/32GB storage, 4K video support, AC WIFI and Gigabit LAN, just to name a few.
First off, Vorke Z1 is an exquisite Android MINI PC processed by laser cutting for better durability and protection of the internal components. An external antenna is placed for stronger signal, despite which the 3GB higher data transfer DDR4 and 32GB eMMC are sure to make up for the deficiency in operation performance and space incurred in the 2GB DDR3L opponents, therefore users are privileged to enjoy movies or games without the least pressure.
Aside from the capability to compete with homogenous products, Vorke Z1 is also outfitted with the trendy Amogic S912 Quad Core processor featuring convincing processing performance and swift response. Teamed up with ARM-Mali T820MP3 GPU, the device is able to bring feature-rich complex graphics to mainstream consumers. The gadget also has its own external antenna which automatically boosts the signal receiving performance by 50%.
Pair Z1 with your compatible 4K UHD HDR TV, stream HDR-enabled movies and TV shows in spectacular 4K resolution from available 4K streaming apps. A powerful video decoder gives the best possible viewing experience with a pixel resolution quadruples that of Full HD. Vorke Z1 can handle VP9 [email protected] fps thanks to the Amlogic S912 processor, delivering vibrant, ultra-sharp image quality when you watch NBA live or play a racing game. This brings us to the final awesome feature of the Vorke Z1. In addition to the streaming options it offers, this particular device also delivers access to the Dolby @ Vision – stands out amongst the crowd of cropping-up technologies.
Design-wise, the Z1 is about as compact as its name would suggest. With a relatively small form factor of 130(5.1in)*109(4.3in)*249.4(9.4in), the Mini PC is basically a small gadget with an accompanying learning remote and its several connectivity ports at the side. These consist of 2 USB ports, a single HDMI 2.0 with CEC port, 1 MicroSD slot, 1 3.5mm MIC jack, 1 SPDIF, the power adapter and of course an Gigabit Ethernet connectivity slot. Users can also connect the it to the wider web via its built-in ac Wi-Fi capacity.
Overall, Vorke Z1 is more of a TV box than a soul mate. After a hectic day`s work, you get tired and would love to have some slight joy, it will come in handy. Power up, connect to your CEC enabled TV via HDMI, turn on Z1 and TV simultaneously with a single remote, connect WiFi or Ethernet, a world of wonder will be revealed in front of you.

It does not, if you want DVB functions, just get a separate tuner, u will get better signals.
A little bird told me that a new s912 tv box with DVB functions will come soon .
The features product are excellent, but, there is a official Vorke website for support e firmware upgrade?

I am thinking about buying the Vorke Z1 Android TV Box and I would like to know whether the SPDIF out supports Dolby and dts signals. (I would like to hook up the Vorke Z1 box with my sound system.) I can see in the specifications that it is "programmable with 7.1/5.1 down-mixing", but I am not sure what it exactly means. Do I have to install some applications to have dolby and dts sound, or does the Vorke Z1 support them right out of the box?
Best regards, Csanad Csikos
