One of the iPad competitors

In the ranks of tablet computers, had time to go on sale, there was a completion - a 7-inch tablet Maylong M-150 Android phones, which has prepared an overview of the blog ars Technica. In appearance it is very similar to the actual iPad, on the front panel even present the Home button. Powered Maylong M-150 based on 400- or 533-megahertz processor ARM9, it contains 256 MB 2GB of RAM and flash memory. This device used a resistive touch screen with a resolution of 800 × 480 dots, there Wi-Fi module, USB-port, and embedded on the front chamber (but not indicated in the specifications).
In words, the description of the gadget and even at the price of $ 99 is quite tolerable. What can be said after use. Employees Ars Technica site tested the Maylong M-150, and strongly discouraged to buy this device - it is better to burn money. So from them though the heat will be.
In practice Maylong M-150 proved to be plastic and very light in weight, which creates the impression of its low cost and low quality. Resistive touchscreen display responds to your touch could not be bad. As a result, it is unclear whether the running application unit loads (and very slowly), or the user simply did not get the desired menu item or a virtual button. The stylus is supplied in the kit, and especially does not help. In addition, Maylong M-150 is not provided for its storage slot, so that it is easy to lose.
The display itself turned out to be of poor quality and very flexible (scary squeeze the device in hand, it seems that it will break). But as his sensory nature, reacts to touch it poorly - you have to press strongly on the screen with your finger or the stylus is at the risk of damaging it.
Job applications - a separate issue. Integrated in Maylong M-150 programs are run and functioning with difficulty, and download others from the App Market store is not possible - the device reports that there is no connection to its wireless network Wi-Fi. (In fact, with Wi-Fi is all right, the problem is the tablet.) The failure suffered and all attempts to send a pill email.
Photos taken with the built-in camera is not of high quality. And if you try to edit them in the appropriate application, the program only applies to pictures ugly frame. Good quality, however, turned out to be screenshots, which you can do by clicking on the eye icon in the menu bar. But this icon, unfortunately, it appears and disappears in different applications, so the screenshots can only be done selectively.
file transfer on a USB flash drive hook works very badly. The same can be said about the battery charge - he barely kept an hour in the mode of active use while the Wi-Fi. The Maylong M-150 battery standby time is also not up to the stated 2-3 hours.
In general, it is not clear to whom this gadget is designed. After all, every self-respecting member (with plans for the Tablet PC) agrees to be patient and save up money to buy a decent model, instead of just throw $ 99 on Maylong M-150. Here it is - the Chinese, "gesture" in the fact that neither has a rabid form. Buying something similar or even more expensive device basement production China, be prepared for disappointment.
