  These were all brand new in the box, at both stores… And they had quite a number at Mudgeeraba. I grabbed one, figure I can take it back if I don't like it. So far it seems quite nice to use, especially for its price bracket.

  There's no HDMI socket, but there is an FM Radio that wasn't mentioned. It can act as a hotspot as well. Has screen casting, but isn't that a Kitkat feature?

    How does it look in portrait mode? I want a cheap low-spec tablet for reading comics and stuff but most TFT tablets I've seen look horrid in portrait.

        @roseyhead: HP Touchpad. If you can find one that is.. Probably on ebay. 9.7" screen. Super easy to put android on it now, then you've got the full play store.

        Oh, and they support wireless charging. Pretty sweet unit, shame they abandoned them!

        @ryang: Can you recommend a process for this? I have had one for ages, but was too lazy to put Android on it as it was doing what I needed, but the browser is starting to let me down and HP are pulling the pin in the store so I figure now is a good time

        @Jackson: Google Touchpad Toolbox, by the excellent jscullins. Does everything for you, except download the files!

        I did it the hard way years ago, but used TPToolbox last time I updated. Super easy!!

      You get two months to return it, no questions asked…
      Is not a hi res screen but it's not bad. Speed of the thing is pleasantly surprising.

  I was thinking this would make a good GPS for use in car. With a large 9" screen. Just not sure how good or loud the speaker is. Although from previous coments on Ozbargain and Whirlpool screen does not have a very good contrast and videwing angle. But for the price it may be worth a look.

  Aldi Fairy Meadow (Woollongong NSW area) had stocks of these as of yesterday Sunday 9th November.

  Since their "mega clearance" sale has ended, the price has reverted to $89.

  Some other Aldis had the price tag showing $74.99 in the glass display cabinet, but no stock. Above branch definitely has multiple units, according to helpful manager.
