    Awesome deal. Got one thank you. I bought 7" and then I changed my order to 10".

    10" seems satisfy my need more and has 1024 x 768 resolution(not HD though). =)

      I wouldn't be too quick purchasing it, the reviews for the 10" tablet is fairly poor:
      http://tech2.in.com/reviews/tablets/msi-windpad-enjoy-10-rev…

      • ryantan1121 on 05/03/2012 - 12:36

        I believe those reviews are based on the higher price. When you pay this tablet for $300 and comparing it to asus transformer. Of course this will make windpad like shit. When this come to 50% off, I will give it a shoot since I only use it for normal usage like reading book, simple application etc.

    Blonde moment - Could I stick my Telstra 3G modem into this tablet?

    • anthman on 05/03/2012 - 11:56

      prob not - first off, its a mini-usb port, not full sized. Also, not sure if you would need USB OTG to do this.

      • Belistic on 05/03/2012 - 11:58

        Could I bluetooth it to my laptop and use the modem that way?

        • anthman on 05/03/2012 - 12:02

          what you could do is;
          1. connect the modem to your laptop and connect to Telstra
          2. bridge your wifi with your nextg modem (unconfirmed)
          3. connect via ad-hoc network (laptop as adhoc or access point) and share internet.

      • ubhishek on 05/03/2012 - 11:59

        • hambuger on 05/03/2012 - 14:24

          That's a completely different model. This has an ARM processor so in theory it could work but that model has a different processor.

      • CyberGenesys on 05/03/2012 - 13:12

        So close to buying then discovered AMD z01 is clock @ 1ghz dual core, just a bit to low for my tastes (when running windows)

        • brent3000 on 05/03/2012 - 13:27

          Runs ok… FOr the Tablets as welll most are around the 1GHz marker… (Its good enough for the price when compared to the Iconia :) )

          For me its a good 1st tablet for Windows 8 testing :)

    Does anyone know how Skype preforms on this?
    I'm getting conflicting results on Google.

    • hambuger on 05/03/2012 - 12:10

      The specs are better than my phone and it runs just fine on that (700mhz ARM CPU) so you should be fine.

      • Zero on 05/03/2012 - 14:40
        -6

        Thanks for the reply but that not really what I asked. I'm looking for someone that KNOWS if Skype will run properly. I've read plenty of comments about how this thing doesn't, does without video and does run. I'm trying to find out for sure, not guesses.
        As for the specs thing, it doesn't really make much of a difference. My lower spec tablet runs Skype fine where the higher spec ones at work don't at all. It comes down to the individual device.

    The screen resolution is… meh. But the price is irresistable!

    Does Ice Cream Sandwich work on these tablets? Hopefully somebody is cooking up a Rom for it.

    Note: the reviews for the 10" tablet isn't exactly glowing.. Probably give it a miss and get the Ainol Aurora tablet instead.

    • ryantan1121 on 05/03/2012 - 12:26

      That review is based on Euro $300(AUD$369). Now we are talking about Euro $150 (AUD$175). It's 50% off.

    • iChopstick on 05/03/2012 - 12:29

      That's what's stopping me from jumping on it like the mytab (existing working Roms) and HP Touch (progress made on Android port)

      Was not able to find a half decent Rom for it, if any at all.

      Doesn't seem to be a way to root it either. Read on XDA that the usual z4root, gingerbreak doesn't work,
      and since MSI doesn't give the usb driver, can't root using superoneclick.

      PS: For all I know, Rom development for the device will flourish with the increase in user base after this sale, but at this stage, it's close to zero.

        Thats $250 in USA when it releases. If it makes it to Australian shores, it will probably be a good $350, unless you want to import from the USA and have no local warranty (unless Asus offer international warranty?).

    Edit: someone said there is access to Google Market. Anyway, has bought one, will figure it out later:-)

    • Trojan on 05/03/2012 - 14:12

      Why would a manufacturer produce an Android 2.3 tablet with no Google Market access?
      I'm going to return mine if there is no way to install it.

      • Forgot69 on 05/03/2012 - 14:48
        +1

        From my understanding Android is open source (read: "free") but the the Google Apps (GAPPS) aren't. Essentially a manufacturer will need to pay (per unit produced?) to have access to the Android Market, Maps, Gmail, etc. Can anyone confirm that?
        So you can easily pick out the cheap arse manufacturers/tablets if they don't include GAPPS. Unless you can flash the market on to a tablet and get root access easily I'd be disinclined to touch it with a barge pole!

    • brent3000 on 05/03/2012 - 12:35

    • ESEMCE on 05/03/2012 - 12:50

      EDITED for clarity:
      There are a number of MSI tablets for sale at BigW as mentioned in other posts above.
      The $350 windows Tablet (http://www.bigw.com.au/electronics/computers-office/ipad-tab…) has an x86 AMD processor and a 32Gb SSD.
      The 7" and 10" Android versions have an ARM CPU and 4Gb NAND Chip.
      So completely different hardware…
      Windows doesn't run on ARM yet, so no, you can't install windows to the ARM tablets and probably wont be able to in the future either.
      The Windows Tablet is kinda tempting especially with Windows 8 Consumer Preview out!

      • jakentta on 05/03/2012 - 14:00

        Windows 8 DOES add support for ARM processor architecture.

          +1

          Correct, but for Dual Cores or higher as I understand it
          Plus the bootloader on the ARM versions is locked and noone has managed/tried to unlock it yet, so even if it could run Win8 ARM, you couldn't install it!
