I have now expired this deal as they increased the price and the tablet is now cheaper from BuyInCoins

See THIS POST for delivery estimate for those that ordered.

Pre-order the latest seven inch tablet from Ainol.

CPU: Amlogic 8726-M6, 1.5GHz, Cortex-A9 dual core
GPU: Mali-400
OS: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
RAM: 1GB (DDR 3), 8GB Nand Flash
7 Inch Capacitive MVA 5 point Multi-Touch Screen, 1024 x 600px 170° visible angle

The rest of the specs are on the website link for the deal.

This tablet is a new model purported to replace the Elf II. Oddly it says it a pre-order but it also says they have stock. I don't know which is correct.

Some other Ainol tablets are also decently priced:

Ainol Crystal $117.28USD PRICE INCREASED SINCE DEAL POSTED
Ainol Aurora II White $117.75USD also Black
Ainol Fire $158.99USD - on promotion already, code does not work
Ainol Elf II $101.93USD

Please note that ALL of the above tablets are now cheaper in THIS DEAL

          I purchased it a few hours ago and haven't received a message. I notice that the product is no longer available, lets hope they honour it!

        • infinity89 on 19/09/2012 - 00:22

          in the end, they couldn't honour it for me. they offered best price of $US162.50 each for DHL shipping and $US157.5 for non-DHL shipping.

          hope they honour it for you guys

        I bought mine from this store :

        http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Eternal-Ainol-Novo-7-Fire-Fla…

        I had a long chat with the representative online and understand that they are a new store and are trying to build up some reputation and collect some good feedback on Aliexpress, so assured me of the "quality service" (that I assume means prompt despatch and a free screen protector).

        I hope I do receive my tab soon !

        • infinity89 on 19/09/2012 - 02:03

          I've been spending way too much time trying to purchase Ainol tablets today haha. I don't think you will be getting the Fire tablet, he mentioned he made a big mistake. The ad was suppose to be for Tornado model instead. He said Fire model was 188. So he mentioned he is going to get you to cancel it.

          Thats what he said to me

        • batrarobin on 19/09/2012 - 08:06

          You mean…the store where I ordered it from ? Or the one where you ordered from ?

        • infinity89 on 19/09/2012 - 10:57

          The store where you bought from. I ended up buying tablets from two different stores, both of which stuffed it up for me.

          Definitely check your order is ok with that guy Brucee. Maybe he just didn't want to give me the price

        • batrarobin on 19/09/2012 - 11:00

          Yeah I just received an email from Brucee ..saying they can not fulfill my order….So I am requesting a cancellation of order now :(

          Need to go to some reputed seller…One of the Ozbargainers recommended Elijah as a store on Aliexpress…might give them a try.

    Just got the 7" Ainol tablet…. I wonder if it comes with a protective sleve….. ;)

    Anyway, seriously. I just did buy it. For $100 I thought why not. Anyone find out if they are actually in stock or is it a pre order?

    • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2012 - 10:33

      It's a pre order that ships out later this month.

        Got contacted by Alice from Lightake and advised they'll get stock on the 15th of October and ship from that date.

          By that time, it might not be a bargain anymore ! :)

        • sarakoth on 21/09/2012 - 12:57

          Nicole told me 1-2 weeks but maybe she was being hopefully rather than giving me a specific date. Not much we can do I guess.

          Release has been pushed back a week because they found an issue with the IPS screen when they started production.

          I'm worried that the 45 day Paypal protection is going to run out way before I get the product…

  • sarakoth on 19/09/2012 - 15:08

    Hmmm… that is not what the item description said… it said 3-5 days!! Grrr….

  • canusich on 30/09/2012 - 10:02

    I just got an email last night saying the item has been shipped.

    Woo!! :D

      Anyone got theirs yet… I got sent the email as well, but I paid extra for DHL shipping and while they sent me a tracking number, it still hasn't come up on the DHL tracking site with that number.. I am very dubious it has even been sent..

      • canusich on 03/10/2012 - 08:36

        I'm in the same boat mate. Paid the extra $10 to get it shipped sooner, have the number but nothing shows up on the DHL site.

        Personally if nothing has shown up by Friday I'll contact lighttake.

        • sarakoth on 03/10/2012 - 10:19

          I contacted them already but there is some holiday season/festival on and they are only back at work tomorrow I think. I am hoping that the same goes for the DHL staff, so it just means nothing has been put into the system as yet, but probably means it also wont even start it's journey until tomorrow, so probably arrive Monday or Tuesday next week.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2012 - 14:49

          It's my understanding that the package travels from Lightake's warehouse in mainland China to Hong Kong. From there it gets put into the DHL system and it shows up in tracking for the first time.

          The problem is the initial trip to Hong Kong. The border is only open for freight in normal business hours (daytime). I also think it's closed on public holidays (National holiday the last two days).

          I was expecting the tracking to come online today but so far that hasn't happened :(
          Once DHL has the package in HK, it shouldn't take more than a day or so to get here.

  • sarakoth on 08/10/2012 - 19:03

    Received mine today. Now to work out how to make it work properly!!! :)

  • dnnnnnnnnng on 19/10/2012 - 20:10

    got mine this week, working very well so far - glad it came with an OTG cable too
