So what is it? It\’s a tablet called the C71 built by ZeniThink, sold under various names.

ZeniThink appears to be competing in the cheap Android space, and some of their models have some real design flair to them.

Zenithink were one of the first Android tablet makers in China, and were responsible for the original Android ePad almost 2 years ago.

The C71 is their cheapest unit, and it also happens to be the unit the highly anticipated KDE Spark Tablet will be built around.

Pros:

Price. $150 shipped.
802.11n
Very current Android
Ships Rooted!
Screen is bright
5-Point Capacitive Touchscreen
HDIMI Out
VERY easy to re-flash. Just hold down Power and Volume Down at boot.

Cons:

There is no GPS, which is not uncommon for a 7 inch without 3G, but I would have liked it.
There is no bluetooth, which would have been nice.
No 3G
Vertical viewing angle is limited.
4GB of Storage, makes it tight for apps. Gonna need a TF Memory Card
Speaker on the Back, so audio is always away from you.

Build Quality

You can\’t complain much at $150. But it feels very sturdy, but a bit cheap. Some dirt under the screen (very noticeable in one spot) and light bleed from the LEDs.

Battery:

3000mAh
Music: About 8 hours
Video: About 3-4 hours
Standby: About two days

A Different Tactic:

Unlike Apple, Motorola, Samsung, and many others. ZeniThink is going for the direct sale, and white label approach. Mine was labeled and sold as the UPAD

Find out how easy it is to install Ice Cream Sandwich on your PC, why you might want to do it, and what you can do with it! Plus an easy way to run Android in VirtualBox, and how to get Ethernet support under Android.

How to get started?

  1. These are the officially supported devices, but Android-x86 should work on others too. An old list of supported devices / hardware can be found HERE.

Android-x86 4.0 has been tested / it should work on MSI 110W, Asus EeePC or some Asus laptops/tablets and Tegav2.

  1. Download UNetbootin to flash the ISO image to a thumb drive. Or you can burn the ISO image to a CDROM.

  2. Boot and enjoy! If you like it, reboot and select the install option.

A couple Android-x86 4.0 (ICS) tips:

  • *When using it in VirtualBox, make sure you select \”Disable Mouse Integration\”
  • *Disable screen autorotate from the Android-x86 settings, or else some application might rotate it for you (and that\’s quite annoying if your device doesn\’t support it)

Chakra Project Review, IE Arch Made Easy:

Pacman vs Ports

  • Pacman is the binary package tool for Arch Linux. The FreeBSD equivalent is pkg_add
  • the Arch Build System (ABS) is designed to mimic some of the capabilities of FreeBSD’s ports system
  • Both Ports and ABS consist of a number of directories named after various packages sorted into categories (ie ABS: extra/daemons/apache Ports: www/apache22). These directories do not contain the files or source code for firefox, but rather just a few script files that provide the infrastructure to allow you to build firefox.
  • Both Ports and ABS automate the process of building software, including the following steps:
  • Download source code from mirrors
  • Checksum the file (for security and integrity)
  • Extract the files
  • Apply any required patches (FreeBSD changes the default paths for a lot of apps to follow the FreeBSD directory structure)
  • Run the configure script (FreeBSD provides a text based menu for selecting options)
  • Compile the application
  • BSD ONLY: Install the application
  • BSD ONLY: checksum all the files that were installed
  • BSD ONLY: Uninstall the application (remove any unmodified files using checksums from earlier)
  • Create a package that can be installed (with pacman or pkg_add respectively)
  • ABS is only a build system used to build packages, that are then installed and managed by pacman
  • Ports is integrated with pkg_add and the package registry, and allows you to install the build application without the additional step of building a package.
