If these are shipped from within the UK and avoid import duty that's a very good price.

I've been thinking about getting a tablet, since Gingerbread on my Pandora wiped my SD card. I've several Android apks from Humble Bundles. This looks quite a nice option

ithink thats with import tax added as 160 dollars is certainly noy 137 pounds

My brother is after one of these... I'm tempted but - My Pandora does what I need so I'd be buying a new gadget for buy a new gadgets sake... so I will resist...

Someone at the german boards has one of these already and mentioned that both the OS and the build quality is terrible. Sometimes the DPad even registers a complete different direction than the one you pressed.

 

[SNESFAN]

the 7300 had that issue as well, it was something to do with putting the dpad and left analog on the same leads and only changing the values that were registered on the inputs.

While the price is good, and it's always nice to have alternatives to play around with, I just can't see myself going back to JXD anytime soon. That iben L1 is starting to look rather good though.

 

[ThinkPad]

Yeah, the iBen looks superior, specially the design it just looks flawless.

 

[monstercameron]

the gamepad 2 looks pretty sweet too...

 

[EssoAir]

The CraigxPad looks pretty good. the Kickstarter just launched and he said it will be in everyone's hands by Christmas so thats good!

 

[levi]

Yeah, the iBen looks ideal for people with fingers that curve sideways.

I've been playing a lot on mine. This never happened to me. Also, both the d-pad and analog sticks are pretty decent, imo.

 

[CAZMIESTER]

Acid are the analogs clickable

Nope.

How do these gaming tablets compare to holding a controller?

They look quite cumbersome with the hands so wide apart.

Well I guess similar to the Wii U pad - which I find quite comfortable.

It's ok. I wasn't expecting it to be as big as it is, so when it arrived I was pretty surprised. Still, holding it feels pretty comfortable. It's a bit unwieldy in some situations due to it's size, but the controls feel pretty good.
