Recently my personal assistant and I made a trip to the AiShuo factory to try to get some answers to all the QC problems of late. Armed with both technical and non-technical questions, I was determined to try to get to the bottom of the issues with the MID816/A816 and other AiShuo made tablets. Read on to find out what we discovered (or didn't).

We’ve called 8” 4:3 aspect ratio tablets the “Goldilocks” of tablet sizes before and the Herotab 816 doesn’t disappoint. It’s also the first tablet we’ve seen that piles on Android 2.2 over a Samsung ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHz processor platform.  Its unique design has the same finish as the new Chrome CR-48 notebook for a consumer friendly but rugged appeal.

Although your new Android Tablet (or phone/media player) comes with the rather lovely open source Android operating system from Google it may not have come with the rather convenient Android Application store, and even if it did some of the applications on the market may be blocked from use by your mobile carrier (only applicable to those devices using SIM cards and data connection).

So what do you do if you want to fill your memory card full of the latest and greatest Android apps, but don’t have access (or limited access) to the official Android Market?

If you’re a fan of the iPad but are looking for something running Android and cheaper there is a good chance you’ll want to take a close look at the Herotab M10. We gave it our own unofficial “Best iPad Clone for 2010” award based on the creators “Apple-like” attention to design detail; but what’s the actual performance like?
