Outside where? I am interested in getting one.

Wow, good news, what the OS, is it Froyo?

Multi touch means "pinch and zoom" right?
Does it come with SD card?
What is the resolution?

I think the 600 hertz processor is too slow to drive this tablet

Hey, don't forget the Streak, oso can make call ma.
All the software developers are very busy changing their software to cater for the coming explosion of tablets, if u buy now u will have to endure some are not compatible.
If u wait further then Gingerbread will be the better OS for tablets, but then again I CANNOT wait ma. Imagine all the fun and thrill I miss while waiting, so I just got hold of a CSL MI 700. Really love it, wow playing NEED FOR SPEED Shift is really exciting and fun, just try it and u will know what I am talking about.
I am surprise that web browsing using Dolphin HD was really snappy, just luv it that 600 Mhz is not a problem maybe save by Froyo.
Problem now, still no Flash cos still in beta stage........ ah ya cannot play texas poker in facebook.

RM 1599 but I paid RM 1700 for an extra 16G sd card instead of the 4G in the package with a TECH bluetooth clip-on hand-free included free of charge.

Ya, malaysian product sort of, I think manufactured in China by Foxcomm but packaged and rebrand by CSL with some of their own software. I could be wrong, maybe manufactured here by CSL cos they are also manufacturing the JooJoo tablet by Fusion of Singapore. Actually u don't need these software cos Google market place got plenty and better ones. But u do need the local warranty and service if anything happens to your set. I registered online and got 6 months extra ie 1 1/2 year warranty. The service center in Low Yat is quite good, they attend to some minor problem in my MapKing gps software.

FB games cannot be played as CSL cannot support flash at the moment. Flash on android is still in beta phase, hopefully they will sort out the technical details.
I dont know about RS, but I have dl from MU and FS using this device.

Just came back from Low Yat, There will be a roadshow on the Droidpad, ground floor main lobby starting on the 4th Oct for a week. Don't know this info from the sales rep in one of their outlet, is reliable or not.

You have to go to setting and check " enable video" before you can start video call.

I have only tried the test video call in fring. It is working fine in the test video call. I have not tried video call with any fring contact yet.

Video Call On Droidpad Update

Tried with raoul but was unsuccessful, the audio was very noisy and cracky, video wise, I only saw some cars on the road as raoul was driving and his camera was set on the back camera and not the front.

Tried again with my son's iphone4, I told him to dl Fring from apple store. Both Droidpad and Iphone4 on wifi, audio was manageable but video is laggy and jerky. With Iphone4 on 3g both audio and video same quality as wifi. You see Fring give this as free service but they just introduced Fring Out service which is a paid service, US 1-3 cents per minutes and they promised better audio and video.

Conclusion, yes Droidpad can do video calls but the Fring free service is something to be desired meaning u r discouraged to use because of its poor quality. Their trick is u be forced to switch to fring out, the paid service. Better wait for Skype video call on android as they just introduced audio call on android.

Video Call Coming To An Android Near You - Reuters

New Yahoo app to challenge Apple FaceTime on iPhone
Oct 7, 2010 18:52 EDT

Yahoo videochat : Apple has based a great deal of its iPhone 4 marketing blitz around its so-called FaceTime video calling technology.

But Yahoo is about to challenge Apple for the mobile video calling crown, with plans to brings video chat to iPhones and Android-based phones via its popular Yahoo Messenger instant messaging service.

During a briefing with Reuters on Thursday, David Katz, Yahoo’s VP of Mobile for the Americas region, let it slip that the company will soon be offering mobile app versions of Yahoo Messenger with built-in video calling capabilities.

That car charger in the Droidpad package is not the correct car charger. Before this I am using the same charger in my car for another handphone bought for RM 10/- and it is for charging batteries of not more than 500 mha. The Droidpad battery is more than 4300 mha how to charge with such a low capacity charger.

Either CSL or the dealer has pull a fast one on to customers like us, real cheap sakes. If u want to charge in the car then it is advisable to purchase a proper charger to match the high capacity of the the Droidpad battery.

I remember reading the 2 holes on the top next to the speakers are meant for accessories makers to attach their pads/plastic covers onto the Droidpad.

Added on October 12, 2010, 5:57 pmI think the Droidpad needs to have a proper car charger and not use the one provided in the package.

Pre-packaged one outputs at 500 mA, ie 0.5 Amp at 5 volts.

Proper one should outputs at 2 Amp at 5 volts (same as the house charger) ie 4 times the power of the pre-packaged one.

Went to Mid Valley to check on car charger, found the proper one outputting at 2 Amp at 5 volts costing RM 69. Did not buy for I think Low Yat should sell cheaper. Will pick one in Low Yat on the next trip there as the heavy use in the car makes it a must in any outstation trip.

I had bad experience buying from the shops in Low Yat. My trouble started with changing the 4G to 16G sd card. That stupid sales rep did not copy all the files (miss those hidden files) from the original 4G sd to the new 16G sd, resulting in my GPS Mapking not functioning. I had to go back the next day only to have the sale rep telling me to send it to the CSL service center also in Low Yat luckily. Fortunately, that Mr. Chin from the service center was very helpful and I got it fixed the same day. Now I now that it is better to buy with local warranty if not u may have to wait a few weeks to get it fix with other brands.

Sorry I did not ask about the yearly subscription of Mapking. All I know is that you can keep using it if you do not want the new updated map.

Added on October 12, 2010, 9:42 pmGot good news for those who want to maximize the use of the Droidpad by rooting it. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793071

Perhaps vckc4ever could put the rooting instructions in the first post like the other threads.

After some struggle and help from Erlern and Abasir, finally got my Droidpad rooted. The rooting was easy but steps 5, 6 & 7 using dos in the command prompt was the tough part as I don't use dos just windows, u know click click click only. Scrolling, pinch & zoom and some application are smoother less jerky now. Hopefully can help prolong my battery life. Now learning how to use Move2sd, maybe some sifu can help to free some phone memory.

Today went to LowYat and bought a proper car charger outputting at 2A @ 5 volts. Very satisfied with the performance as battery indicator shows increase battery % instead of decreasing % using the pre-package charger. It is a china clone made for Black Berry phones costing only RM 30/- only. Now I don't have to worry about battery life while on the move. Life is wonderful again.

Never like using Mapking the map is outdated and always choose the wrong route for me. Don't know how much per year but if u don't update the map can use forever. I am using Papago only problem the screen is not full screen but usable, I love using it, never go lost with it. Maybe later they will come out with a proper full screen resolution for this device as the Samsung Galaxy Tab gain popularity.

Slighty more half. It is X5 only portrait mode.

The price is RM 1599 and please read the first post on the first page. There are links to detail description of this device.
