Great review. I was thinking of getting the Cube also but there doesn't seem to be any sellers in Malaysia. Onda vi40 also looks nice but prices have been going up a lot recently.

Just wanted to ask a quick question. How do you find using the Cube to read pdf's, ebooks and/or comics. Main reason for me to get a tablet is because I think it's easier to read than on an LCD screen.

i found seller here, but the price far too expensive, it was somewhere at 1000 - 1200 in lowyat and lelong. fortunately i can get a cheap one from china. risk of warranty lo..
u can simply installed a cracked apps expdf reader to read pdf, comics, epub...no worry
the size of this tablet is just nice for reading book..

but ipad2 price is dropping to 1200 now, might consider it again.

Tumpang tanya, if want to transfer files from PC to Ipad - easy or hard? Seems like very hard.

All my files are PC based - movies, comics and pdf, dunno whether easy to transfer. Seems like USB port also cannot use? True?

Depends on price lor. On a tight budget, just want to use to read e-book mainly. blush.gif

Hope the unit so far is ok, cos' definitely no warranty liao... once u pass to me. If you're planning to buy Ipad2, no point hanging on to the Cube right. Hope you are in KL, cos can COD mah rclxms.gif

Hey, thanks for the kind offer. I think it would be troublesome for you and your friend to do this. But if you ever plan to sell your Cube or get your friend to get another one, let me know. Maybe I can tumpang. biggrin.gif

to revise my review of the Cube U9GT2, just after flash with new firmware:

50s to turn it on..

Cons:
1. lagging sometimes
2. short battery life ~6hours with wifi on
3. Android 4.0 - can't move the apps from RAM to SD card - it is solved now by flashing with the new moage 4.35 firmware
4. Android 2.3 - need to use physical buttons to home or back (but this can be resolved by installing Button Savier 1.41, you can get virtual buttons on screen) - ignore this if using Android 4.0
5. low volume even set to high
6. quite heavy to carry while reading or playing games, hands will feel tired.

Hehe... don't poison me-lar ... I'm trying to avoid tablets for a while cos' I think prices will go down once they solve the shortage of IPS screens.

But... can't resist.... blush.gif

How much did it cost you overall i.e. RM800++ just for Cube or did you manage to snag other goodies as well i.e. kickstand keyboard, sd card, cover etc.

Hehe... thanks for the info. Looks like there's about 20% profit margin for bringing back these tablet back to KL. Can let me know why you decided the Cube over Onda vi40?

Anyway, Onda Vi40 selling for about RM900 right now, so it's even more expensive than the Cube @ current prices.
