I know this is probably not the best part of the forum to ask this, but since the C8, MID816 and FlyTouch 3 are the three main tablets I'm considering (along with the Rena3, which people seem to love despite waiting for a super-stable firmware update), which do you prefer using day-to-day? Or perhaps you find yourself drawn to the V7! I know they are quite a bit different in terms of form factor and performance and that everyone has their own preferences, but I'd really value your opinion. I'm heavily leaning toward the MID816 due to the community support here. Anyway, thanks!
Personally I currently use the C8 as my primary device... although that may soon change as I just received a T9 (8" 4:3 Capacitive 5 Pt Multi-Touch w/ the Samsung Processor).
I love the form factor, weight, and performance of the MID816.
- The biggest/hardest issue (for me) is that it is a Resistive Single Touch screen... while very responsive... it is what it is...
I have a couple reason why I use the C8 currently with Ransagy's C8lean ROM.
1) It is Capacitive Glass/Plastic Screen
- Extremely important when you share it with a Toddler (2yrs old)
2) it is Multi-Touch (2-point)
- Great for Games like Heavy Gunner, Fruit Ninja, and others (which I like to play)
3) It has the Samsung Processor (AWESOME!)
- Can't beat the performance in a single core chip.
4) The microphone works on it
Things that I don't like about the C8
1) It is easier to "brick" even though in pretty much all cases it can be fixed.
2) You can't make a backup image of the MicroSD card and use it to restore the device at will.
- Unlike the MID816 which is GREAT at making Full Disk Image backups which have helped many people recover from bad/failing things.
Why I think the T9 will be my new favorite
1) From what I have seen so far... the T9 is pretty much the MID816 just with a 5 POINT Multi-Touch screen.
- Same Processor...
- No NAND chip... only MicroSD (means backup images should be possible)
2) Performance so far has been extremely zippy... bootup time is literally a couple seconds.
Current Issues with the T9 that will need to be worked out in firmware updates
1) No Market App installed (should be able to make a backup copy from another device and put it on)
2) Probably still some stability issues as it was just released... although I haven't run in to any just yet.
