Hi guy I just wanted to share my experience with the newly purchased A816 S1 % Point Multitouch Tablet that I received last week. It's a solid device, the screen actually looks a lot better then the resistive versions in terms of color and quality it's a very crisp screen and quite responsive. There are no more screen ripples that appear on the screen when the tablet is being pressed from behind. They have redesigned the case to correct the issue.

Wifi, Bluetooth and all the services that need to be working are working as they should including the HDMI output, although sound still comes from the tablet speaker that isn't a deal breaker for me. It is really a nicely designed tablet and I am glad that I got it.

I got it at a great deal from techtoys2go.com and I received it in 4 days after it shipped.

hi ismael. Did you noticed yet the problem with the market? Some apps cann't download they say that they are nor compatible with our device. I googled it and found out that the lcd dencity setting is the problem. I rooted the mid and checked the dencity with root explorer, it is set on 158 .I set it on 160 and rebooted. But de letters on the upper toolbar dont look nice, they overlapp . Im scared that if i try 170 or 180 that all the screen is not readable anymore.
I also read somewere that the older markets didnt had that problem. Is there a way to go back to an older version?

But thats the only problem i have with the tablet, and there are other ways to download all the apps so no man overboard. One tip, after you rooted it, install chainfire and its plugins. I did it and games like samurai vengeance 2, sprinkle, and even the new shadowgun run with it. Who needs 600 dollar tablets hehe!!

I did notice that but what also happens is that Market wont update the applications that I do have installed. I hate to be manually updating them. I wish that I could figure out a way have the Market behave normally and as it should. Other than that the tablet works great! I really do like it.

I installed the chainfire just need to get more games on the tablet.

You know what I just did, I installed AppBrain and now I can automatically update my apps as the updates become available. Pretty cool.

I wouldn't know if gingerbreak would work since I have never tried it.
