This is now top of my list of tablets but I just have a couple of queries which hopefully someone here can answer.

1. Does it have a USB 2 socket which allows a normal usb2 key to be used? I think I can see one in the photos but read elsewhere that USB keys and external drives couldn't be used

2. Aside from here & tablet republic are there any other good support forums/websites for the teclast a 10t?

Thanks
Jez

No full size usb, but micro usb. This usb port can be used as master and slave. So for mass-storage device and otg(usbstick, mouse, keyboard)
*Click* for side of Teclast A10t
What you see in this picture from left to right:
power button - mic/reset on top + micro sdcard slot - mini hdmi - home+back - micro usb - 3.5mm audio jack - mic/reset - powerinput
On top of that I don't think you can use an external hdd, it consumes to much power. A simple usbstick would work just fine

Well, it has to get popular first to even appear on an international forum such as slatedroid.
It might became popular at some national forum. If you want it to appear on xda, it has to be cheap and modifiable.

At this moment it's either slatedroid, tabletrepublic or a chinese forum....

Hi LVL,

Thanks for your reply. I thought where the power switch was looks like a full size USB socket but your photo is clearer. So to connect a USB key I would need an adapter cable.

Now I have a dilemma...an HP Touchpad in excellent condition for similar money. Dual core processor & very solid build quality. Dual boot Webos & ICS 403 cm9.

:unsure:

Bet u can't wait for the onda & icoo tabs to arrive
