SO....my Pipo U2 arrived as well.
It's late, so I'm going to make this short.
The device is marvelous! The build quality, material, speed, display - great!
I can't comment on battery stamina just yet, but two things seriously spoil the fun for me and may even warrant sending back the Pipo U2.
- WLAN! I have changed the channels, gave static IP, ran wifi annalyzer.... I can not get a descent signal 15 feet away from my router.
My HTC One S mobile phone is sitting right next to the Pipo and displaying 6+ Access Points / Routers. The Pipo will only see mine and the connection speed alternates between 5 and 65 mbps. Downloading 10 MB from my Dropbox takes ages. Standing next to the router...and I'm done in seconds.
- Headphone port! Either the metall shell is cut out to tight or this is a 2,5mm jack, not a 3,5mm one. I can not insert any of my ordinary headphones! Tech Specs on various shopping sites state 3,5 mm ?!
I'm not sure if the firmware update mentioned above would solve the wifi issue, i could live with the headphone jack problem.
I'm going to contact the seller to see if they allow me to flash the device while still be able to return it, if that doesn't solve it.
There is no point in a tablet without proper wifi, or am I expecting to much?
Frankly I can't tell how a Nexus 7 performance is, but if a small (metal shell!) mobile phone like HTC One S is getting a good reception, there's someting not okay.
Torn between love & hate,
