Anyone ordered the Eken m003 yet?

There is already a section for this so called aPad:http://slatedroid.blitzwerks.co.uk/index.php?board=18.0

The build too.[/quote]Uh, don't be so sure it's "a lot better than the m001".In all important areas, it's basically the m001 with a wider screen and housing.My theory is that Eken developed the m001, and then Apple's iPad became a huge hit. Eken saw that by reworking their m001 to appear much more like the iPad, they might sell more since it now appears to be an iPad clone.Chinese manufacturers have done this type of thing over-and-over throughout the years. When the iPhone became a phenomenom, all of sudden Chinese phones appeared... some simply containing the same innards as previous releases.BTW, the $40 shipping places this auction higher than many m001 auctions. Is it worth the cost difference to have a wider screen? Something to think about.

this thing is so ugly! the moonse aPad is better, and more beautiful

I guess the only two things it has going for it over the M001 is the slightly larger screen and the external USB2.0 host connection.Is that worth $30-40 more?

from what i hear it runs android 1.5 and has slower proc

I just ordered the Ekon m003. Anyone receive theirs yet? wondering how the performance compared with the m001.

the places that sell the m001 and the m003 display the same hardware specs (just the display is different).just in case you want a external usb port, the m001 has one available. its kinda DIY (internal port only, needs hub to be added) however its possible.

HiFirst off all sorry for my bad english. I will receive my eken m003 in a few days, does anybody know if there is a costum firmware for this device. Thanks in advanceClaus

I heard that Ecotox and Willo are going to be cooking something up, but nothing confirmed yet.

Processor and specs are about the same.

So hopefully they will make soomething for the 003Claus

I dont think I'm going to be doing anything with the m003. I like the m001 FAR more then the m003. the only difference between the 2 is screen and price, I also dont have the money for one XP maybe if i had the money i would. As for using the m001 firmware, i dont see why not, same device different screen, try if you want but i'm not responsible if something happens XP

I ordered M003 from dealextreme, now waiting supplier ))

i ordered mine yesterday. If i am honest i do not expect it to be delivered. If i got it or not i let you know anyway. On the other hand i should better order an eken m001 or an apad. The community support here seemes better for both. i have few to none experience with android or linux. gl&hf

I payed 117 Euro including shipment. I will sell it after some tests i think.Than i will look for some more promissing tablet.
