I am looking to buy an android tablet and am torn between getting a ZT-180 or one of the new 7" telechips variants that are currently coming out such as the Pandawill G10/G11 or Moonse e7002 with HDMI out.This is what I am looking to do with the tablet.Watch SD Video, xvid/divx tv shows and films. Want to be able to view without converting my current TV show library.Possibly 720p videosBrowse internetListen to musicAndroid MarketPreferably Android 2.1 Normal Games (Angry Birds when it comes out!!!)Maybe some 3D games? All this would be done on wifi while I am at home and probably watching TV shows on the tube to work.Would the ZT-180 be able to handle this? Would it run well? Or would I be better with the other 7" telechips models?Also what is the build quality on the ZT-180 like? Screen etc?Sorry for all the questions! Cant wait to get one sorted out!CheersDanny

Spend a few minutes reading some of the threads here, there are plenty of comments about everything you've asked about.

Thanks, I have actually read alot of threads, however no one seems to have done a comparision of the Telechip G10 variants vs the ZT-180. Any other comments? Which one would be more suitable? Are they both stable?

i think people like the 10'' but me I am holding out dreaming of a better build soon. My 7'' rockchip does what its suppose to so I am happy with that.

In my personal opinion moonse e7002 is the best one out the box. The hardware design is good. The software is stable. It does everything you say you will be using it for. I have the one without hdmi. If they add hdmi to it thats just more of a reason to get it

Thanks mate,Can I ask a couple of questions seen as you have both types of tablet?What so you think of the build quality of the e7002 vs zt-180 such as screen etc?I understand out of the box that the e7002 is better, if you have upgraded the software on the zt-180 is it better or worse than the e7002?ThanksDanny

The overall feel of the E7002 seems better. When I hold the zt180 I sometimes feel if I push down with my thumb hard enough I can push right through the screen. Aside from the screen being bigger and it having a full size usb port the build quality for the zt180 seems subpar to me. The screen sensitivity on the zt180 is pretty good. even though its resistive its the closest thing to a capacitive screen that I've come across. I have only upgraded to the 804 rom with the zt180 and it is still buggy. I have to reset it every now and then. I haven't had to reset the e7002 since I got it.

0812 rom is out for zt180 and since Ive installed it, I have yet to have to reset the device, also with 0818 comes for stability for games, games which would not load before now load but are still buggy. I can play quake on the zt180 now, although very choppy it still loads

Do you think with future firmware updates it will become a good pad?Is it a aluminium/metal back or plastic?

Thanks mate,Are they both aluminium/metal backed or plastic? If you had to choose one of them to spend your money on now, would you go for the 10" and hope that it gets updated or get the smaller 7" moonse 7002?

six7kid, What about speed, responsiveness specs and overall value. Can you rate your tablets in order (1-4). Thanks.
