August 26th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware reviews, smartq

Chippy over at Carrypad just posted an unboxing video for Smart Devices’ newest tablet, the T7. Like the R7, it has a 7″ 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen, WiFi, SDHC card slot, and runs Android 2.1. No GPS or Bluetooth, though. But it does come with Android Market and Google apps.

August 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news, smartq, video

Someone sent me a link this video they found on Taobao. You’re looking at the latest tablet from SmartQ, one of the better Chinese manufacturers. The T7 is their 6th tablet, and I’ve covered it before. I’ve had my hands on SmartQ hardware before, and it’s generally very good. But I still think at this [...]

Smart Devices T7 – Android 2.1, 7″tablet

July 14th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news, smartq

Chinese tech company Smart Devices have just announced their latest product. They are about to release a 3G equipped 7″ Android tablet running v2.1.
They’re calling it the SmartQ T7. If you ask me I think they took a SmartQ R7 and installed Android. The hardware looks identical to me, but this one is reported as [...]

Smart Devices R7 hands on video

April 15th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware reviews, smartq, video

Engadget China has posted the first hands on video for the R7. I’m not impressed. As I’ve aid before, I don’t think anyone should buy the R7. Instead, I think you should get the SmartQ 7. The SmartQ 7 is 2 generations older but has hardware that’s just as capable which runns the exact same [...]

Smart Devices to release new E-reader – the R7

April 7th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news, smartq

I just came across information on Smart Devices‘ latest product. The latest addition to their line of 7″ tablets is going to be an e-reader. The new device will have a 7″ LCD touch screen with a resolution of 800×600.  I think there’s something funky about that screen dimension; I don’t think anyone makes a [...]

A brief review of the SmartQ V7, pt 2

April 7th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware reviews, smartq, software reviews

This is the second part of my review, and you probably should read the first part. In this part I’m going to compare the 2 units and discuss where the V7 falls short. It may sound odd that I am already dismissing the V7, but I really don’t see a reason to buy the SmartQ [...]

A Brief Review of the SmartQ V7, pt 1

March 31st, 2010 · 4 Comments · hardware reviews, smartq

My SmartQ V7 just arrived in the mail, and I thought I’d post some thoughts. I’m going to compare the V7 with my SmartQ 7, which is the previous generation. I’ll post a more extensive review later, and this will cover all 3 OS options that come on the SmartQ V7. Both models are available [...]
