HaiPad Review (Android Tablet / Fake iPad)

[@ozmond]

I remember watching this when I was 10 and being really impressed with what a device like this could do. I couldn't afford one, and I barely had access to Internet anyway. You wouldn't believe the struggles I went through to watch your videos. I've seen this one MANY times. These tablet videos are what made me fall in love with mobile tech. Thank you Ashens

[@Snake_2066]

An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one. Makes me realize how lucky I was to have the technology I did. Cheers!

[@zzoinks]

I used to be wowed by tablets and smartphones! Now they feel normal. 😮 A funny thing I saw in 2018 was an arcade machine with prizes. It had an unbranded tablet inside that said "Android 2" on the side. It must've been in there for 8 years! There were also those MP3 players. I don't know, it seems like those machines are super rigged! Or people don't care about playing them in a hotel.

[@rustythefoxcoon5143]

Now the funny thing is mate, I have been here since 2009 when my favorite brand of car - Saturn - died. He helped me greatly. I was literally 13 when it died and finding Ashens was the best thing. We all relate to the feeling of finding our British Bootleg fanatic.

to be fair most of them support video output via USB type-C, at least android ones. Just buy a type-C to HDMI cablle and plug in your TV

[@948320z]

Also from what I remember reading from the maker of Haipads (Haina), judging from the odd placement of buttons and the protruding SD card, I think Ashen actually bought a "fake" Haipad (knockoff of a knockoff). Haina did put notice on their website warning people of fake Haipads.

Interestingly, apart from the touchscreen itself and the slow speed due to cheap hardware, it looks like it functions exactly like the old Android systems.

[@doctorbad]

I spent a couple of weeks in China with some friends back in 2010. While in Shanghai we visited a rather dodgy market place hidden away in the basement level of a city building. I made it my mission to experience the bountiful joys of a knockoff iPad, and sure enough it wasn't long before my Chinese speaking friend found a merchant selling the vaunted A-Pad. The device refused to turn on unless plugged into the wall, and even then it took upwards of 5 minutes to boot up. It was very difficult to actually try any of the apps or features because the base FPS while sitting at the home screen was literally about 1-2 frames per second. The device eventually crashed a to black screen with error log. After we left my Chinese friend informed me that while I was playing with the A-Pad, the merchant was trying to persuade him to let them rip me off in exchange for a cut of the profit. GG

Ashens said it very well. If you were into messing with things, this could actually be a fairly decent device. Replace the homescreen with LauncherPro so it ran smoother, maybe root it to remove bloatware and adjust memory and battery settings, and I wouldn't see it being a terribly bad purchase especially for only being $150.

[@AirwolfPL]

Seems like a pretty good device for this price. It's Android device so you can replace the UI with some other UI available from the market (LauncherPro). The important thing you didn't mentioned is how much internal memory it has (it's frequently a problem with Android smartphones - even the higher end ones like HTC Desire). Also the touch screen worries me, but I think this cheapo device still can be pretty good as an car "pc" for example, and a good touchscreen isn't really a case there.

You know Apple is ridiculous when a four year-old tablet has the same or more features as the current-gen iPads.

[@setoman1]

Ryan M It's not really the features or the hardware that gets to me. It's the closed, stubborn nature of the operating system that makes me want to tear my hair out. Most of my friends and family are technologically impaired. Whenever something breaks or doesn't work as intended, I get to fix it. What gets to me is how incredibly hard it is to do anything more than the very basic everyday usage. I get the feeling that Apple thinks they know your needs better than you do.

[@BigTylt]

Nekros True, I simply cannot stand iOS, either, becase of not only how closed it is, but the bugginess. If I didnt need my iPad for school, I would sell it and keep my Nexus.
