You are wrong period point blank. I dont care what anyone on some forum told you or thinks is true. It never once said that the 101 shipped with Froyo, PERIOD. People are not reading and understanding everything before posting. Flame all you want, it won't make you right.

Thank you so very much for giving me the chance to show that you did not READ anything. Now PLEASE try to defend yourself on this one;)

See the 7??????????? Do you SEE the 7 beside the text there? HERE I'll show you a screen shot of the page:

Do you understand how a LEGEND works? Here, let me show you:

Still do not understand? Here:

Spec descriptions with little numbers beside things showing you that there is something in the legend you need to READ to understand a little more;)

What is this? WOW, it's the legend telling you what those little numbers mean:

Smoke and mirrors? People like you are the reason why there is so much false information out there right now. You do not READ anything and you want everyone to place the world in your lap. NOWHERE on the website did it EVER say that the 101 shipped with Froyo, PERIOD. People like you thought it did because you did not read and take the time to understand anything. AGAIN, if you read everything and pay attention to EVERYTHING you would not be on here posting things like you did. So before you insult me again trying to tell me that I have no idea what I'm talking about, READ EVERYTHING. Now get mad and flame me because you were wrong. CLASSIC

Don't get mad at me because you were wrong and posted it for everyone to see. Call me names, make momma jokes and whatever else you want to do. Fact is that you didn't read and understand everything yet you wanted to post "facts" about it and I called you on your "facts". If that makes you mad, GROW UP.

lol. You're making yourself look like an ass. But, by all means please continue wasting your time trying to prove a complete stranger wrong. Clearly it brightens your day, and I'd hate to get in the way of that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jagpoag:
What is sad is the fact that you can't accept that you were wrong and still want to flame me because I pointed it out. :rolleyes: If I'm making myself look like an ass here, so be it. Of course, I'm not the one spreading false information around because I'm to lazy to read;) Like I said before, flame all you want .....it won't make you right.

With that being said, I'm finished here. I'm sure you will take another shot at me in an attempt to try and make yourself feel like you are somehow right. Go ahead, I'm not the only one that can see what has been posted here. If you really believe I'm the only one that noticed your ignorance, you are wrong. People are all about "being nice" these days but I will not just sit here and watch people post false information and smile about it. If more people would speak up like I do, maybe people like you would start getting facts right before opening your mouth or starting a new post. Dont feed the trolls? No, don't feed to ignorance of people that are not smart enough to post FACT instead of opinion masked as fast. If you want to fight with someone, go find one of these "know it all" "gurus". At least then you would stand a chance at winning a debate. Getting information from forum and blog post is not going to get you anywhere with me. I deal with FACT
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
It should say 2.1, because that's what it ships with, not because it's a planned update.

I bought a Vibrant in August, which launched with the promise of a 2.2 update in September. Well, it's now November and still no update. But, they didn't launch that phone with a spec sheet saying it had 2.2. Why? Because it's misleading and it would have made for a lot of pissed off people.

Google Archos 70 tablet and you'll see that it says 2.2.

http://www.google.com/products/cata...LpFZjS2AT_5bjSCw&sa=title&ved=0CAcQ8wIwADgA#p

I mean maybe it's Google's fault for helping to spread this misinformation. Perhaps Google doesn't know how to read either. Maybe it's my fault for taking a spec sheet at face value.

I'm not trying to "flame" or argue with you. It's pointless. Just agree to disagree and move on. Or keep arguing. I'm done.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
I know, sorry. I should not have responded to the nonsense.

At any rate my Maywang should be waiting on my doorstep for me when I get home. I'll probably try out one of those ROMs before I possibly return it.

Got mine in 8 days

I ordered my m-150 last Wednesday and got it yesterday. I have been following this forum for a few weeks, and had to give it a try. Ordered on Wednesday, got the shipping confirmation on Friday, and UPS tracking finally showed it was in transit on Tuesday.

I immediately turned it on and started playing. The accounts were all true: it's really slow. I was prepared for that, though, and I was otherwise satisfied, until it refused to connect to my network. I was going to take it back, but decided to try it on my neighbors network, and it worked fine over there. I guess I'll keep trying to connect to my network over the weekend. It sees the network, accepts the WEP code, then it says Obtaining IP Address for about 2 minutes, then finally doesn't connect. I even turned off the security and tried it, still nothing, and I'm standing right next to the router.

I will say that I am perfectly happy with the screen resolution and touch response. I've used capacitive screens, and I can tell the difference, but I don't find it annoying.

In any case, I wanted to mention, several people have written that the wi-fi disconnects whenever the screen turns off, so I wanted to point out that there is a wi-fi sleep policy screen which may help (I can't tell without being connected). Anyway, this screen is reached by hitting the 4 lines next to the back arrow in the upper right hand corner of the screen while in the wi-fi setup screen.

If anybody has any useful advice about getting this thing to connect, please post it. Thanks.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maestroteague:
Just a quick note to say that I tried out two roms today. One, linked here:

http://tipstir.the-talk.net/rooted-...-rom-that-works-on-the-maylong-m-150-t508.htm

worked the best out of the two I tried - much faster than the stock in its response. Tipster has posted a new rom in the last hour or so, but I haven't had a chance to install it yet, and won't until later tonight. But to those of you who are still on the fence, this may cause you to keep it. It's still not blazing, and the videos still don't play, but it is much faster and will work for many of my needs.

It was pretty tough to get the second plastic film off. I was starting to doubt it was really there. This is it half way off.

http://a.yfrog.com/img6/2585/20101119180356.jpg

Slightly more responsive without it, but it makes the mediocre screen look better. So far I'm not thrilled with the Maylong. I can't even view a pdf on this thing and the market is a joke. And I just realized I can't root it because I don't have a card reader. Maybe I'll pick one up tomorrow.

I also can't help but wonder how long this thing will last, as cheaply as it's made. : /

Hey awesome man. Give us your impressions. Gonna try to root this weekend?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danobegood:
I think I read somewhere that it doesn't do FLV, I'll check. Battery is decent, a couple of hours continuous. Pretty certain debug is only through the USB cable connection.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] danobegood:
Internet based apk works fine. I couldn't figure out how to access paid apps from the marketplace. Only free apps show up when using the software link on the M-150. Camera shows you your face and works. Battery life is decent.

Browser not IE, and I am not sure how to use the USB debug mode , but hope someone finds, and post a way to upgrade it from 1.6

Ordered

Well, for $99 why the heck not. I am going to hope someone gets a root for it of which I'm sure people like me that don't know how to do so will donate to the effort. As everyone agrees, having Android 2.2 with Flash and Google Market would be great for this.

I am looking to use it for work to bring to meetings and have Google docs available.

Maylong tablet Suggestions

I know there is already alot of discussion about this tablet and capabilities, but here are some suggestions to you developers that would make this tablet the deal of the century.

1. Find out a way to run Flash 10.1 on this device. Also installing a codec that reads .mp4 or 3gp for video streaming.

2. Device has a cam, maybe this can be incorporated into a facetime like application or have compatiblity to talk on skype.

3. has usb attachement, so bluetooth streaming onto computer or tv devices would be awesome.

4. see if we could upgrade 1.6 android software to 2.1 or 2.2 Froyo.

5. Also would be great if we could see live wallpapers.

6. Expanding android market selections.

7. Cross platform os and droid.

8. overclocking from sluggish 400mhz to 600-800mhz to improve streaming and data processing.

I will immediately try to root and upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2 software using 1.6 programs from cellphone. please let me know if anyone has any success upgrading this tablet. Regards!

Just ordered mine.

For $100 it doesn't seem like a bad idea to get one to at least play around with it. I'm sure it won't be the fastest or greatest, but maybe with a little tinkering we can get our $100 worth from this thing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sirchuk:
It looks like the first one from dealextreme is the same tablet as wallgreens, and for about the same price. While they list it as in-stock, I would rather deal with Wallgreens no-hassle return policy and wait a few more days to get it.

The other ones listed look like the ones Engadget reviewed a few months ago, and they weren't very kind in their review. Enough to make me pass and not think twice about it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] davidukfl:
I'm gonna see how "moddable" these things are before buying., If we can get custom froyo roms and be able to overclock this, I'd definitely buy one for $100
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] erreesse:
how to find "how moddable" ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sirchuk:
I know people have been able to mod the ePad with market and overclock it, but nothing above 1.6. I think it's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to get it to run 2.2 (Froyo.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] goyjuss:
The way I look at it is I can play around with this thing for a month before deciding whether I'll keep it or not. I think that will give me enough time to play around with it.

BTW, anyone who already has one of these:

Have any of you tried the Super One Click Root?

Are the cheap 10" tablets this good? I'm blown away with this little thing for $100 compared to the Augen Gentouch 78 that I tried 2 of before giving up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jammallnyte:
there is no way 2.2 with flash will run on this. If that is what you want don't buy it. The specs remind me of my old mytouch, with the 256 ram. Cyanogen is on record saying the mytouch just couldn't support flash so I doubt this will. If we can root, run 2.1, and overclock it to say 600 at the $100 price tag it can't be beat. Simple as that I think.

So which dev will take it on as a project. Zach would be good at it. His donut roms for the mytouch were strong. Ill see if I can reach him through twitter.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sirchuk:
There are some other forums out there that have a discussion on the M-150. One person said they talked with someone at Maylong and was told that they've had so many orders they are having a hard time keeping up with them, and that another version will be released (no time frame or price) running Android 2.2.

Also, I think some "cheap" manufacturers are waiting for Gingerbread to be released, or whatever version it is that Google is making with tablet support.

I believe the ePad has been overclocked to 400hz. There is a forum on it here.

Edit:

Looks like they are working on 2.1 for the ePad, which means it will likely work with the M-150. It's in testing, but I think they got it to work. Check it out.

Tablet info

It's been my experience lately that the people and companies selling these tablets often have a range of specs associated with them...it's sometimes hard to keep up with all of it...the first tablet I got had a different picture on the website...but out of the four pictures that were there...I actually saw two different tablets...with different types of configurations for usb and such...

anywho...it' is November 2010...been so now for 20 days...

The maylong is short on battery life that much I have learned playing with it...

Doug...it will read pdf documents...you need to download a program like documents to go...it reads mine...

I have noticed what many have stated that placing and retrieving the micro sd card is finicky at times if not down right frustrating...I have several of these types of devices that take micro sd cards and I usually struggle to get them to seat but not to get them out...you have to press this thing and hope you get the angle right...actually the first time I tried it...I thought what is all the fuss about...then the second time I tried to take it out...I almost panicked that I couldn't get it out...hahahahaha...

Played with a Samsung galazy tab today...there is definitely a noticeable difference in response to touch...it was so sensitive that I almost didn't have to touch the screen to get it to respond...since it was a demonstration model...I couldn't see what OS it had...but the info tab at BB said it was 2.2...although when I tried to play a flash video with it...it did not play...gave me a message about the format not approved...so it's possible that it's a setting or something...but that device comes with GPS...it sucks that if I get that device...I will have to get a 30 dollar a month plan on data that won't role over...and more and more this is how you get data anymore...

Got my Sylvania last night after my Maylong died after 2 days, yea I have the weird battery meter issue too.

Loaded up a ton of stuff that I had on my Captivate, so far so good.

Did the upgrade and didn't have any issues, was still able to install apps unlike that video that is out indicated.

Also got it rooted with no problem using Z4Root, rooted in about 2 minutes, so I got Titanium Backup on it and CPU Tuner going on it.

So far I'm really liking this and if they keep their promise with the fixes and upgrade this is a sweet little device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maestroteague:
Fred, I really like mine, too. It's quick, responsive for the most part, and can run Angry Birds and other such things. My battery issue is not just a glitch - it wouldn't hold a charge at all for the first 3 days, and once it finally started working, I thought it might be all good, but then yesterday it did the same thing and was still at 30% after being charged all night. So I've got my legit reason for returning it. If that one had a gravity sensor and hard buttons for volume and home, I would keep it in a heartbeat. Actually, I could probably live without the gravity sensor for the price, but the combination of those things missing has been a pain. I'm thinking that I'm gonna end up taking both back and wait for a 10", but we'll see what tipster's new rom that he released last night does on the Maylong first.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dougefresh91:
Thanks, Blue. I can no longer connect to my network on the Maylong. It was working fine last night, but now it just won't connect so I can't try the pdf viewer. Or anything else for that matter. I wasnt expecting too much out of this tablet, but when even basic functions don't work theres a problem. Last night when it was working I found web browsing to be too slow. video playback was also slow with videos usually not playing all the way through. And I know it's not my network because my phone flies and I play xbox wirelessly with no problems.

No sense rooting now I suppose. Looks like it's going back. I've also decided I want a 10"tablet as this really isn't great for displaying guitar tabs. Better than my 4"phone, but not large enough to really be useful.

Perhaps I should just get a laptop and forget about these tablets altogether.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ZB370:
Why are we trolling so much about tablets other than the one this thread is about? There are threads out there to talk about those devices, lets keep this thread clean please. I should be getting mine pretty soon and the first time it turns on it will be rooted. Thanks tipster for your work so far.

Got ya, no harm no foul, and I agree with you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] The code stops here:
Well Doug, I hate that it isn't working out for you since you waited so long to get it...I have been using this thing and checking out different things on it...I noticed the network dropping out on this one and discovered that it had a setting to have it never drop out...but it is a little finicky...makes for a frustrating experience...

I don't get the video problem with these devices...since they actually have more cpu power than the other little devices I have...I'm thinking that if the resources were distributed better to just the video phase and everything else was bypassed they may play better video...

I can't do much with my Maylong since technically it's not really mine...unless you count the "the possession" rule...so far nothing has happened on my account...and I am sure they might not even know that I received one...perhaps if they did some kind of comparison to shipping and payment...but unless they became a whole lot more proficient...they may not know that I even have one...the right thing for me to do is notify them and let them know that I tried it out and if they would sell it to me at wholesale...I might buy it...play hardball when the ball is in your court...hahahaha...

I am really interested in having two of these...my Wife does not understand...but that way I can program and develop while having one to actually use...I see some promise in this Android programming...

Eventually though...I'm gonna want a device that fits my real purpose...and I need flash video for that and gps...so I know that by the middle of next year there will be more options and better options...if inflation doesn't bite us in the arse...hahahahaha...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] The code stops here:
It's hard to say on this device...it's almost like Maylong is testing the market...from this thread alone and others...I have seen a lot of people claiming to have taken the product back...it feels like a good portion over 60 percent...but most here aren't just normal consumers...they are tinkerers and have different standards...if Maylong feels this tablet is a success on the market they may upgrade to something better but I wouldn't count on it this year...

As far as I can tell the Maylong is still being shipped with the 1.6 OS...
