Is this really a capacitive tablet for $185?

7" HD Multi Touch 800MHz CPU WLAN 3.5G Android 2.1 APAD - eBay (item 270626730778 end time Aug-28-10 07:24:30 PDT)

I saw another auction like this one where someone had asked the seller specifically if it was capacitive, and they said yes. Seems unlikely given the low price, but I'd love to know...

The specs in the auction say that it is.

If it's not I guess you can always go through Ebay to get your money back. It shows shipping from Hong Kong, I've seen some pretty inexpensive (cheap?) stuff coming out of there...

I bought the G10 from pandawill. Same piece of hardware. But pandawill sells for 177.99 free shipping. And yes it has everything they say it does. And it works very well. Android store works unlike alot of the earlier mids out there.

I can tell you this MID rocks! Esp for the price.

I doubt it's capacitive, but please let us know if you find out! For example, if you look at the questions asked for the Pandawill's product below they say it's resistive Buy Gpad G10 Android 2.1 MID 7 Inch 1080P 3D Games Multi-Touch Gravity Sensor Compare Gentouch78 compare price at pandawill.com

I hope this helps

The G10/aPad is not capacitive. Apparently some ODM's have figured out how to support "pinch zoom" on a resistive digitizer, but it is not capacitive. What I will give them kudos is that they have delivered on support for the G-Sensor on the TCC8902 platform. Maybe if you could get them to deliver their source for the kernel and binary drivers then perhaps others could benefit.

We're working actively with Augen to get the Kernel sources for 2.1 from their Chinese ODM. As a matter of fact, we're going to try to leap frog onto Froyo.

can anyone give a quick review? I've read some favourable comments re: the panda tablet.

I'm esp interested in 'snappiness' to borrow an apple term (just jesting lol) and how well the resistive screen performs. Anything more than the odd false/unregistered tap would be torture.

I'm a diehard Nexus One froyo user and am loathe to buy a tablet thats any slower but for the right price I could put up with a certain level of sluggishness, but like all things theres a sliding scale.
