I would have said yes as packaging and single pic looks like it... the screen size;
Screen: 10.2-inch 16:9 wide-screen 800 * 480 high-brightness TFT LCD
Would be wrong though as early ZT-180 were 1024x576, latest 1024x600

Hello all. First time poster, long time lurker.
I've been looking at the 10" ZT-180 tablets here and there. The one point of confusion is battery capacity. The standard seems to be 2400 mAH, but I've found both less than this and more than this in the specs for different sites/ebay listings. Currently I'm looking at one that lists the battery as 3000 mAH. Is this likely incorrect? Are they all 2400 mAH, or does it indeed vary?

Well you could always get this, if your patient Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more
Just noticed there was a thread for these. I think this is the Z180 , selling on Ebay for $59 . Sounds a little cheap ?

I did but, I'm not clear on what to do. It only shows you what changes should be made. Changes to what? Step by step instructions from the beginning would be helpful. Thanks

OK, just found one now listed with a 3500 mAH battery... is this at all believable?
These instructions make the assumption you have rooted your tablet (i.e. 'Universal Androot' app) and thus can edit protected system files... that's really all there is to it, as you can use your method of choice to edit the named files... i.e. adb, or 'Root Explorer' being the most likely ways I've seen used...
It might be a little confusing to understand what the edits are doing, as what I and others have shown as examples in that thread are relevavent to our own home networks, thus Your SSID and WEP Key (if used) will likely be different thus why I encouraged other to submit samples of their own as usually having more than one to compare make the local relevant changes more obvious...

I have some good news, I spoke to the vendor at www.zenithink.us and I was told that the update to Android 2.2 will be out by the end of this month. I hope sooner. This is also the vendor I plan on ordering from. The only thing they charge 249, free shipping, free 8gb sd card, and they update your tablet for you before shipped. If someone knows of a better US vendor I would really appreciate it. Thanks
OK, slowly learning more about how Android (2.1) works on the Zenithink, purchased mine on eBay (Australia) with Keyboard case & 16GC SD Card. Seller installed latest f/w, 1020, which gives access to Android Market 
I found the touch screen very responsive, but the Android OS a little confusing, how do you get Data onto it, how does the File Management System work
Have downloaded/installed from Android Market: Astro File Manager; Estrongs File Explorer; Documents to Go; Cache Cleaner (nice straight forward process)
Tried to overcome the limits of only 1 USB port with a couple USB Hubs I had at home, but they caused the system to crash! Undaunted bought a simple travel 4 port Hub by Targus and it worked, now have the USB Keyboard & wireless mouse both working
Had trouble with getting Gmail to re-establish, found the date had lost it's setting and when I fixed that, Gmail re-connected without problem
Then I customized some of the Screens with apps, bookmarks & shortcuts I wanted, wow this is looking more promising
I am still a little lost in running the file manager programs or how to see my PC on the wireless LAN
Problem: the Tablet does not show/recognize the USB stick when inserted, so how can I easily get my Data & Media into the Tablet
Where would you place personal Data, Photos & Media & How, can you copy & paste. It doesn't seem to be able to have 2 folders open side by side & drag files across (like Linux Mint or MS)
A link to a User Guide would be helpful and any help appreciated

I've been trying to setup an FTP server on my Windows 7 Computer, with EPIC FAIL!!! Please tell me how you did it? I'm trying to do the samething once I get my unit. And is Wifi explorer an app to use?
Hi there,
I just got my new Epad zt-180, after booting for the first time no problems, but after a sort time of using the screen began to flicker green lines and after booting again it keep green (some flickering).
I tried reset, booting and full powering but it stays green. I can see it boot (linux-logo etc.), but all against a green screen
anyone ?

Go to the Tablets & Mids guide at the top of this forum...
http://androidforums.com/tablets-mids/163255-tablets-mids-guide-updated-10-20-mst-sep-15-2010-a.html
The Zenithink User guide, such as it is, is the first hyperlink in the guide...
1: install swiftp on the pad and just use a ftp client on the pc, i personally use flash fxp
2: yes wifi explorer is an app loaded on the pad you then log in with your pc's browser using the ip on the pad eg: 192.168.168.1:2121
Thanks for this info, purchased the pro version and easily sent a test wmv video file to the Zenithink
Now I can see the file & play it (on SD Card) and then created a Folder (AV Files) to put this file into, before adding more, but I can't seem to find a way to move this file into this new Folder
Someone tell me how I can move files between folders
Thanks

Thanks Fan, but now I wanted to reverse this. I want to be able to FTP client from the pad to my PC. I run Windows 7 64bit, is it possible to do this? And what software do I need to use for my pc? Because for the life of me, I can't get the VPN part to work right (software not hardware). Even after using Es file Manager, I still can get in on the VPN, so no choice but to try FTP

OH and by the way, firmware update I have uploaded it to my fileserve account: Free File Hosting, Online Storage & File Upload with FileServe
Search 'FTPD Windows' as there are a good number of FTP deamons for Windows...

I bought one of the cheap ones for 59$ on ebay. I bought mine from
aizhong669
Since I didn't want to spend 200$ on it I jumped on the wagon.
Mine was shipped 1 day after I paid so we will see if it arrives by the end of this month. I will keep you update if/when I get it so you know if it was safe or not.
I might be a bit naive thinking I will get one for 59$ but we will see in a month.

Most of those $59 were scams. I read some post at other forums . no one gets the $59 tablet. The sellers disapear and now most are gone and so is the money. aizhong even removed the ones for sale. All the other sellers are gone and left ebay. was too good to be true . They say wait 35 days . that should have been a giveaway. they want you too wait too long to file a paypal claim. theres post on other sites about the scams. .
