I strongly suggest any intending buyers steer well clear of the Ainol
Novo Paladin. Thankfully the Ebay seller who lumbered me with theis POS
has the decency to offer (and stand by) a customer satisfaction
guarantee. There is nothing nice I can say about the device … WiFi
connectivity varies from shocking to non-existent, most websites time
out constantly & even hooking up an ethernet connection doesn’t
help. Battery life is less than half the 6 hours suggested by official
blurb, Android Market (or Google Play as its known these days) doesn’t
want a bar of Android 4 (everything I tried was incompatible), Google
Maps are totally possessed (insisted I was 150k north west of my actual
location (interestingly my aging Xperia X8 has no problem knowing the
proper location), text to speech is apparently incompatible but who
cares about minor inconveniences like that when the #^%@$* thing not
only decides (incorrectly by 150k) where one is, but also decides for
itself where one is going (typically the opposite directionj). Anyone
with the ‘need for speed’ would be better unearthing a neanderthal steam
powered XT from the 1980s as this POS is easily the slowest computer
I’ve ever encountered.

Please do not buy this crappy tablet. Just bought one – A-grade and new batch from March 12 onwards (Guarantees from suppliers). Previously it have a lot of bad/dead pixels problems on the Hitachi IPS screen. Now they, (Ainol) is using LG IPS screen. Everything looks great. But it get overheat on the left side of the tablet (with all the connections are: mini hdmi, 3.5mm headphones,etc). It really gets very hot after 5 mins of prolong usage without turning wifi on. Comment: Probably bad capacities…
