Forum user KenEssacho has done a remarkable job in writing a quick guide about the T11TE, in it you can find lots of useful information on usage, i would recommend both people looking to buy and those who already have the T11TE to take a look at the guide.
RAmos T11TE Guide
You have to give it to the Chinese for being creative, the CoolF910, a Qualcomm 7227 600MHz based Android phone, looks like a G3 and Nexus One had a drunken orgy and this was their illegitimate creation.The phone boast 256mb ram, 512mb rom, 3.2" HVGA capacitive touch screen, Wifi and GPS
Although this may not have the most original design, it does have some nice hardware, even the scroll ball is a nice touch, if it functions similar to that of the scroll ball on the Nexus one, then users will find it quite a useful feature.
Standard apps that we would expect on an Android device.
The CoolF910 isn't the cheapest of kits either, price at RMB$2380 (USD$350) this is quite pricey, especially for the China market, the CoolF910 pricing makes it compete with the like of the Meizu M8
iMP3 has quite an interesting article about possible processors that will power the upcoming tablet craze, many of which will be ARM cortex A8 processors, the article does seem to suggest that Rockchip are also developing their own cortex A8 processor, which if true, could be good news. The article deals with how Chinese homegrown chips and subsequent tablet products will be able to 'rival' the iPad and cost 1/3 of the price.The device pictured in these two images is not a Rockchip based device on a cortex processor, but a new, unbefore seen, RK2808 Android player.
I have to say that i like the look of this player, i even prefer more than the RAmos W7, i like that this will have physical buttons, something i feel complex players like MID's should have. I can guess that this probab
This is a nice looking gem, the Cydle P29H is a 2.9" OLED touch screen, with built in HD radio, accelerometer and haptic sensor. This compact player has a nice UI and looks to have a solid build. Again have to hand it to the South Koreans for being able to make some of the nicest portable media players. Video after the break

RAmos will be making another revision to their T12 line of player, this time they will be placing the new Amlogic media processor into it and calling he model their T12FHD. This will have the same media processor as is used in the T17FHD, so video playback will be its strong point. Until i see how the UI is on this player, i won't comment if it would make for a good audio player, which the T12 original was also good for, especially when you used the scroll wheel to scroll through your music list.
The T12FHD will be able to playback videos that are upto 1080p in resolution on its 5.0 800x480 screen, it will support a wide variety of video formats such as AVI, MKV, RMVB, TS, FLV, VOB, H.264 etc and a wide variety of audio files, including lossless. There isn't any street pricing or re
As you may have seen on a previous video, Meizu has dropped quite a big update for their M8 phone, but you can take the UI experience one step further with this nifty user made M8 UI tour. Click on any of the icons in the video to see what each selection does.I have to give Meizu props for making such a nice UI, even if some of the UI is inspired from the iPhone and Android, but it does show that Meizu does have the talent to at least make a nice and interactive UI.

I found this interested video demo of the W1070 running Windows 7. The 8.9" touch screen tablet has a Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1G RAM, 16G SSD, WiFi. It normally comes with XP, but Windows 7 can also be loaded onto it.
I have doubts on the battery life, but it looks like an interesting device.

I posted previously on the iWonder tablet MID, today Engadget posted a video of it. Just watching this video makes me cringe at the sight of the screen, what an awful screen that's being used on this device, but i guess they had to cut some corners on the this $100 tablet MID. I do like the custom home screen.

ODroid, an open source handheld device made by Korean company HardKernal will be getting Android 2.1 sometime in March. Those of you who don't know, ODroid has a Samsung Cortex-A8 833Mhz ARM processor, 3.5" capacitive touch screen and HDMI video out. It may not be the prettiest thing out there, but it is interesting.
