Never mind the brand, try to see the dots – $250 retina screen quad core Android tablets now available

While 8 bit scanlines are the old black around these parts, and we hiss at resolutions greater than 360 * 240, who among us has not stared enviously at the 2048 * 1536 res screens of rich Uncle Muppet’s Ipad 3? A screen so sharp, so bright, and packed with pixel densities with numbers so large, matched only by the numbers following their price tags? We might not game on them, but hotdarnnit, them large table things with retina screens look dang nice. Pity you have to sell Boxer to the glue factory to raise funds if you want one.

That is, of course, until recent times, thanks to the magic of Chinese mass production.  Yes, Android 9.7 inch tablets with ultra pixel dense IPS screens – ok harkkit, let’s call them retina screens – are now readily available in the wild! Check these models, all with Quad Core CPUs and 2048 x 1536 screens out (and click on the links to find out more … or to buy one from Tinydeal):

(AINOL) Spark 9.7 Retina Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet (AINOL) Spark 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet $258.82
(CHUWI) V99 9.7 Retina Android 4.1 16GB A31 Quad-core Tablet PC (CHUWI) V99 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 16GB A31 Quad-core Tablet PC $249.79
(KNC) MD906 9.7 Retina Android 4.1 16GB Quad-core Tablet PC (KNC) MD906 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 16GB Quad-core Tablet PC $240.76  
(PLOYER) MOMO19HD 9.7 Retina Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet PC (PLOYER) MOMO19HD 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet PC $272.85
(FREELANDER) PD80 9.7 Retina Android 4.1 16GB Quad-core Tablet (FREELANDER) PD80 9.7" Retina Android 4.1 16GB Quad-core Tablet $253.80
(ONDA) V972 9.7 Retina Screen Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet PC (ONDA) V972 9.7" Retina Screen Android 4.1 Quad-core Tablet PC $265.84

Early Chinese Android tablets were laughable in implementation, but brands like Ainol, Chuwi and Onda seem to be intent on building a decent product, and more importantly, supporting them.  With the cheapest retina ipads costing about $500, these smooth looking retina tablets for about half that are just the thing if you’re in the market for a value tablet.

The 10 Days of Dingoo Competition. Easier than falling off a bike …

The indomitable guys at isharegifts.com can’t get enough of the eyeballs you all so generously donate, and although the response to their last sponsored competition was, shall we say, anaemic, you can’t keep a good ecommerce site down! They’re back for more, offering YOU, Dingoo fans, something to while the days away until the silly season truly explodes.

And so today, I announce the 10 Days of Dingoo Competition, where if you can’t lift a finger to enter, then well, I fear for Gen Y.

Starting 5 December 2011, and then on 7 Dec, 9 Dec, 11 Dec, 13 Dec, 15 Dec, 17 Dec, 19 Dec, 21 Dec and 23 Dec (each date is a “Competition Day”), there’ll be one prize on offer each day.

The grand prize on the 23rd is a frickin’ Dingoo A330, delivered to your door!

All you have to do to win a prize is:

On each Competition Day, email me at larry@dingoo-scene.com :

In the Subject, INSERT THE COMPETITION DAY.

In the Body, include

Your Name, Address and the Magic Words: “Welcome from [Insert name of Country]! Gimme da frickin’ Christmas Joy!!”.

Feel free to tell us more about why you love the dingoo … or how you the music died with Michael, or if you’re hot, send naughty pictures … but every entry must contain the magic words to be valid!

I will randomly pick an email entry for each Competition Day, and that lucky entrant will win the prize for that day!

This is the loot on offer:

YDPG18 Android Console – N64 and PSX emulation looking sweet!
