How To Annoy Three Tech Giants With One Product.

A Round Up Of K101 Images

Out of sheer boredom I decided to hunt around the Baidu forum and round up as many images as I could of the new K101 prototypes. I’m afraid I can’t really share much else to put these in context (cos I can’t read Chinese and Google Translate is terrible), apart from the dates that they were posted up. It looks like it’s probably in the final stages of development anyway. Take a look.

Edit: It might help if I explained what the K101 was (doh). It’s the K1 hardware inside a different shell, MaxZhou88 is the man behind the product and this one will have real RTC built in. Other differences to the original K1 seem to be a MiniUSB port (for charging, I guess) and a normal 3.5mm AV Out port.

Especially when it’s promised to cost only $99.

JXD S5100 Deluxe Edition Coming Soon To Willgoo

To say JXD borrowed elements of the design from Nintendo would be an understatement, but fair play to them – the finished product looks very slick indeed. Sporting a 5″ 800×480 capacitive touchscreen and the usual AMLogic M3 SoC that JXD seem to favour, this Android 2.3 handheld would be almost the perfect machine aside …
