I am familiar with the Allwinner A10. I did not mean to say that you cannot get reasonably good processing power at bargain prices. I was trying to point out that by going for the very lowest prices you end up buying from manufacturers that deliberately do not spend much on the software side which has strong implications for the overall consumer experience.
I have seen quite a few entry-level tablets with horrible Android ports that were good at little else but giving Android a bad name.
That was sort of my point. There are some really abysmal tablets out there but newer versions of Android and newer chips seem to be rapidly changing that.
I guess if you make complete tat it'll only ever have a very limited market and it'll dry up very quickly.
The Chinese seem to start with making rubbish and then get better rapidly. Some of the stuff they make is easily as good as anything made in the west and usually far cheaper. This hasn't happened with tablets - yet.
