Ice-cream Sandwich tablets are melting out of China like there is no tomorrow! First we had this very convincing Xoom clone running ICS, then just this morning Heiner announced the M7S would also ship with Android 4.0 making it the cheapest ICS tablet on the market! And now Aura are loading the F1 tablet with Google’s latest mobile operating system!
The Aura F1 will ship later this month, but rather than follow other manufatureres and use a Samsung or Rockchip CPU, the F1 will get a Chi A10 CPU!
Gizchina News of the week
Although the Chi chip gets similar naming to Apple’s mobile CPU’s found in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, we doubt the Chi A10 will offer double the power of Apple’s dual core A5 chip as the name would suggest.
Other highlights include 512MB RAM, 4GB of built in memory,Ā 7-inch 800 x 480 five-point capacitive touch screen, with the front camera, 3,500 mAh battery and HDMI out.
Like the Heiner M7S the Aura Pioneer F1 should sell for roughly 1000 Yuan ($156).

Hello, how reliable are the tablets coming out of China? I saw a 10.1 inch Android tablet in Divisoria, Philippines a month ago for around USD120. I want to buy one and use it as a PDF reader but I’m worried about reliability. Any comments?
I bought 4 of them for my kiddoes.. i must say i am impressed!!! and if you use Super One Click you can get root… they are laggy on the interface but it doesnt skip a beat playing games…. and for 110 dollars, can’t complain at all!
Yup, a great tablet for the price!
