If they just put up a batch of 50 instead of 50000 they had sold out in seconds!!!!!!oneeleven
pathetic company…
Why do you say “pathetic company”? They’re more successful than the brand names I cover here such as Chuwi, Onda, Ramos, etc.
Because overhyping new products for weeks and month and then not being able to to produce quantities to feed just 1% of the created demand is just that: “pathetic”
Its the same as with this “Oneplus One” phone which you might have heard about.
Yes, I see your point. But I still wouldn’t use the word “pathetic.”
Are you sure you aren’t calling xiaomi pathetic because you aren’t able to get one unit? Dat hate.
Definitely I am sure, because the last thing I would want is one of those overhyped hipster plastic tablets in shiny kids-toys colors and wannabe iOS knockoff.
That’s a matter of taste, not quality. It’s the best damn Android tablet that’s available. Who else is offering K1 CPU and the option of 64GBs internally with 128GB microSD card support?
With “available” you mean “up for advertisment without any realistic chance to get one”, right?
And how do you know that it is “the best”? You dont have even seen one, let alone beeing able to use it…
Is it “the best” because some fanboys praise it like god (for the sole reason it reads “Xiaomi” on it…)?
Or because some Antutu scores show high numbers (which are by the way beaten by any Allwinner A80 tablet)?
Stop. We don’t know that the Allwinner A80 AnTuTu scores aren’t fraudulent yet. We also don’t know battery life. (I suspect a 7.9-inch RK3288 will have poor battery life; so will the A80 too?)
And the MiPad is the best 4:3 7.9-inch tablet out there. More RAM, up to 64GBs storage, up to 128GB microSD card, the best camera, and Foxconn manufacturing. So yes, until something else comes along to beat it, it’s the best 4:3 7.9-inch out there for Android. There’s no argument on this point.
We dont know all that of the Xiaomi Pad either… all we know are some “reviews” (aka advertisments) of some “tech sites” who got some “press samples”… which -hands down- isnt more or less reliable than what other producers claim.
The Mipad isnt the best “no-matter-what” for the sole fact that you cannot obtain one (and, believe me, this wont change for month to come)…
It is also lacking any form of mobile communication (making the whole storage-thing quite redundant because you can easily access wireless storage space as long as you are in wifi-range) and it is made of plastic which is everything but “premium”.
Best camera? On a tablet? O_o
Mate, get serious! Thats like saying “Opel Manta is the best car because it has a foxtail on its antenna”…
But well, seems like Xiaomi virus already got you…
the quality of postings on the last days (literally every second one beeing some kind of trivial Xiaomi stuff like “Xiaomi CEO visits the toilet six times on monday!!!!”…) already went down, which is a shame as this site was really iworth reading before there was Xiaomi hyping all over the place.
Your fucking solution is very simple: DON’T READ. Who the hell is FORCING you? Check the name of this joint: MIKE CANE’S. Not YOURS.
