This is one of the hazards of being on the cutting edge and ordering any Chinese tablet:
When I wanted to charge it for the first time, the charger explode. Now with a new charger, the battery does not charge and I think the video card and battery got fried with the incident. It works fine for a minute or so but then I get this distorted image.
See the video after the break.
Those seeking an alternative to the Chuwi V88 might want to look at the ICOO Fatty 2, which shares many design elements and is also based on the powerful Rockchip 3188 platform.

After the break, the significant points from the review.
Vido has added plastic to the back of its clone.
Why?
Because owners of clones with all-metal backs have complained about weak WiFi reception. Even the iPad and iPad Mini have plastic added to their backs for the WiFi and Bluetooth antennas.
See the video from Charbax after the break.
So far, the big news today is the unveiling of a seven-inch Windows 8 (as in full 8, not RT) tablet.
And Inventec’s alleged “designers” went straight back the iMac G3 era for “inspiration.”
See the gory video after the break.

It’s again in the 12,000 range.
After the break, a brief video — in German — showing the AnTuTu score (but not the entire AnTuTu test running live). The video is interesting for showing Google search being used via voice.
I haven’t swept all of the Net yet, so there might be more details forthcoming (I will update the post at bottom, if necessary), but right now Notebook Italia is reporting [Google English] that known brand name MSI has announced the Primo 81, which looks to me like a rebadged Onda V818 without the Onda widgets and home screen. It’s the typical AllWinner A31s-based platform specs, down to the inadequate 1GB of RAM.
Slatedroid: How to root the Chuwi V88
To skip scrolling, see this one forum post.
The usual caution: You can brick the tablet if something goes awry.
After the break, a video illustrating the process.
Did you know there’s a magnet inside the Chuwi V88? I didn’t. It will work with certain covers and cases ala the iPad Mini Smart Cover.
After the break, a video demonstrating it.
Android 4.2.2 for the Onda V818 could roll out today.
There’s a downloadable RAR file for 4.2.2 for their V972 tablet.
I haven’t yet seen a link for the V818. When I do, I will update this post.
I’m very interested to see this update and if it changes the customized-by-Onda Settings UI. I’d also like to see new AnTuTu scores.
After the break, I’m repeating the video from AllWinner that shows their 4.2.2 update running on the Onda V818.
Same-day update: This 4.2.2 rollout is over the next week and is a public beta. It’s probably best to wait for the final firmware to show up at the Onda download page or to get the OTA notification.

I’ve never seen that before.
For all the moves Google has made to make YouTube “social,” they overlooked that obvious move — until now.
I’d like to see it across all of YouTube.
