A user has posted to QQ a video showing a variety of applications running on the iFive Mini 3GS.
The original 5Fans post [Google Translate] and the full QQ video.
I tried to rip the video and had a mixed result. Out of the near 14-minute video, only the last 9 minutes ripped. Still, it’s of interest and can be seen after the break.
This tablet looks to be snappy and considerably faster than the Retina-class iFive Mini 3. I don’t see any hiccups in the video. The screen is also much brighter than the Mini 3.
Update May 9 2014: Someone else managed to post the entire video to YouTube, so I’m embedding that version here instead.
Hop over to the QQ page to see the entire video which shows various aspects of the tablet itself in the missing 5 minutes at the beginning.

Seems solid :)
Any words of the 9.7″ variant? I find the mini too small.
Not yet. The larger tablets are still using the 3188 CPU. Wait til they switch to the 3288 or MediaTek. Or you could go for the Onda V975i or V975m — Intel or Amlogic CPUs.
I just checked them out on the official Onda website. I’m definitely looking at A Retina display, which they both have but I’m worried about performance, especially when pinch zooming and in regards to their custom android skin (heavily modded ios-like). Have you heard good things? The V975i look a bit better but is an Intel chip…
Over at XDA Developers is a long thread that should answer all of our concerns about the Onda V975m:

Just be aware of the port problems:

The Onda V975i hasn’t been reviewed yet but the similarly-specced Teclast X98 3G has been:

Really, these next-gen tablets don’t seem to suffer from the same stuttering problems as the 3188 and A31-based tablets of the past. Any one of them should be generally just fine. What mainly interests people outside of China is if ROM modders will buy them and create custom ROMs.
Well custom recovery has been made for the Onda v975m. I was planning to buy that tablet; but there where just too many unfixed issues at the time (and not sure if they are fixed now).
