Of course that’s the price in China, so it’s normal its going to sell for...[Read More]

Onda kicked off a press event today and posted quite a bit on their new Core M 5Y10 powered tablet on Weibo. It’s called the Onda V116w Core M, luckly it’s not the same v116w just with a Core M I reviewed a couple of months back.

Opening ...[Read More]
