The iFive Mini 4S / RePad 8 review is now online, also rebadged in the USA as the RePad 8 which is essentially the exact same tablet, just with a different logo or the rear panel and bottom speaker grill is slightly different. For $125 (The lowest I’ve seen it going) you get quite a lot, fully laminated 7,9-inch IPS panel with sharp 2048 x 1536 resolution in a full metal 6.9mm thin body. As ...[Read More]
