torn between 2 tablets. Nook Color or Hyundai A7

I was looking at some sub-$100 tablets for when I am out that would fit in a coat pocket I was looking for a 7' to privide a good combination between portability and view-ability. Initially I was going to get the Nook Color until I found the Hyundai A7 for $99 shipped. On one hand the Nook Color has the nicer display but the Hyundai seems more able for games.

Hyundai isn't the biggest name in tablets, i would be very wary of the device, do you research and be sure to check out user reviews, as in more then one.

Based on the specs the Hyundai has an advvantage but the Nook Tablet has much more developer support for rooting and custom ROMs and any issues you may have. With generic brands you don't get that so often,

I would vote for the Nook too, as I read this comparison, found the NOOk really not bad:

I found someone on youtube that has the Hyundai tablet that posted some actual real world usage on it looks pretty good so far. I commented on it in what is probably some really broken russian from google translate to find out what kind of battery life he gets.

Hyundai A7 was released in mid January; focalprice started to take order 1st wk of Feb; and they do it 'slowly'; The first batch orders probably filled by now from China, and it took 2 - 6 wk to receive merchandise from China to US, then the reviews will start to appear. Yes, I have placed an order, and yes, it has been shipped. No. I have NOT received mine yet. So, if you would like to wait for the review, it is going to be a long wait.
Sure, I will post when I got mine.

I have ordered from them before, they are very slow, but they are legit and it will come. I have no complaint about focalprice.

I bought my Hyundai A7 from another site. It works fine. Performance for games like Angry Birds, Rio, Seasons, is all very good. No lag at all. It came with Android ICS. It does NOT have the official Google App Market. It'll initially boot in Chinese. You can muddle your way through the options screens to get it into other languages. It doesn't have Flash Player installed, but it will install successfully. If anybody comes up with an easy way to root one of these or get the official App Market working, I'd love to hear it.

what is your battery life like?

**jrmorgan123** · 03-14-2012, 07:28 PM

I haven't timed the battery life but haven't had anything to complain about. The latest ROM DOES have Google's App Market and Flash installed. I found links to the newest ROM and installation instructions through Googling.
