Cottage Android 3.0 tablet infested?

Regarding whether or not the Android 3.0 system will be used by Shanzhai manufacturers, we have already done analysis before. Today, there is news that Google will adopt a new authorization mechanism in the Android 3.0 system. The issuance and use of this version of the system will be implemented. With more stringent restrictions, the cottage honeycomb flat panel system is more rampant, but there is a product known as domestic cottage honeycomb flat panel.

The online rumors of a Shenzhen-based MP4 vendor called Ainol will launch an Android 3.0 cellular tablet and release three designs. According to rumors, the product will be equipped with 1280 × 800 pixel capacitive touch screen, built-in SoChip Cortex-A9 processor, and supports WiFi and 3G, while supporting HDMI, MicroSD slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, front and rear camera head and other functions.

At first glance this product seems a little interesting, but there are many doubts here, let's analyze one by one.

1. As we all know, the most important feature of the Android 3.0 cellular system is the elimination of physical buttons. The common Android buttons such as search, home, return, and menu are designed into the system. Users can directly control the screen through the touch screen. In the design of Ainol, this product not only retains four physical buttons, but also designs the volume and power buttons, all on the right side of the screen.

2. The Ainol brand searched for Eno on the Internet and learned that this is a manufacturer of original MP4s, so it is not surprising that the products in the design drawings are like MP4s. However, a manufacturer of MP4 can smoothly transfer to the production of tablet PCs? Can they get cellular system related development tools and source code from Google to modify and optimize?

3. SoChip Cortex-A9 processor Android cellular system is also required for hardware, although Google does not explicitly limit, but the existing Android 3.0 Tablet PCs all use the Tegra 2 dual-core processor from NVIDIA, not only requires dual-core, It also limits the processor model, which means that the Android 3.0 cellular system is likely to be optimized only for this processor at present, and other manufacturers' processors are not yet applicable.

So, who is the SoChip Cortex-A9 processor? After the same search, it was found that SoChip was a solution provider from Shenzhen. It used to be the integrated solution used by MP4, that is, the processor chip, main board, and MP4 system were all integrated products. After the cottage manufacturers got the hands, they only needed to assemble. The upper shell is a finished MP4.

If the technology of a domestic solution manufacturer can reach the level of high-frequency Cortex-A9 processor integrated solutions, it has already been reported by the media, but this SoChip Cortex-A9 processor has never appeared before.

Is this really a cottage cellular tablet? Or is it just an ordinary MP4 using Android system?
