Maylong M-150 Tablet at Walgreens - Page 5

RainmanP · 10-30-2010, 12:32 PM

Tipstir,
A couple of times you have mentioned having capture dumps redirected to SD card. Since many of us are relative neophytes with Android can you describe how to change this?

Also, As I have mentioned, in the Camera app I have selected SD card as storage destination. The Camera seems to take a shot, but I cannot find the image anywhere. What am I not doing?
Thanks,
Raymond

This device can use the itouch/iphone/ipod/ipad 30-pin to USB data cable. You can buy it generic online dirt cheap on Amazon or go out to the store like RS has them in black too. This is how I connect my PC to the ePad which the Maylong M-150 is based on. You don't need any USB drivers for Android with these devices. You should see two drives: Internal and external drives appear.

I set my screen captures to external 4GB Class (4) microSDHC you can go higher 16GB or 32GB.

Let me know if you can see the below images: There is suppose to be print capture icon

Tipstir,
Thanks! I found the screen shot settings. It is in the Picture Capture app. I thought I had looked there, but I guess not. Still can't figure getting Camera images to store on the SD card.

I have noticed you mention of the iPod 30-pin to USB cable. I'm not clear how it can be used. The Maylong does not have an iPod/iPhone dock-type connector.

Yes I can see the screenshot images you post. Thanks for those!

I provide users with collection of tools, apps, wallpaper in my PowerTools 2010 there is more than one now. So you can change the background images also randomly on the file. Plus all what you see.

Go here

hello all. I have enjoyed reading your posts. I have been wanting to get a tablet device ever since the Ipad was announced, however I really could not see paying 500.00for it. I have seen other tablets being sold on ebay from Hong Kong and so forth, but was not really sure about getting something from overseas and having it not work and going through the hassle of returning and refunding.

I have seen so many people posting on the net criticizing and blasting these inexpensive tablets. Calling them "crappy" or a "piece of junk", and these are people who haven't even tried the product!

Dont get me wrong, I have an iphone and am very happy with it, although basically I would like something with a bigger screen to watch videos while taking the train to work, and i really dont want to pay 500.00 for it.

I was eagerly awaiting the Samsung Tab to finally hit the states, but then found it was going to cost at least 400.00. I dont need 3g thats why I have the iphone lol.

I ordered the Maylong and cannot wait till it gets here. It's 100.00 bucks. If it comes out of the box "crappy", then I can take it back to Walgreens. If it last for a year, I feel i got my money's worth. I am not expecting some high end tablet than can help me rule the world. I just want a nice device with a good size screen. The wifi, ebook reader itself and any other extras are a plus in my book (tipster, your screenshoots look great!). And for memory and speed, my iphone is about 600mhz with 256 ram, so i really should not see that much of a difference. Thanks to listening to me ramble, thanks for your positive post and long live inexpensive tablets!!

Crypto over at droidforum.net has a great table comparing
available Android tablets. See

http://sf-zone.net/android_tablets/

In particular, take a look at the Wisatech (Wits) buy now
button, for several very nice videos--one comparing 3
Android 2.1/2.2 tablets, another showing how to get access to Android
market with the Wisatech (the only 2.2 tablet as of now--
except 2 new Herotabs--one a 300 capacitative 10.1"!!!)
Wisatech 2.2 also have flash !!!

bishop793,
I think the Maylong and other inexpensive tablets are OK as long as you are realistic about what you expect from a $100 device. It's a it slow, but if you look at it as a pretty good ebook reader and portable email device it's not bad. On the videos I have tried, the video lags way behind the audio. MP4 files transcoded using default iPhone parameters. I have not had time to fool with trying to get video working. I keep hoping someone will chime in with some ideas on that.

tipstir · 10-30-2010, 10:33 PM

bishop793.

From my experience with the ePad the Maylong shouldn't be any different. The price you pay for the Android OS 1.6 on 800x480 16:9 dual speaker stereo sound, mic, camera/video camera is much more than you get with the high end. I am not sure you get 3G as that is on the ePad. The step up would be Coby KYROS that's heavy because of the glass layer instead of plastic layer you get on ePad and M-150 which is lighter.

RainmanP, video would be: 400x240p If you want to learn more go here I've found a free Windows program to convert on the fly.

Here's that 30-pin to USB to PC adapter

bishop793 · 10-31-2010, 09:33 AM

Thanks Tipster and rainmanp for your input. The Coby sounds pleasing. I am also getting interested in the ZT-180. Higher processor, 10.1 screen, higher OS. Although the ram is the same. I will check the forum for reviews. Thanks again.

Grateful11 · 10-31-2010, 01:10 PM

Is the verdict out on whether or not the Maylong will load and read pdf's?
Thanks

RainmanP · 10-31-2010, 04:34 PM

Tipstir,
Thanks for the info on the iPod/iPhone/iPad adapter. The Maylong does not have that. I wish it did since I have many of those cables!

tipstir · 10-31-2010, 04:51 PM

You don't have this?

Too do this

RainmanP · 10-31-2010, 09:55 PM

Unfortunately, no. On the Maylong M-150 the port for the USB/ethernet dongle is narrower and unlike anything I have seen. The USB ports are on the "upper" side, away from the user. I'm pretty sure vendors have to pay a license to Apple to incorporate the iPod universal dock connector, don't they? I will try to remember to take a pic of the Maylong dongle side by side with an iPod connector.

I wish all devices would stick with one of the standard USB configurations - full size A, mini, or micro.

Oh you got the newer design

Oh by-the-way there is a new ROM out Seems to have some of my tweaks and Collection.

papa709394 · 11-01-2010, 09:24 AM

Tipstir,
Thanks for your information.
From all I read, the ROM "EPAD 256M and 128M 1.9_88 rooted v0.3 WORKING MARKET FROM FLASH" is not Android 2.1.
Is it Android 1.9? with Build number 1.9_88 rooted?
The new ROM as mentioned in your site is Android 1.9 with Build number 2.0_88 and it seems to be better than Android 1.6 (from the picture).
