Mike Lee – :
I was able to get a hold of Ainol NOVO 7 Burning at the Hong Kong show two months ago – I was truly amazed by its beauty. It’s hard to believe it’s made by a Chinese company – I guess they have learned the tricks from Apple, now they are making Apple quality products with much lower cost.
Any way, I felt NOVO 7 Burning gave me everything I want – the metal finish is so perfect, making it look like an art.
You want power? The dual-core CPU and quad-core GPU are so fast, I don’t think I need anything faster.
You want clarity of picture? Well, the 1280×800 IPS screen with 180 degree view angle is the closest one to Apple’s Retina Display that you can find.
You need more storage? It can add another 32GB storage on top of 16GB flash memory.
You want a high quality point-and-shoot camera? the 5MP rear camera is certainly good enough to replace your pocket size camera.
Want to watch FLASH videos? It has the best hardware rendered FLASH.
