JoyPad 81 Tablet PC

Kingcom Tablet PC

Kingcom had just recently released their own line of tablet pc to compete to the local market. Cherry Mobile had theirs, CD-R King had theirs, so maybe KingCom decided to launched their own tablet pc products too, and came Kingcom JoyPad 81 tablet pc.

Though we are not sure whether the JoyPad 81 came from the same Chinese OEM manufacturer or not but with the ultra uber cheap price tag, you can't help it but to feel doubtous.

Kingcom has their entire line of tablet pc, namely: JoyPad 71, JoyPad 72, JoyPad 73, JoyPad 81.
The JoyPad 81 model is the biggest tablet pc that has an 8 inches screen compare to other KingCom tablet pcs.

We can't however make a personal review for this JoyPad 81 of Kingcom as we have tried buying an unbranded made-in-china tablet pc for P4,500 to P6,000, and we have no plan of doing it again - well, unless we decided to jump on a 10 stories building too.

>>here's a review from a blogspot:
-"It was almost a month ago when I bought my first tablet, the Kingcom JoyPad 71. At first, it worked perfectly. All the apps I installed were working perfectly. Then after a few weeks, using the resistive touch screen became harder, as the screen wasn't responding to the right commands. And playing the pre-installed Angry Birds became harder too. Then after a couple of days, the touch screen started responding again. Then I started downloading more games and apps. There were some instances when the touch screen didn't respond, but most of the time, it worked perfectly. After a week, my tablet's touchscreen didn't work. I was thinking of having it repair with its warranty but I can't find the receipt.

Conclusion: I wasted P6,000 on a stupid tablet and trusted a Chinese manufacturer.

Again. I warn you. Never trust a Chinese manufacturer/product. Like Kingcom."
