Here’s a 8-minute video tour of the JWD 7″ AllWinner A10 Factory.
Here they are assembling 10.1″ AllWinner A10 based tablets.
This is a large factory making AllWinner based tablets and more. This is the largest best organized factory I have visited yet in Shenzhen, it features the bunny suits, dust control etc. They manufacture AllWinner A10/A13 Tablets, pocket audio recorders and some other things.
Check how the now famous MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC AllWinner A10 HDMI Stick is being manufactured in Shenzhen China. This is the factory that likely manufactures for all the different brands that have gotten blog coverage over the past few weeks featuring this same design.
Eken is one of the leaders in Tablet and in-Vehicle Dash Camera Recorders. Here’s a tour of their Camera recorders factory.
See how they manufacture AllWinner A10 Tablet motherboards.
They are assembling AllWinner A10/13 Tablets and MediaTek phones.
Here’s an interview filmed at the AmLogic Headquarters in Shenzhen China.
Geniatech is the leader in AmLogic based Android set-top-boxes, take a look inside their Shenzhen headquarters. I previously filmed the latest products from Geniatech at Computex 2012, CES 2012, China Sourcing Fair 2011 and CES 2011.
Check out this wearable computer! It’s a 17″ or 20″ large touch screen that you can carry around, can be used for advertising purposes, communicating information to many people at conferences and other things like that.
Cheap 7″ Android tablet from MSI. Post in the comments if you can find the info about which processor they use.
Plug the module to Tablet dock, Desktop Dock, Set-top-box Dock, the PC module can be ARM or x86.
Here at Computex 2012, we take a look at the Arena Scientific booth, checking out their tablets. Arena Scientific produces these devices for Mediacom.

This is not yet AMD announcing the licencing of ARM Cortex-A15, Cortex-A7, big.LITTLE, Mali-T658 and ARMv8, but it’s a big deal for ARM and AMD to jointly announce two new major partnerships in one week.
Basically, ARM TrustZone (2) nears becoming the world standard to 100% safely replace online passwords and to securely authenticate everyone online. And ARM and AMD really want to make it easier for developers to use all chips on an SoC for attaining a maximum performance, thus enabling broad GPGPU compute etc.
Theo Valich reports on VR-Zone.com that sources at Taiwanese PC/Tablet manufacturers are complaining that Microsoft wants to charge an enormous $85 licence for Windows 8 RT on ARM. $85 can be nearly double the price of a completely smooth Android tablet hardware, and Microsoft wants to charge that $85 for the software licence?
I don’t mind Microsoft charging whatever they want for their proprietary software. The most important thing we need to demand from Microsoft and to demand from the industry is for these devices to be made available with Windows RT as only an option, something that the consumers must have the choice to not buy and to not use. Consumers should have the choice to pay $85 less and have the same hardware boot Android or Ubuntu for free. Consumers should basically buy an Android device and have the choice to “install” Windows 8 RT as an optional multi-boot function. Basically, Microsoft can put Windows RT up as a $85 paid app in the Google Play store.
If Microsoft does not like the idea of RT “simply” being an app on Android, they need to provide that choice in some type of multi-boot screen of some type. Let consumers type in their credit card infos and send the $85 to Microsoft if they want to have the option to boot into Windows RT and get the Microsoft Office, Metro and whatever else comes with that. Perhaps some keyboard shortcut or an OS switch hardware button should thus allow users to instantly switch to Android, to Ubuntu and to any other open or closed OS of their choice.
Forcing users to pay the $85 Windows RT licence should be unacceptable. It has been common practice on x86 for far too long and it needs to stop now with ARM. I actually think Microsoft can only gain market share on this new class of hardware if they accept and go with the multi-boot strategy. I think many consumers wouldn’t mind having Windows RT as a multi-boot option on their hardware but I think few consumers would actually demand being locked into only having Windows RT. Obviously, if Microsoft makes Windows RT a $30 option it becomes more popular, and if Microsoft makes Windows RT free and open source, then they’dd obviously maximize their chances.
And if people really want the Windows 8 style tile interface and use it on any cheap Android tablet they can already download and use a fake Windows 8 home replacement as I show in this video:
I was looking for it at Computex, I couldn’t find it being publicly demonstrated yet, but here it is on a 1-minute video. This new OMAP4470 ARM Powered Laptop from Toshiba looks nice! Now it’s going to be even nicer when/if it gets confirmed that this new Toshiba ARM Powered Laptop can legally multi-boot with Android, Chrome OS and Ubuntu and preferably be sold well below $500 with or without the hopefully optional $85 Windows RT licence.
Calxeda provides an update on their ARM Powered Server SoC at Computex 2012, it’s a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor optimized for using in Servers.
