Ainovo NOVO7 Pro Reviews

Should you buy a Novo7 Basic? Well, no. The Kindle Fire may be double the cost, but it provides an excellent e-reader experience and an ecosystem to support expanded use. The Nook Tablet is also a superior device, to say nothing of more expensive Android tablets and the iPad 2. Even at $99, the Novo7 Basic simply doesn't have enough utility for the average consumer when you consider the app issues and poor screen quality. The tablet may find a home in emerging markets and in that context, it definitely presents a strong challenge to the likes of the Ubislate 7. Should you pay attention to the Novo7 Basic? Absolutely. Android is running pell-mell into a future where it needs to support multiple architectures — most importantly Intel's Medfield chips. The Novo7 Basic is an example of how not to do this: an Android tablet with custom versions of apps, no ecosystem support, and little thought given to the real and deep problems of a new processor architecture. Google will need to work harder than ever to ensure that most Android apps will work on all devices, because if the Novo7 Basic is the canary in the fragmentation coal mine, Android may never dig itself out.
