It is really hard to tell sometimes what hardware is powering the Android tablets that you find for sale on eBay. They all look very similar and unfortunately, the sellers rarely list the actual hardware specs when it comes to processor and integrated graphics. They focus instead on what you can do with the device. That's a fair enough sales tactic. Here's one that I do know has a VIA VT8505 ARM926 400MHz processor, the 7" iRobot or APad.
This is one of the most robust VIA tablet models that's quite easy to buy if you're in Australia, and because it supports the latest Android firmware, it has the most uses, like full support for YouTube and Skype. It also has Open Office installed. The information about what the tablet can and cannot do, and the hardware it has, is just about the most clear that I have come across on eBay.
They even have a few rods to say about VIA: "We have been selling APad since it was new in the market on July. We are selling the unit with VIA 400Mhz CPU 256MB Ram. We choose VIA rather than Rockchip as we know VIA is more reliable than Rockchip under our testing."
The price is also really fantastic at $129.99 including postage. With delivery in 3-5 business days, it's not too late to get this in time for Christmas!
