Transform your generic tablet into a win 7 device

Assuming that you already have HcH's Honeycomb hybrid Uberoid 9.1.2 or 10,  then all you have to download and install is Android Seven pro. Google it, I'm sure there's lots of it on the web.

This particular tablet is the 8" Eken M003s (not L*n*v*). $100 in the local E-Tiangge. This slate is pretty much useful to those who wants to read their e-books, (pdf's, cbr's) watch youtube, (very fast)  and edit some docs.

Not so much in the 3D gaming department though.. it can only manage High-Res Flash games.

Still, this is one good tab.
