JXD S7100 Android tablet rips off PlayStation, Wii U

by David Hinkle on Dec 28th 2011 9:00AM

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery -- what do they say about straight-up theft? A lot of the S7100 Android gaming tablet from JXD is taken from other gaming companies: the form factor and general look of the S7100 is clearly inspired by the Wii U, and the characters on the d-pad are the iconic PlayStation button icons. Heck, the manufacturer's website looks like iTunes!

The S7100 is moderately priced at $140 and sports an 800 x 480 capacitive touch-screen, ARM Cortex A9 CPU, Mali 400 GPU, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 0.3 megapixel front camera and a 2.0 megapixel rear camera, plus HDMI-out. See it in action in the video above.

Nice...

@BG GRZZ '

But he's clearly cheating at Fruit Ninja, swiping his whole hand and shit. Definitely NOT nice.

@BG GRZZ
So basically this is just the next step up from those chinese MP3 and MP4 players that play tons of NES and Genesis games through emulator. giving it an Android face just makes it more high profile. Not being available until Dec 2012 is going to kill it's potentail for sales anywhere else but china where the Vita isnt likely to be out for some time even with the lower price.

NOPE NOPE NOPE

@Rob Liv

what? Is this some sort of spam?

@Rob Liv

Never say never bro...

@Morisato13

But he didn't say never, he said NOPE.

And I agree wholeheartedly.

@eat it
It wasn't spam... but i think Joystiq just rick-rolled us.... or rather, Bieb-rolled us.

"512MB of RAM"

lulz...

Although at $140 this thing is decently spec'd!

@Co

The Vita only has 512mg of RAM.

@This Little Man Says His Name Is

This appears to be an android tablet based... thing.

My Incredible 2 has 768 MB of ram for goodness sake!

@This Little Man Says His Name Is

Milligrams?!

Well well, I see a cease and desist in someone's future!

@baby sea tuna
Good luck enforcing a design patent in China.

@mrantimatter

Obviously you haven't played my android game Squeenix Knight, Kung-Fu Patent Lawyer.

"Youku website rips off YouTube" lol, they are all about ripping off!

Im... so confused...

Can we all agree that Fruit Ninja is the easiest game ever? I mean I'm not even sure if you can lose. Don't know why it's so successful.

@LittleMofreaky

Yeah, and what's up with airline food?! Larf!

@LittleMofreaky It's about trying to hit higher and higher scores which gets VERY hard, not dying for a while was never the premise of Fruit Ninja.

@baby sea tuna I just had a "what I should have said was nothing" moment sorry :(

Asside from the PS icons, I don't see the big deal. Gameloft has made a business out of this kind of thing. And Nintendo should be happy that somebody thinks the Wii-U looks good enough to copy. Hell, this will probably sell more than the Wii-U. :-)

@Gemini Ace The Wii U is not a tablet.

@Gemini Ace If you visit the site, it's a smorgasboard of stolen IP. They show emulated Nintendo titles running on it, all the app icons are nicked from iOS, etc.

A tablet form of MARIO64? Sign me up!

@foxhound

I'm just impressed that it controlled that well without using the analog nubbin.

@baby sea tuna: Honestly, I'm not. Go back and play Mario 64 DS again using the D-Pad for movement. The characters' movement compensates for the lack of precision offered by an analog.

And yes, that WAS the DS, perhaps the control scheme was tweaked slightly to allow for this? Not likely. I've seen the original Mario 64 played on an emulator with a keyboard. Virtually the same result, from what I could tell.

All that segment of the video confirmed for me was that the tablet was most definitely running some re-purposed N64 emulator (as if anyone needed convincing).

I think you mean their website is a complete ripoff of Apple's website.

@The Scout

Why stop there?

@baby sea tuna Apple Stoer lol

@baby sea tuna
Love the comments in that article.

i know that rip things off are bad but..... that is one good looking tablet.... want one

This company is a ripoff of a ripoff of a ripoff...

@pluupy
By the way, Joystiq, don't link to thier website as they give away free GBA roms on there.

@pluupy

RIPCEPTION

I guess I could see some similarity to the Wii U controller (which is not the system), but did they really see that, and then design, engineer and manufacture this thing in the last 6 months since it was officially revealed? That's impressive!

@radioactivez0r
No...it's not. All they did was take one of their existing tablets, tweak the resolution, and put it in that shell.

@pluupy Awww, sad face.

Tomb Raider footage was sped up. Probably because it ran so slow.

I want just to support this company .

:goes to the website:

"WE ARE DIFFERENT"

Yeah, not different enough it seems...

@Shockwave

I'm different!

Okay, so I'm curious is it streaming the Nintendo games? So it's essentialy a tablet driven hardware platform for an onlive like service? Pretty ingenious honestly. Not something I'd ever buy but at 140 bucks not bad entry level for the hardware.

@commonperson

It's probably running the games on emulators on the tablet.

No it plays Android games and apps, including Nintendo emulators.

@This Little Man Says His Name Is and @Elrazner

Ah okay, so it's a platform based in large part around piracy. It'll do gangbusters in China and probably well in Russia but other markets will be a bit tougher. Too bad it looks to be a nice piece of kit too bad the model is based on emulators and romz which will prevent it from taking off in a lot of regions.

...release the hounds.

a deal so good it's practically a steal

oh god taking a second look at their website, they also have many PSP ripoffs DAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNN

and what it seems to be a pink GBA micro (JXD200B)

Dammit, even Chinese YouKube has unskippable ads in front of their videos. I can't escape!
