However, a solid web connection is needed. The upgrade to Android 3.2 is a 181MB file which, over the PC Advisor office network at least, was reported as likely to take as long as three hours.

Performance is much the same, but the Chuwi has a significantly better build. The trade-off, of course, is the uncertainty of buying the Chuwi from a Chinese importer, and the fact you’ll have to pay extra for the keyboard and may incur a fee for import duty....
