first of all thanks , well actually here while i am in china i can see loads of cheap tablets may be even less than a 100 $ and some of them are a bit goodie etc .But neverthless what i really wanted to know is that if some one was having a chinese tablet ,did they ever get a chance to upgrade from the stock version ? like if the tab was having 2.3.7 ,could we really upgrade it to jellybean 4.1.1?

No. What you see is what you get.
Get specs which u think u can live with, don't go under.
For instance, if u think an A10 is good enough u could he very disappointed later on. Or with 512MB RAM may not be enough for certain Apps. Or a 4GB NAND. Or lack of microSD, ffc, Wifi n, Bluetooth.
My last advice is to not trust the salesman, they are used to lying about specs and never accept a refund or warranty. What you see is literally what you get.

I have Zenithink ZT280 C71, was USD $80. I would not recommend it. Battery life is crap, wifi antenna is awful, making it impossible to use. It overheats and touchsceen sensor goes crazy. It came with Android 4.0 and that was bad... slow and lots of app incompatibility (no Flash, no Netflix, Popcap games don't work, etc.). Downgraded to 2.3 community ROM and it's much better, but still not very useful because of the lack of wifi if you are more than 3 meters from the wireless access point (and I'm not kidding about that distance).

Buy either from cube or pipo both Dual core ips screen tablets are being sold around 150$ online so it should be 30$ or more cheap in china.

The days of buying craplets are numbered.
The Nexus7 (16GB) is exceptional value for $199.
Grab a used Transformer Prime with the Keyboard for $230, yes it sucks that you don't get GPS but everything else is flagship quality with modern specs and great design. And don't forget, community support !!!!
Those choices are much more value for money than a $150 craplet without a warranty.

google nexus 7 still costs around 250$ here. And i dont think all of chinese tabs are crap. something that comes from google but no expandable memory thats a no go for me . Data plans aren't cheap here that i upload and download from their cloud storage.
You think chinese tabs days are numbered but i dont think so they are also moving on from dual core to quad core now . Also they are improving there build quality.

alright i am going for G nexus 7 then ,couldnt get an immediate response from you guys about that novo 7 fire tab .I believe this is a good idea that i choose GN7 though i am still waiting for your suggestion.Even though i have already made up my mind about google nexus 7,it is about 1600 RMB which is about 250 $ so that is a better choice ,right ?
