Android and firmware version
First lets have a look in the “About device” menu in Android
It’s confirmed that the device is running Android 2.1 (Eclair). The firmware release is dated 20110122, there is no firmware update for the moment. Actually there is no download in the support section of Arnova website.
Edit 20th March 2011: a custom firmware for the Arnova 10 is now available, it brings Android Market and root access on the tablet.
System information
As given by Quadrant application:
 |
 |
Internal memory dedicated to the system is 200 MB.
CPU speed
Quick System Info Pro reports an ARM926EJ-S rev 5 (v5l) 311.29Mhz processor. It is not sure yet, 311.29 Mhz is the full speed for the processor or if it’s an idle speed. We will do some more tests and let you know. From what we know, the Arnova 10 is using a Rockchip 2818 processor, which is limited to 640 Mhz (according to Wikipedia)
Quadrant Standard version run of full benchmark could not be executed as it gives an error “This device does not support stencil buffers” Reason is probably incomplete OpenGL implementation for this device.
We used the full version Quadrant to get the details, with 3D benchmark disabled.
Results are the following: Total=268, CPU=461, mem=213, I/O=594, 2D=74,3D=0 (3D not evaluated)
These numbers seem quite low, it’s a bit early to say if it’s the device (CPU) fault or a firmware issue. We’ll compare with similar devices to complete this review.
Other Benchmark results on Arnova 10 4GB
Linpack (tests mainly raw CPU power) gives: 3.963 MFLOPS
Smartbench 2011 (tests CPU power and 3D capabilities) gives: Productivity Index=167 / Games Index=92
Flash memory speed
We used ArcTools to benchmark the internal memory read/write speed.
We got a relatively disapointing low values of 4457 kB/s (Read), 1859 kB/s (Write), which is in the Class 2 range.
We recommend that you use an external faster SDCard if you plan to do disk intensive operations.

I purchased an Arnova 10 at Comp USA, it was a display model and did not have an instruction booklet. Can I download a copy somehow??
There you go:

I won’t find much in this manual anyway.
I can’t download drive for online live radio
Bonjour,pourrait-on m’expliquer comment je sais lire les pdf sur ma tablette arnova 10 je les ai Transférer de mon pc sur l’arnova mais quand je veux les lires impossible
Bonjour,
Il faut vous tout d’abord installer une application permettant de lire les PDF.
Vous pouvez trouver le Reader Acrobat sur l’Android Market, qui est accessible sur la tablette après avoir installé un firmware spécifique. voir ici
bonjour, j’ai aussi un problème pour lire les pdf, il y a reader acrobat mais il annonce chemin de fichier incorrect
Bernard,
Le problème se produit avec tous les PDF ou seulement certains fichiers ?
bonjour,
sur tous les fichiers
bonjour, j’ai installé Aldiko et tout fonctionne
mais vivement un mode d’emploi disponible
c’est bien qu’arctools fonctionne pour les tests de SDHC.
Pour Quadrant, les photos sont révélatrices, j’ai le même résultat que toi !
sur un Arnova 10 8GO, je plus prêt de 290 .
