Sorry for talking about the seller, but anyone heard about the seller W2COMP which is pre-ordering this ampe a10? Or are there any other seller recommend?

Probably won't be particularly brilliant, if it's anything like some other Ampe products.
It's a cheap Chinese Android tablet, you get what you pay for. I have an A76, has lousy battery life(2 hours), mediocre screen, fluky wifi, buggy software, and doesn't work with 3G USB modems, even though it's supposed to. The store where I bought mine had two other Ampe tablets, one was DOA and the other had a faulty touch screen, so apparently Ampe's QA is poor or non-existant.
If anyone is considering buying one of these from Ebay or a Chinese wholesaler, it's caveat emptor.

That sounds about right for off-brand cheap Chinese tablets. Because there's just so many of these things, all different, devs are unable to test their apps with them most of them, unknown specs, etc, so they're tagged as incompatible. Unlike mainstream devices, such as Samsung or Asus.

Root maybe possible, in fact quite a few Chinese devices are already rooted. My Ampe A76 was already rooted. However if you've got one that isn't rooted, it's rather pot-luck whether your particular tablet can be rooted with a tool like SuperOneClick. There's also a risk of bricking your device as well, if you try a rooting method that isn't suitable.
