Ainol Aurora

Yes , had it for about 3-4 weeks now. I am based in the UK and i have updated ICS to 4.03.9 and Flash which has made it alot more stable, I can now watch BBC iplayer in fantastic clarity.
The IPS screen is a sheer delight, colours are superb, very clear picture and the viewing angle is alot better than a non IPS screen.
Overall the tablet is superb.
Anything you want to know about it just contact me.

I have had the Aurora tablet since the begining of March and I also live in the UK. I have updated the firmware and installed Flash. However I am still unable to watch BBC iPlayer or get the webcam to work properly when
making a Skype video call. Have you any thoughts on where I am going wrong?

I have installed the update 4.03.09 from the Gadgetfreakz website
Ainol Novo 7 Aurora - Android 4.0 - 7" IPS Tablet

this has allowed to me to watch BBC Iplayer clearly and without judder.
The update also allows you to update FLASH verrsion 11 .

I downloaded and installed the updated firmware from Gadgetfreakz as you suggested. However it would appear that there was then a problem with the OS because I received a repeated error message. I re-installed the firmware but again had the error message. So I re-installed the original firmware update - English (US) version - from www.***********.com and resigned myself to the fact that I cannot get BBC iPlayer and that I am restricted to making Skype Voice Only calls. Thank you for your interest in this matter

I bought a 16GB Aurora with new english packing from SpeMall, and arrived within 4 days via DHL, the tablet is great!
And seems the price of Aurora was reduced there, the 8GB version is for $158.99 shipped, and 16GB for $178.99. A little upset, but, i asked a $10 coupon from their customer service. I'm waitting the Elf II now! lol...
Good luck!
