Google Books PDF Test: Surface Japan
Something is very screwy in Google Books PDF land.
I did a bunch of new tests yesterday.
It turns out my prior iPad Mini 2 test that I got so excited over was a mirage.
Surface Japan is a 13.38MB Google Books PDF. It should be a breeze for any tablet to handle. Especially the iPad Mini 2.
Instead … well, see the videos after the break.

Onda: More Tablets Coming In August
PadNews has an interview with two Onda officials that Google Translate mangles into near-incomprehensibility [Google Translate].
But at the end, this bit is clear enough:

I don’t know the implications of the new Intel CR V2 CPU. It’s not something I’ve studied.

iFive Mini 4: iambillbil Performance Evaluation
At the IMP3Net forum, iambillbil concludes his coverage of the iFive Mini 4 engineering sample with a performance evaluation [Google Translate]. A portion of the post is locked, but some of that information is here.
As expected, most of its operation is smooth.
Where it falls down is in some video formats and large games.

iFive Mini 4: First AnTuTu V5 Beta 1 Score
According to a new thread at 5Fans forum, iFive Mini 4 scores [Google Translate]:
AnTuTu 4.x = 38,644 points
AnTuTu 5.x beta 1 = 35,701 points
Instead of increasing, it decreases! I wonder if it’s now taking into account the speed of RAM and its throughput?
Same-day update: AnTuTu screens added after the break.
