Hacking could work, as long as the bootloader is not locked (eFuses) in the factory. It is interesting to see if one could get firmware update file (and tools) for this tablet. We can see if firmware is encrypted and how open the design is.<br>

</div>According to the specs at that link:<br>
<br>
Battery capacity: 8000 mA / 3.7V polymer battery<br>
<br>
Assuming that they left the H out of 8000 mAH (milliampere-hours)<br>
<br>
8000mAH / 3 hours = 2600ma per hour<br>
<br>
2600ma x 3.7V = 9.6 watts total<br>
<br>
9.6W x 38% = 3.6W for the screen at 50% brightness, WiFi off<br>
<br>
9.6W - 3.6W = 6W for ARM SOC + RAM + Flash etc etc<br>
<br>
If we had the part numbers for the DDR3 we could estimate the power it<br>
consumes. Guesstimating for 1GB, DDR3, 1.5V around 1.8W.<br>
<br>
6W - 1.8W = 4.2W ARM SOC and whatever else is on<br>
<br>
But, I'm making lots of assumptions here.<br>
