The Ampe A10 is a Chinese tablet with a 1.2 GHz Freescale i.MX6 Quad processor, Vivante GC2000 graphics, and a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display. It runs Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and sells for about $220 at PandaWill.
But if you’re looking to save $220, here’s your chance to get one for free. We’re kicking off the Liliputing 2012 Holiday Giveaway with this quad-core tablet.
As I mentioned when I reviewed this Ampe A10, it’s not the fastest around, and the build quality and battery life leave a bit to be desired. But it’s as reasonably zippy device which scores about twice as high on most benchmarks as, say, a first generation NOOK Tablet or Amazon Kindle Fire.
This tablet also has some serious potential as a developer-friendly device, thanks to its Freescale i.MX6 processor. Freescale has released quite a bit of documentation for this chipset, which could help developers write better, or at least different software for the device, or port other Linux-based operating systems to run on the device.
CNX Software has a pretty good overview of some of the available documentation and tools.
This contest is for the exact same unit I reviewed recently. That means you get the same dead pixel and screen bubble I found.
A set of headphones and a micro USB to full sized USB adapter are included in the package.
How to win: Leave a comment by midnight, 11/26/2012
All you have to do to enter this contest is leave a comment below — and make sure that I have a way to contact you by making sure there’s an email address, Facebook, Google, or Twitter account associated with your Disqus commenting account.

Entries must be received by midnight, Eastern Standard Time, Monday, November 26th, 2012.
Here’s a bit more print:
- This contest is only open to residents of the continental United States (since I’m footing the bill for shipping… if you’re outside the US and willing to pay $20 or so in shipping costs, go ahead and enter, and let me know in your comment).
- Please leave only one comment on this post. Leaving multiple comments will disqualify you.
- Winners will be randomly chosen from all valid entries.
- Winners have 48 hours to respond after they’ve been selected. If we cannot contact a winner, we will choose another winner at random.
- Writers for Liliputing and their friends and family members cannot enter this contest.
- We’ll be running a few more contests in the coming days — and you can only win once during the Liliputing 2012 Holiday Giveaway. Since this is the first giveaway, pretty much anyone can win.
Thanks to PandaWill for supplying Liliputing with this Ampe A10 tablet.

I’m in Puerto Rico and would gladly pay the $20 shipping if I win. Thanks for including us in the give-aways. I’ve followed Liliputing since I bought my first netbook back in the days when my Asus 1000HA was one of the most desired.
Hey Brad, thanks for offering us a chance at getting our hands on the Ampre A10. In the spirit of giving, I hope I win this excellent tablet so I can sell it and give the money to several charities. The Ampe would be tempting to keep for myself, but I don’t have the heart to do it. So many suffer in this world, it’s just nice to help out a soul or two.
Thanks again.
Count me in! I’d love one of these as my daughter’s Xmas gift.
Thanks
I want to participate! I’m argentinian, in case I win I pay the shipping!

Nice early xmas present. If I don’t win, I hope someone deserving does, like one of those who lost everything in Sandy or a person serving in the military.
This would be a nice stocking stuffer. I hope I am picked.
A lovely little sweepstakes. I’ve become a daily reader over the last year or so.
So where did all these commenters come from…. 🙂

So here’s comment. Just to keep up my record of never winning anything.
Could definitely use one of these! Thanks Liliputing! Y’all are the best.
Liliputing is one of my favourite blogs and now one can even win something, just great! Oh an besides, I am looking forward to pay the shipping 🙂
Keep up the great work.
You mentioned in your review about the software upgrade that could probably fix some of the bugs. From PandaWill’s site, it’s running Android 4.0.4, an Ice Cream Sandwich version. In terms of upgrade, what is the upgrade cycle? Do you think a Jelly Bean update could be expected soon? A battery of 8 hours is nice. But from your review, it’s nowhere near that. Do you think it has a lemon battery of some sort?
Ampe A10 tablet is a good starter tablet with its quad-core processor. It’s fine for browsing the internet. I’m fine with the sluggish response times for taps and gestures. I’m not even worried about that blue pixel, nor that center bubble. If it performs the tasks at hand, everything else will be icings on the cake. I hope I could win this. This will be my very first tablet. And nothing beats free! Thank you Liliputing and PandaWill in advance!
Why, that would be lovely!
The Ampe A10
Willing to pay for shipping outside the US.
liliputing became a huge part of my news reading rotation because of all the android on a usb stick product news.
Happy Holidays!!!
Yay… love to get a new toy from Santa!
Great way to try a new product.
Thanks for this chance! Im willing to pay for the shipping and handling for outside the US.
quad cor tablet sounds yummy
It is always sunny in Cyprus.I hope I will be lucky!
Free makes everything awesome!
I would love to win this item. Thanks for the chance to win.
This would be great as an intro to tablets
I would use this.
I would really appreciate this..
Me! Me! Me! Free is my favorite price.
Awesome way to clean up your desk.
If I win, I will pay all S&H with a smile in my face =)
I am not picky, would love to have this.
Count me in!
Thanks for the chance, be glad to pay S&H if I win.
I am in and would even pay for the shipping here in the States. Has to be better than a 3 year old netbook.
Thank you for the opportunity. I’m in.
Hey Brad, I just want to say (even if I am not chosen) I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the great work! 🙂
I am in! just hope for some luck!
PS. outside of US, willing to cover shipping
Quad core on the floor and a half-way decent
GPU and you’re well equipped to out-do the weather
prediction as to which towns a cyclone system
will rain upon and which it will leave dry.
i’m in… dead pixel and all!
I’ve been considering getting a cheap Android device, just to start mucking about with the OS. Free is cheap. Thanx!
I think the tablet is quite good and I definitely don’t mind spending $20 on it! Please count me in 🙂
The Kindle Fire has really made my life a lot easier. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this thing! It is very user friendly so I didn’t have to go searching the internet for tutorials. Here’s the one I got on Amazon https://amzn.to/QdkqCN. If you’re looking to get a tablet I’d recommend the Kindle Fire over the other tablets, it really blows them away. 🙂
Looks nice, wouldn’t mind having one
Thanks for the chance! :))
Hmm, 20$ or so doesnt seem too much for a tablet worth 200$, Im in, never won anything and this isnt probably to be any different, but its interesting to take part :D! Im from Europe.
I am down
sure would be an awesome present for my daughters
Dude …….. I am so in ,
My Touchpad bit it.
I’m always up for a reasonably zippy device….Good luck to all…
