Aldi's $249 Android tablet doesn't have a dual-core processor - Australian Techworld
Aldi's $249 Bauhn branded Android tablet

Aldi's $249 Bauhn branded Android tablet

Aldi's budget $249 Android tablet was incorrectly advertised as coming with a dual-core processor, it has been discovered.

The Bauhn branded 9.7in Android tablet went on sale yesterday morning through the German supermarket chain. The product was advertised as having a "dual-core 1GHz processor".

However, it appears the device — listed here as a product of Chinese OEM Tsxd (Shenzhen) Technology co. — is powered by a 1GHz Amlogic 8726-M3 Cortex A9 processor, which is a single core chip with separate graphics processor.

All references to the tablet appear to have been removed from the Bauhn Web site. That page previously linked to further details about the tablet and included specific reference to a dual-core processor. The sales packaging also lists a dual-core processor as one of the device's key features.

Despite the incorrect advertisement, Aldi is understood to have exhausted most stocks of the device across the country. A crowd of well over 100 people attempted to purchase the tablet at the North Sydney store in New South Wales yesterday morning, though only around 40 tablets were available.

PC World contacted an Aldi spokesperson yesterday to clarify stock levels and other details, but is yet to receive an official response. Aldi previously stated that stocks of the device would vary between stores and that it may sell out on the first day due to "unexpected high demand."

That demand comes on the back of cut price Australian manufacturer and retailer Kogan selling out stocks of a budget Android tablet in just four days last week. Like Aldi's Bauhn device, both of Kogan's 10in Agora tablets (8GB and 16GB models) run the latest 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version of Google's Android operating system.

PC World has contacted Aldi Australia for comment and will update this article with any new information when it comes to hand.

Hampshire 50-3, Kent | County Championship day one report - The Guardian

The rhododendrons were resplendent, the outfield verdant and occasionally the sun shone but on a day when Kent set out their marquees to celebrate the start of the 100th Tunbridge Wells Cricket Week, the Nevill Ground suffered only frustration.

A flash flood that soaked the royal spa town barely 48 hours ahead of the scheduled start to this four-day clash with Hampshire also helped create a sodden outfield and a crusty-topped pitch that one local likened to a creme brulee. Clearly, they still eat well in these parts.

With damp patches on the pitch and outfield the umpires, Richard Illingworth and Steve Gale, were understandably reticent to start and held five pitch inspections before finally succumbing to the slow hand-clapping that emanated, in the main, from the equally well-watered Camra marquee.

The match officials finally deemed play possible at 4.10pm, by which time the Guardian's former cricket correspondent Matthew Engel was to be found ensconced among the Kentish men in the aforementioned tent from where he watched his first action at this ground since the late 1990s.

Having admitted that he once sub-edited on the News of the World, as a freelance casual of course, Engel ordered up a pint of the aptly-named Red Top for his first and only pint of a frustrating afternoon. Wisely, he had already deemed another local brew, Dartford Wobbler with an ABV of 4.3%, a tad too powerful for a mid-afternoon thirst-quencher.

Yet in the time it took Engel to sup his pint Hampshire were already three down with their top-order struggling to lay bat on ball after Kent had won the toss and inserted them. The wily new-ball pairing of Mark Davies and Charlie Shreck nipped it around at will and caused headaches aplenty during the 63 minutes of play that were possible before the rain arrived again.

Kent's one-time opening bat Michael Carberry followed one from Shreck to edge low to the wicketkeeper Geraint Jones, then, 10 runs on, Bilal Shafayat pushed outside the line of a Mark Davies off-cutter to go leg-before for nine. The visiting captain, Jimmy Adams, followed in near identical fashion with eight against his name when he too played down the wrong line to be lbw to Davies.

The clouds, the drizzle and the covers returned soon after and the faithful trooped home hoping for better weather on the morrow. At least they had not suffered like the crowd for the three-day clash here between Kent and Sussex in 1908, when the game was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Kent City Council Bans Medical Marijuana Collective Gardens; As Promised, Steve Sarich and Cannabis Action Coalition File Lawsuit - Seattle Weekly (blog)

As predicted by Sensible Washington, the Kent City Council voted last night to ban medical marijuana collective gardens within the city by a vote of 4-3. The now-passed ordinance declares that medical marijuana collective gardens "are not appropriate for any zoning designation within the city."

Kent's ordinance points out that marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substance Act, noting that any collective gardens the city allowed would be in violation of federal law. The Kent Reporter reports that two such gardens currently operate in Kent, and lawyers for each plan to file a lawsuit against the city in an attempt to stay open.

"There are certain things we want in the City of Kent and other things we don't," said Kent City Council member Billy Boyce, chair of the Public Safety committee, prior to last night's vote. Boyce, who voted in favor of the ban along with council members Dana Ralph, Les Thomas and Deborah Ranniger, told Seattle Weekly earlier this week that after an extended period of time spent learning about current state and federal marijuana laws, and extensive time spent discussing the situation with members of the Kent City Council, he decided to support the ban.

The vote to prohibit medical marijuana collective gardens in Kent came despite a large showing of medical marijuana supporters that arrived at Kent City Hall in a last-ditch effort to persuade the council against taking the action. It didn't work. Organized in part by Sensible Washington, an active pro-pot group that has taken strong issue with Kent's collective garden banning ordinance, the sizable outpouring of medical marijuana supporters were left disappointed but not without a plan of recourse, according to Anthony Martinelli, a Sensible Washington steering committee member and its communications co-director.

"The four who voted in favor of the ban have shown themselves to be another group of out-of-touch, power hungry politicians," says Martinelli. "This is not an issue that we will forget, and we believe strongly that going forward organized action must be taken to remove elected officials who stand against the will of their constituents."

As has been previously reported on Daily Weekly, Sensible Washington is also leading an effort this election season to pass a city-level initiative making marijuana crimes Kent's lowest law-enforcement priority, and also prohibit the city from cooperating with federal law enforcement in these matters.

Martinelli points out that Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke, who he describes as a strong supporter of the ban, is up for reelection this year. Martinelli says Sensible Washington "would strongly back any opposition [to Cooke] who would respect state law and their constituents."

I've reached out to Cooke for comment. When she responds I will update this post accordingly.

"The actions taken by the majority of this council shows a severe lack of compassion, a blatant disregard for the will of their constituents, and a lack of understanding of how to improve the safety of their community," says Martinelli. "The black market is cheering the passage of this ban."

Steve Sarich of the recently-launched Cannabis Action Coalition was in Kent last night to personally serve the Kent City Council with papers suing the city after it voted to ban collective gardens - an action he adamantly says violates existing state medical marijuana laws. The Cannabis Action Coalition lawsuit seeks to overturn the ban.

Sarich says the Cannabis Action Coalition was created to aggressively defend patients' right to medical marijuana, and plans to play offense instead of defense when it comes to protecting those rights - as demonstrated by last night's action in Kent. He says future targets of Cannabis Action Coalition legal action may include Pasco and Clark County.

"They whine that the state law is muddy and unclear," says Sarich of cities like Kent that have enacted moratoriums or passed similar ordinances. "The law is pretty clear, and is crystal clear when it comes to collective gardens. ... I challenge you to find anything in the state law that gives cities the right to regulate collective gardens [as Kent now has]."

"All we're doing is enforcing state law."

As far as the lawsuit filed yesterday against the City of Kent goes, Sarich says "the next move is up to them." If the council reverses its ban on medical marijuana collective gardens he'll be happy to drop the lawsuit. If not, Sarich is eager to head to court.

"If they really want to go to court, we're ready," says Sarich. "The only thing these people are going to listen to is money going out of their bank account."
