The ironic thing like all Chinese technology is that this A330 is not made by Dingoo but is a rip off clone with all the logos etc all over it. Dingoo are going after them legally to stop this product.
Dingoo only makes the A320. So be warned!
i would appreciate it if you did not state things you simply read on another forum, things which are not factual and have been put in the “rumor” category of other sites.
dingoo digital was the 1st company. a few people had a falling out over internal issues, from what i understand. dingoo technologies is the team that wanted to keep building the product. they moved off and started to make the dingooa 320 "HK" build. they changed a few things on the hardware level to make it a "new" revision, dropped the old logo, old software, etc. they did that because the guy who stayed back at dingoo digital owns the rights to those things. since they split that guy has done nothing but post lies all over the net saying dingoo technologies is selling clones. he says that the a320 "HK" will blow up if you charge it. he said the a320 "HK" had so many issues because it was a clone, when actually its a hardware revision to the cpu and memory address which were not addressed by updated versions of the software.
i am in contact with many resellers who buy directly from dingoo technologies. i know for a fact what happened and that the dingoo a320 currently produced version by dingoo technologies is not a fake or a clone, it is just a small hardware revision to help avoid the copyright of the original design. the a330 came after the dingoo digital team challenged them to produce their own hardware design. as we can all see their first attempt pretty much failed, they only added a few extras and those two things are not worth the extra $30. they have registered the names for other systems, hopefully their next system will be properly researched and constructed to perform as expected.

Another World, your reviews are the best. Very well written, well researched, you put the other folks to shame.
Re. the wireless controller, what exactly does this '6 axis' stuff mean? I've read that mentioned a few places, and of course it's part of Dingoo Tech's ad copy, but what is it supposed to do?
Atashi, my first experience with 6-axis was with the sony ps3. 6-axis is the ability to move the controller up, down, left, right, forward, and backwards (6 movement points). so the controller becomes a motion controller. in some games you physically move the controller "up" to jump, and in other games left-right are used for balance, etc. the dingoo controller box says it has this ability, but i haven't seen anything about software. maybe you can tell me more the next time you trace down some hardware controller chips =).

Just out of curiosity... with so many cons, why did it get the 'Bronze GBAtemp Award'? If it's essentially the same thing as the A320 with worse buttons and shell, why give it any award at all? Essentially based on the review, people should just avoid this product.
