Hi Guys I have a Binatone Homesurf 7 which is based on the Samsung S3C6410 chip.
Have a look at this thread which covers various Chinese built tablets that have this chip and a similar looking pcb inside to the Homesurf. The great thing about these tablets is that they have an internal micro SD card that can be removed and reprogrammed. Using a program called 'All Image', I have backed up the Homesurf Android 1.6 sd card image and installed the 'Dasemesti' Android 2.1 image. Having overcome the screen calibration issue by copying across the screen calibration file, the Android 2.1 image works with a few issues that still need to be resolved.
If you or anyone else is interested in upgrading the Homesurf then let me know and I will provide some further details.

Hi Joe, I'm pretty new to Android and am looking to try and upgrade my homesurf 7 to 2.1. Are you able to provide any further information on how to go about it?
Cheers, Colin. Hi Col D Firstly have a read of this thread which gives a lot more information provided by the community:- The Homesurf 7 is loosely based on the Real6410 Development Board – details can be found at:- Fortunately, there has been some interest in upgrading other Chinese Tablets also based upon the Real6410. See the above thread for discussions about upgrading these Tablets. The key feature about the Real6410 based Tablets is that the Android OS is blown onto a removable 2GB Micro SD Card. For those willing to disassemble their Homesurf 7 Tablet, this provides an opportunity for upgrading the OS by re-blowing the micro SD Card with a newer version of Android. Preliminaries Firstly, it is necessary to buy one or two 2GB Micro SD Cards onto which the Android OS can be blown.
Purchase of Samsung Brand 2GB Micro SD Cards (eg from Amazon) is strongly recommended as they provide a greater capacity than generic 2GB SD cards. A micro SD to SD Card Adaptor will also be required if not provided with the purchased micro SD cards.
Secondly, a disk imaging software utility is needed to blow the new OS image onto the SD Card. The one that works best is “All Image” by Towodo Software - - a free 14day Licence version is available for download. Alternatively, try WinImage v8.5 see Thirdly, a suitable OS ROM image will be required.

Place the Tablet screen face down and carefully remove all six rubber plugs covering the screws around the rear edge.

The lithium battery, Speaker and Wifi module are attached to the rear half of the Tablet and there are a number of short wires going between the two halves.
