Ultima 9.7" Android Tablet

Would you believe it. Ultima 9.7" Android 4.0 tablet for $80 shipped. Well, they're not fooling anyone. It's basically a refurbished Bauhn AMID-971R. Technical specs below:

• 9.7in IPS display (1024 x 768 resolution)
• 16GB of internal memory
• 2-megapixel rear-facing camera
• 1GHz single-core Amlogic Cortex A9 8726M3 processor
• 1GB of DDR3 RAM
• MicroSD card slot
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
• VGA front-facing camera for video calls
• A mini-USB, mini-HDMI, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack

Came with Android 4.0.3 with build 20120829. Did a quick search and apparently there's a newer build dated 20120907. Followed the upgrade instructions from Tempo Australia, but IP address of the server hosting the firmware not accessible anymore. Another round of searching gave me a working server address (http://public.tempoaustralia.com/fw/). Firmware location present, but folder is empty. The newer dual-core 1.2GHz version (AMID-xxx) is still being updated though.

Came with apps like Twitter and Facebook which I don't need. YouTube is there, but no upgradable. Next thing to do is to root it, so I can remove these stock apps.
