5.0 out of 5 stars Android Tablet., July 25, 2010

Product works fine, tho touchscreen and keyboard is a little tricky to use; much easier if you use some sort of a stylus, (even a pencil eraser will work). It has many applications and wireless seems to work fine. Battery life is a bit low, but considering it has a backlit touch screen and wireless; that's understandable.

A good buy for the money, a poor mans IPad, if you are willing to deal with it's little quirks.

The touch screen works better with a stylus. The battery life is pretty bad. Great device for the money even with those issues. Worse case you spent $100 on a android ebook reader because that aspect of the device works flawlessly. I use it for wifi brewing as well which works great overall I do not regret getting this and will probably by one for my wife.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Really Worth the $$$, August 22, 2010

OK, so we all have tablet fever these days, but for some reason or another we just can't bring ourselves to fork out $[...] for the iPad. The iPad is really too big and heavy to be a tablet I think I would find convenient so I broke down and bought this thing. I read some reviews and realized the first thing that needed to be done was to install the current firmware update on it. Once that was installed most of the Chinese is gone from the screen and it becomes fairly user friendly. Unfortunately after playing with it a few days I've come to realize it really isn't worth the $$. I wasn't able to get it to play video files. I have excellent Wireless in my home, we've never had problems connecting with 10 or so different devices we've had around the house. But no matter how close you get to the router, the device will not hold a connection with the internet. So I thought no biggie, I'll use it as an eReader... that's fine as long as you are content reading books that have no DRM on them, which most any book you buy online does!
It does have a free basic version of Farmville on it that my 6 year old had fun playing with! It's really not a bad little unit, I'm just not sure WHAT for?!
