bought as a gift for xmas for my wife it arrived quickly and was very nicely presented in a stylish box .
upon opening was very pleased at how well packaged and protected this was.
as this was a gift for a wife for xmas i wanted to make sure it worked ok pressed power on and was pleasently surprised that it had a full battery
quick start up very easy to set up the wi-fi and gmail to be able to access android market and was quick to download all three of the angry birds games
screen felt nice and responsive and menu was very easy to navigate
(i use android on my smartphone so i felt at home with it straight away if your and Iphone user it may take a little getting used to)
used the camera to take a couple of pics just pointed and clicked they gave a nice result
then used the video to record a happy xmas message again pic was very nice quality,
the sound through the internal speakers for the video recording was not that loud even with the volume up full but was clear enough (the sound level was much higher on angry birds )
so prob not the best mic in the world but then yoiur not paying ipad prices are you ;)

in summary :-
for those wanting a cheap IPAD this is not for you save up and buy an ipad BUT for those who want a GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY tablet that wont break the bank and does exactly what it is supposed to and appears to do it very well you could do a lot worse than this

I WOULD HAPPILY BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FOR MYSELF (if i can convince the wife i need one that is lol)

01/01/2012 UPDATE

i had to contact the sellar on boxing day after a fault with the mains charger (remember this was xmas gift so rather an important contact) WOW received a replacement mains charger no quibbles on the friday i cannot recommend this product OR seller Highly enough I WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING FROM ANYONE ELSE THE SERVICE IS 1ST CLASS AND THE PRODUCT IS AMAZING ...WELL DONE QUALITY STORES YOU KNOW WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT ! :)

I spent weeks looking for an android tablet,reading reviews,comparing prices,specs and so on.This is a christmas present for my wife so i've only had it switched on for about 30 mins to make sure it works.I've got to say i was a bit hesitant since there was a few reviews which said it wasn't android 3 and that the screen didn't work very well when on charge.But in the 30 mins i had it on i checked the version,plugged in the charger and all seems fine.connected to my homehub 3 easily and looked at a few apps,this thing is fast,well built and worth the money.Like i said i've only had it on for 30mins so cant comment on long term,but if it does end up being reliable i will definitley be asking for one on my birthday.Dont think you can go wrong with this AAAAA+++++++++

I bought this as a Christmas present for my son and full marks to Quality Stores for getting it shipped when they said they would after I enquired about it.

I've never used an Android device before so it took me a little while to get to grips with the interface, and I had to find out for myself that the rocker buttons on the top gave you a few more menu options than is mentioned in the little manual which came with it, such as in the email application when I was struggling to figure out how to compose a new email.

Setting it up to check an external email account was pretty easy and worked first time, but I'm not overly impressed with the WiFi performance as some other reviews. I also own an Archos 605 and I'd put it on a par with that. We have a few thick walls between our "computing area" and the WiFi box and although we can pick up a decent signal on two laptops there, sadly this device can't so I'm having to rig some way around that problem. It is a blind spot, but it shows that the tablet isn't as good as a laptop at picking up a signal.

The other problem I've experienced is in trying to download ANYTHING from the Android market. It simply says that the device isn't recognised all the time, so I can't download any games or anything for it from there.

** UPDATE ** - As I'm outside the UK the regional setting I had on the tablet determined which Android market it tries to connect to, and in this case it was trying to connect to the US market. Changing the regional setting on the tablet corrected this problem and I can now download any apps I need from the UK market.

I'm not overly impressed with the the way (and this is a dig at the inwardly-mobile Android community and not the device), when you try to find alternative places to download stuff, many mobile-phone-buff bloggers only provide you with one of those funny images to scan, to take you to the download link - ignorant of the needs of people who are new to the game and who use Android on a device which appears to have no such facility. I tried taking a photograph of one, but apparently that doesn't work. I'm sure there's an app out there to scan these things instead, but how to find a HYPERLINK to one which RECOGNISES this device as being capable of running it is beyond me. A complete chicken and egg situation if you ask me :(

I did manage to download and install Opera mobile on it, so all is not lost.

Because of the WiFi problem I haven't really tried much browsing with it, and I don't read books so the Kindle thing is something I haven't touched.

We did try Skype which worked at first but when we tried to enable the Video calling feature Skype crashed, so we haven't been able to use that. I tried to see if I could upgrade Skype but I hit the same problem with the device not getting recognised.

Other than that it seems to work fine - nice picture and the touch screen is very good. Once you get used to how the interface works it's not so bad as I first thought. I would've expected this thing to boot up a lot quicker than it does though - it takes a good 45 seconds to do that.

Connecting it to a computer was fairly problem free, but you need to read the manual. (TIP: when you've connected the USB cable drag the slider up from the black bar at the bottom with your finger, then turn the USB connection on in the little menu you see there)

Bluetooth would've been a plus, but this device doesn't have that.

**UPDATE** - I installed a Bluetooth File Manager application and managed to get a Bluetooth USB stick to work with it, so... great!

Battery performance wasn't fantastic, but charging it up again was really quick. (TIP: turn the display off with a single tap on the power button on the top to save power if you don't like waiting so long for the thing to boot up from a cold start)

I'd like to know if anyone sells a generic stand for these things as my son is disabled and can only use one hand so he currently hunches over it on his table, which isn't good for him.

To sum up it's a decent tablet - looks well built and no problems (so far) with the power lead which some other reviewers have mentioned. If you're a complete Android novice then I'd suggest sticking with what you know - if Archos could get their build quality and after-sales service in order then I'd have happily stuck with them, but I'm reasonably happy with the machine and I know it's only a matter of time before I figure out a way round the teething troubles I've got with it - and bear in mind that these are mainly due to external factors and not the machine itself.

Can't really grumble about the price.
