4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than you might expect,
This review is from: NATPC M009S 7 inch 2GB Google Android Tablet PC - Cheapest 2.2 Android Tablet works with Flash 10.1 - WiFi , Touchscreen, Epad, Apad, Android Market, Youtube, Kindle and Facebook App
When I first started to play with this I was going to rush off and give it 5 stars. After now having played with it for a week I can't quite give it 5 but it is still much better than you might expect.I've played with the iPad and the Galaxy and the Xoom, and I have an Android smartphone (HTC). I wasn't expecting the same performance and you don't get it but it's not bad at all. The tablet runs a version of the Eken software modified by a guy on the Slatedroid site. This android build is Vestinious 1.3 Out of the box you have book reader (kindle), web, email and games. Angry Birds runs better on this than on my smartphone! If you want a tablet to basically surf the web, read a book, send the odd message and play the odd game then it does the job. It is good value. If you can't see various APPS in the marketplace make sure you clear the markey cache. The android forums are useful for this. The only thing I couldn't get to work was iplayer which says the tablet is not compatible. If I was being critical then there are a handful of things - the screen is not very sharp, probably due to the resistive overlay. The resistive touch screen is OK and scrolls nicely etc although does sometimes misinterpret what you want to do. The screen feels vague and plasticky, almost soft under touch. The worst thing is probably battery life. Less than 2hours of use (web/games etc) will flatten the battery. New software builds will help and there are APPS to turn off WiFi when not in use.

Having owned Android phones since they first came out in the UK, I've always been a big fan of Android and it's approach to open source software development.I'd never really been too fussed about buying a tablet - already owning a smart phone, laptop and desktop computer, I never really felt I'd need one. I've been using iPads at work for a while and a high end Android table - the Asus Eee Pad - they're great fun and work beautifully but are still not something I feel I need. Despite this I stumbled across this tablet on Amazon - the reviews were generally so good and the price so low that I thought I'd go for it and get one, even just to see how it compares to its expensive rivals and to generally have a play around with it, installing different firmwares. I must say I'm really pleased with it, despite the obvious flaws: Bad points (let's get these out of the way): - screen not amazingly responsive - to initially connect to wifi I have to be quite close to my router (BT Home Hub 2) - as a result of the screen using the onscreen keyboard is a little long winded - some apps / games will be too much for the processor to cope with - battery life not amazing - I'd only recommend children that are able to play with things carefully are allowed to use it! Good points - massive range of apps and games - expandable storage - compatible with the Amazon Kindle app (why buy a Kindle when this does the same pretty damn well for less money, AND you can do other stuff with it besides using it as a Kindle) - whilst not available on the Android Market, Spotify Premium works beautifully on this device - I had to extract the Spotify installer (apk) from my phone and transfer it to the Tabtech - it works brilliantly, sound quality is superb - good sound quality when plugged into speakers / hifi system - perfect as a portable video player (runs AVI files with no problem) - great for taking on on holiday etc - when used in conjunction with the keyboard case (available on Amazon) and a mouse, it's practically a netbook and far far cheaper I have to say if you are considering one, you really should buy one of the keyboard cases - I wouldn't use mine without it. Mine is now permanently set up with the keyboard case, plugged into the mains with an audio jack going to my AV receiver - I basically use this as my Spotify player for which it shines. It's about 5 metres away from my router now and is permanently connected, syncing my emails in the background. Finally I'll say, don't expect an iPad, don't expect a fully fledged web experience and don't expect it to replace your home computer. At less than a fifth of the price of an iPad this thing punches well above its weight - just be patient as for that price it's not going to do EVERYTHING perfectly, but what it does do it does with ease. ENJOY! (By the way, I'm running the Singularity ROM V4 which works perfectly)

We bought this unit so we could access the internet when abroad without having to take a laptop. This unit is great value for what it costs.WiFi access is fast and reliable and the browser is great. The on screen keyboard, which appears when you highlight a text box is easy to use. Have tried the video and music player and the picture quality is good, sound is fine through earphones. UTube works fine and having flash player is a bonus. All in all a very good tablet at this price. Have just spent five weeks abroad and found the tablet very useful. Able to access internet and e-mail with wi fi connection. Did start to find some issues : 1. Screen was oversensitive at times and led to wrong selection from screen. 2. Had problems with both My Music and My Video in that SD card was not read correctly and got message SD is updating. 3. Unable to access Google Appmarket. Another reviewer mentioned Slatedroid and an update called Singularity. I contacted Wendy and she Okayed this update. Details below. Carried out this update today and all problems above resolved. http://173.255.228.138/~rogercalver/ - if you get a problem with a certain version, just download another and try that. (Beta V2 is the best at the moment) Unzip it to a computer and then transfer the "FirmwareInstall" folder and the "wmt_scriptcmd" file (and these two ONLY) on to a blank, formatted (FAT32) memory card. Insert the card and turn the tablet on - it should automatically update and you will be asked to remove the card when it is finished. Once that is completed, you may need to follow these instructions also - http://www.asianfonesforum.com/showthread.php?t=2228 So now really pleased with the tablet and think it is great value
