There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I must say the delivery was fantastic as it was indicated that the device would not be delivered before xmas and it arrived today.
The screen is good especially for the price of the device, may be not up there with the big guns but just as good as my htc hero. I played some of the demo videos which looked good but that would be expected for demo videos but have yet to try it with my own.
The touch screen is responsive and I think very good for the price; as good as if not better response than my oldish HTC phone. Scrolling is responsive up, down, left and right.
The camera appears good enough for what it is, I cant understand why people complain about lower mega pixel cameras on tablets they will never be used like a normal digicam and will never match DSLRs anyway. So I think it is more than good enough not great in low light but neither is my webcam on my PC, so no complaints from me.
It comes with US Android market as its in dollars. (If there is a way to change it to UK please post on here).
Connection to my wireless router was flawless and works through out my house. Found more wireless networks than my PC does.
Apps it comes with
Adobe reader
Aldiko
Angry birds works great
Documents to go
Gmail
Fruit ninja
Game centre
Super-HD player
SWF player
Youtube
Talk a google application
Trial X
A couple of chinese apps
Latitude
Places
Clock Browser
Calculator
Calendar
file manager
music
Voice search
and a few widgets which are accessed by touching and holding you finger on a blank part of the screen which opens a menu to add shortcuts, widgets, apps etc.
Sound is actually quite good and loud which surprised me.
All the apps were easy to set up for email, skype and network.
The manual is in chinese there is no english manual in the box I have.
Over all I think its a great machine. Ill post more as I get more use to it. Its a present for an 80 something so Ill need to show them how everything works.
Google maps works on this device as does navigation
Ive put on
Fring
3 mp3 player
skype voice calls work still trying to get video to work as its a gift and that was one of the reasons I wanted a tablet
if anyone knows how to get it working post it here again. Selecting the video option in the skype settings just gives black screens where the video should be.
Access to the internet is pretty good i.e. speed.
I only received this today and it looks like you way more than 2 hours of use even with the wifi switched on. When I know about that Ill amend this. Looks like it will be about 3-4 hours. Its now been running for 2.hours 45 minutes and the battery indicator is indicating Ive still have the charge left. I think thats pretty good.
I really got this for video skype so if anybody knows how to get it working please that information.
Even if video doesnt work I would still give 5 stars as it was not quoted as working in the description and we will still be keeping the device with or with out video calling.
I give this the thumbs up, if your new to tablets and video calling isnt a must have. I dont think that you can do better than this especially for use around the home especially if your on a budget.
This all sounds very positive I know the only downside at the minute is video calling on skype but thats not enough to knock a star off as no claim was made about that by the seller.
If I come across any issues Ill post them here. Im going to try BBC iplayer to see how that works.

Secondly, although still not mega fast, and i still get the 'launcher / app isnt responding, wait / exit' annoyance, its not quite as bad as when i had ADW launcher installed. naughty ADW launcher! Stick with stock, and you should get a far less annoying experience.
I should have known its trial and error with android, but after a week of error, i had given up. Give Wendy a shout if you're having problems, think she must have waved a magic wand at me or something like that.
So i've upped it to a four star, its stil not a five star and no amount of magic wand waving will convince me otherwise :)
*Edit 2
Ok, so i've had the tablet three weeks now. And i finally figured the real reason why it was turning into a rather slow brick on a regular basis. It really doesnt like to use the sync function. turned this off and its suddenly turned into a wizzy machine. So if you can live without your emails being pushed through, then its all good. I can, doesnt bother me in the slightest because i have my phone for this. p.s, if you're going to use a launcher, use Go launcher, its brilliant. I love ADW launcher on my samsung galaxy, but Go is much better for this tablet. Right, thats my last update, after lots of tinkering, it finally works they way i had envisioned it to. 4/5, superb value for the money just be prepared for trial and error.
*original review
There's so many 5 star reviews on here that just arent justified. Ok, its cheap, but i still expect not to want to chuck the thing through a window every five minutes. I've constantly sat there waiting for the device to catch up with what im doing "blah blah is not working, would you like to close the programme?" Grr.
Not to mention the Google Play store, where loads of apps are missing because 'your device is not compatible'. I couldnt get the Facebook app, even Angry Birds wasnt compatible for crying out loud! Ive tried every fix under the sun in the last week, none of them worked. So ive ended up having to use the Bazaar market, just to get apps that i've previously bought and downloaded for my Samsung Galaxy S2. I get the feelings its actually because the device comes pre rooted, and juding by the Google Movies app which wont let me rent movies because the device is rooted, Google dont like one bit.
On the upside, the tablet does look nice, is relatively light and works without stalling most of the time. Delivery time was exceptional, ordered it last Friday afternoon and it came the next day.
I will use the tablet, i will enjoy using it for reading books and watching tv shows, but i cant help feeling slightly disapoined. just be warned its not as amazing as all the five star reviewers would have you beleive.
