slow, very poor quality. The SD card will not work unless you hold it in. I have two of these tablets. I bought one for each of my sons. They both behave the same way, so I know it is not broken. There is simply no mechanism to hold the card in. Poor design.

This tablet does everything I expected it to do for the price. The HD video is amazing for watching movies. The touch screen workes extremely well and is great for playing games. I like the dedicated buttons which make it easy to navigate through screens. I do wish the tablet was a little thinner but other than that this is a deal.

I got this as a gift from a friend, as I was looking for something that wasn't super spiffy but decent enough to suit my needs of watching movies and reading ebooks (on a screen much bigger than my phone). I wanted something affordable but still able to do what most of the big boys can do. I've played with a few name brand tablets but I didn't want to drop $500+ for one (if I wanted an iPad, I'd buy one). So for a sub $200 Android tablet, this thing is a good solution.PROS:- Very nice touch screen- HDMI Out- 8GB storage- Decent battery lifeCONS:- Not the prettiest looking thing- Fingerprints get all over :(- Speaker in the backOne of the few things I don't like about this tablet is the housing. It's not the prettiest looking device there is, but at least it feels sturdy and doesn't feel like it'll shatter if I accidentally drop it. The buttons are kinda awkward looking but useful for those apps that hide the status bar. And I like that it has physical volume buttons, especially since I use it to watch movies a lot. Another thing that I don't care for is the slick finish which ends up leaving fingerprints all over. I'd rather have something that looks rough but you don't have to clean every time you pick it up.There's no Bluetooth but there is an HDMI out port. And IMO, that's preferred. The USB port works for connecting to the computer, plugging in a flash drive or connecting a mouse or keyboard which is convenient. It's nice they included the adapter as well, as some companies will make you buy that seperately. So put together, I hooked up a wireless mouse/keyboard set and plugged the HDMI cable to my TV and bam...it works just like a desktop PC.There's a front facing camera which is actually pretty decent for video calls on Skype. Unfortunately the speaker is on the back of the tablet, but it's a minor issue (well kinda an annoyance when watching movies, especially if I have the tablet laying down). And the mic is pretty clear and picks up sound well.This thing also has a MicroSD card slot which I popped in a 32GB card loaded up with some movies. The battery lasted through just under 2 1/2 hours of video (but that was with the brightness at its highest and volume almost at max). I haven't really measured the battery for other uses, but the other day I was on and off surfing the internet for close to 5 hours and there was still about 25% left on the indicator (not sure how charged it was when I started). So not bad at all.This tablet has Android 2.3 on it and these guys at least put some effort into customizing it with their own startup screen and launcher. Most of the time, lesser known companies just go with the stock set up, so it was refreshing to see something a little different. Again, it's no Motorola or HTC, but the idea of the different categories for each screen was a nice touch.They have the GetJar market installed which personally I don't care for but as I'm familiar enough with Android, I just installed [@]appstore as well as 1Mobile's. They also set the page for installing [@]appstore as the default browser homepage, which is convenient.Games run great on this, even the more graphicly intensive ones. And they look great too. Some of the racing games as well actually work better than on my phone...of course it helps that the "steering wheel" is bigger. And the great thing about this tablet too is the 8GB of internal memory. I've heard my friends complain about having to always delete apps or things to free up some space, as typically most tablets have only 2 or 4GB...so it's nice to have a lot of storage to play with. The touch screen is great too. Responds very well to a light tough without being to sensitive. Actually the physical buttons on the side need more babying than the touch screen. Which is why I'm glad they put those functions in the status bar as well.I've been told this unit can be upgraded to ICS soon, so that'll be cool. Overall it's a nice little gadget that does what it's meant for...keeping me entertained when I'm out and about or too lazy to sit at my desk with a real computer.
