    We got my son one of those for christmas, very good for the money, obviously the screen not as responsive as an ipad / xoom etc but was perfect for him (asperger's and a bit heavy handed ;) )
  • For a tablet 'made especially for internet browsing', it's rather disappointing that there is only one way to access the internet (unlike most Android phones). Even more disappointing is the fact that the said wi-fi is not the fastest n standard.

    Why do people keep posting the same crappy (china knockoff) ipad clone tablets? Everytime they get posted they are for the same price and everytime get bad responses/negative comments.

    The screens are very resistive and being a touchscreen tablet this renders the unit near to useless. Do not waste your month on this junk, spend a little bit more for a decent tablet that actually does the job it was made for.

    The one person on this thread who actually has one gave it a very good review. It maybe a niche product, but that doesn't mean the OP shouldn't have told us about it.
