This review is from: 7″ Touch Tablet PC MID Internet Media MP3/MP4 Player 2GB Google Android OS (Personal Computers)
This is a very crude device that will provide you with more frustation than service. For one thing, the touch screen does not work with your fingers (it is supposed to work, but it practically does not) You have to use a stylus or some other sharp thing and use it to drag the screen up and down. Second, the speakers give out almost no sound. You have to use earphones or you don’t hear a thing. Third, practically no apps to download. It does not have a flash player so you cannot stream in audio or video from a web site. Fourth, the minuscule instruction manual is worthless, plus it is written in such broken English that you don’t know what they are talking about. I will be throwing this piece of chinese junk away shortly.

This review is from: 7″ Touch Tablet PC MID Internet Media MP3/MP4 Player 2GB Google Android OS (Personal Computers)
Yes, I also got my share of SOME (not complete) disappointment with 7″ Android Tablet PC. I bought two of them: for myself and for my wife to put under the Christmas tree as small holiday gifts. They arrived much faster than I was expecting and, of course, I could not wait and opened mine to check it out. I may be in a better mood than most of you, guys and girls, because I bought my Androids via web from Chinese manufacturer “Ethernal” directly and paid only $85/each including delivery from Donguang to my doorsteps in New Jersey. They have Android 2.2 system inside, cameras (quite bad ones) apps for reading eBooks, watching videos, Skype, Wi-Fi, 3G, photos, games and many other. I mostly bought them for books and videos. At first I was quite disappointed with their performance: touchscreen is nearly not as responsive as iPOD or iPAD or iPHONE… Yet, after a while I got used to it. I immediately downloaded eReader just to discover that on Android it does not “understand” Russian language (half of my reading material is in Russian). To my surprise, originally installed iReader handled any language encoding quite easily. I use Calibre software on my laptop to convert my books to TXT format and them just send them to the Android and – VOILA!- I can read anything I want. To my surprise, even though many other functions seem to be slow and somewhat half-frozen, Androids native iReader and video player work quite well. Also, it has YOUTUBE pre-installed and while Google and other web sites load slowly via Wi-Fi, YouTUBE’s videos play surprisingly fast and smooth. So, basically, what I wanted from it so far works OK. Still, this device in general is a “half-baked cookie”, so I give it maximum 3 stars. I thought that I may stop using my iPOD Touch after Android comes… No, not a chance.
