Customer Reviews
Ok, I was really excited to receive this item. I have to say the shipping speed was SUPER!So that was a plus. I am going to keep this as simple as possible and list the pro's and con's of this as I have found them after using this for a week. Also, keep in mind that I purchased this to be used mainly as an E-Reader with the benefits of the tablet for when I was looking for something to do besides read.
Pro's:
1.Fast Shipping-arrived in 3 days with me paying $3.99 extra for expedited shipping because I have a prime account, considering this came from Singapore that was a feat.(although the seller is listed as USA seller, this did surprise me)
2.Excellent Screen Clarity- played my Transformer's 1 and 2 I transferred in HD from my HTC HD2 and had almost HD quality.
3.Fast Browser-internet speed is faster than my Windows based HTC so no complaint's there. It is not a lap top so don't expect instant page loads but works well enough to stream NCIS from CBS using the TV.COM app from Amazon market without issues and rebuffering constantly.
4.Feels good in hand, feels sturdy and not cheaply made. The weight feels about like a real book when used with the leather cover with on board qwerty keyboard I purchased separately.(that works great as well for anyone interested)
5.Lot's of App's available from Amazon that work well with this tablet.
Con's:
1.NOT Google Android Market, the OS is Android but they do not have license for the Android Market which is a separate entity. Uses Wonder Market even though it is cleverly disguised to resemble the android market but you'll find most the apps are in Chinese and unless you speak or read that language not much good for you. After phoning Android Tech support I was informed that this device is INCOMPATIBLE with the Android market.(go to Amazon and download there Market app and there are a lot of same apps as Android market there to overcome this shortcoming. I only figured this out about day 5)I did find a place to download the Android Market but after installation it crashed every time I tried to open it. So I wouldn't waste time there.
2.Touch screen is sluggish and slow to respond-not the greatest touch screen, really glad I have the hardware keyboard and don't have to rely on the virtual keyboard. Pretty much stylus dependent for smooth clicking, scrolling, etc.
3.Half of the built in Apps are in Chinese so they have to be deleted or they just take up space.
4.NO e-reader app pre-installed and took a while to find one to install; until I figured out Amazon Market would work and then I was able to install the Kindle app and also found Overdrive Media that let's you download ebooks and audiobooks from your library.
5.Battery Life-not great battery life and slow to charge. So considering my main reason for purchasing was as an ereader this part was the worst for me, after figuring out the app market issue. I can only read for a couple of hours at a time with it before it has to be charged. This is even with me putting it in Airplane mode to conserve as much power as possible.
This device has some issues but for the price, I feel that the trade off is worth it. An Ipad it is not, but then again your not paying a minimum $500 price tag either. I have several fun apps, (angry birds, paper toss, farkle, etc.) That allow plenty of playtime and decent web browsing. Considering I can't even buy a decent E-Ink reader for under $100 bucks, the $95 price tag this came with is well worth the money I feel.
UPDATE: I wanted to point out for anyone expecting any usefulness out of the 3.0 MP Camera that is listed with this device, DON'T! The camera will only take SCREEN SHOTS and has no other camera functions that I have found thus far. If anyone knows any different please shoot me a message and help a girl out!
UPDATE Jan 4th, 2012-OK, so I originally bought this for myself and didn't have any issues that couldn't be overcome with a little internet searching. However, my mother-in-law bought this same MID for my husband for Christmas and it is in the process of being returned as I write this. After looking over some other reviews I have seen the same issue happening more and more often. Upon booting the system it would freeze up after only a minute or two of use and we had no way to reset the thing so we had to wait for the battery to die, which with this model the short battery life turned into a blessing in this instance. Once the battery died we would then be able to restart and again get up to five minutes of use before it froze again. In those five minutes between freezes we were having all kinds of issues with downloading any apps including the amazon app market. So after the experience with the MID my husband received I would like to amend my previous review to say that I would NOT recommend this MID. In the last 6 months since I bought my original one there have been multiple Tablets released to the market that are comparable in price to this one and have much stabler versions of the Android operating system. Even the kindle fire is under 200 now. But even for the same $100 price tag there are several options out there that are being sold by American sellers and operating in English at least. We haven't heard about the return for my husbands MID yet, I am hoping it doesn't turn into a nightmare for my mother-in-law. I will keep you posted. I will however point out that my original purchase of this is still working fine. I don't know if they changed something in the OP or what that made it unstable or if it was a fluke but I still think that there are now better choices on the market within the same price range. Hope I have been helpful with keeping you informed on this item.
When I first opened the box I thought it may not even turn on just because it looks not so great when it's turned off. But I was very pleased with the vibrancy and clarity of the screen. The App Market is for USA and other countries as well. I right away downloaded Netflix, Crackle and e-books. The picture is good (better than watching it on my iphone) at least the size is bigger. I had to turn down the brightness because I have sensitive vision, so no worries about crisp clear video or reading. Over all this is a pretty good product and I would recommend it to my friends and first time users for tablets. I wanted to see if this is something I would use a lot and so far, it has turned out the be just what I expected. This is definitely a beginners tablet or for lite users that want to learn their way around using apps and tablets. I would also recommend you get a stylus because the touch response is somewhat lacking. That is the only problem I see. And of course get a screen protector as well, that is just common sense.
