Customer Reviews
I bought this in February 2011 but wasn't terribly impressed. I was unsure if the touchpad wasn't very sensitive or if the OS was part of the problem. It often required 2 or more taps to activate a button/selection and browsing the web was klunky and slow. I installed Amazon Kindle and it worked well enough but often crashed and on restart returned to the starting location from before the crash, often making reading irksome. The 7 inch screen is large enough to be useful in most situations and makes the unit very portable. The graphics display is quite nice in most applications (Kindle books look great) although the Solitaire game that comes with the tablet/O.S. looks like something on my old Motorola Razr and a Mah Jongg game I downloaded looks downright crappy. Since games aren't important these shortcomings aren't important to me.
Yesterday I came across information about upgrading from Android 2.0 to 2.2 and decided to give it a try. What a difference! First, the home screen just looks better. The pad is much more responsive than before -- I'll have to get accustomed to tapping once and waiting before tapping the screen again. So far web browsing is easier, Kindle seems to be more stable (although I haven't used it long enough to really judge), and even battery life, which was good before, seems to have improved as well.
If you're looking to get your feet wet with a tablet but don't want to spend a lot of $$ the T301 might be a good start IF you upgrade to Android 2.2 (which you can do after you register the T301 at the velocitymicro.com site). Of course I haven't recently checked other tablet features/prices so you should probably do that!
Bought as a color, touchscreen Kindle. It's that and more Hooked up to WiFi fast and flawless. Great capacitive screen. Got live wallpaper. YouTube works great. Email works great. Needed get incoming/outgoing info from Centurylink, though. Must understand what you're buying. I have an iPad. This isn't one. Nor is it a full-fledged Android tablet. You're not getting that for $150! It IS, however, cheaper than a Nook Color with a Kindle selection. Some Android Apps work. Some don't. Try and see. Downloaded a video to 8GB SD card. Can't get it to play though. This is Android 2.2 out of the box. Didn't come with SD card. Not too important. They're cheap. No flash player. Skyfire Browser gives that though. I like this device. I like the 7inch screen. My kids steal my iPad and I needed a back up color, touchscreen reader/web browser with benefits for cheap. This is it!
