meh it looks ok enough, but you get what you pay for.

When it comes to those no-brand ebay items, you should ALWAYS look at the youtube reviews before purchasing.

Considering the price, I'd say it's not a bad deal. Just be realistic with your expectations though. It's certainly no iPad replacement. I once bought one of those "MID" tablets and they aren't very quick at all. The touch screen interface isn't that responsive and it's a hit or miss whether you'll be able to use the Android Market, which is a pretty important component. Also, I had a funny incident where I plugged in the tablet to the PC via USB and that was the end of me having a functional tablet.. I'm guessing the internals got fried or someting.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Having had the experience I did, I would never get one in that price range because it doesn't meet my standards. 800x640 isn't too shabby considering the size, and 1.2ghz is decent for a tablet. Weak CPU = lack of responsiveness. Make sure it's dual core though. I can tell that this one isn't because any seller would be flambouyantly mentioning it.

If it has the latest flash, that's good, so you'll hopefully be able to browse most of the web. Android is a flexible OS so you don't have to worry about software capabilities much, but hopefuly the hardware enables you to play games decently and watch video and flash content smoothly.

i entered this thread with clenched buttcheeks and i left relieved.

stick to the name brands, but u can buy older models cheaper. toshiba AT100 or Motorola XOOM 1, even ACER A500 are CHEAP in the right places. i have a sony, mum has a xoom.

And here I was half-expecting you to buy an HP TC1100 or HP 2730p or Fujitsu T5010 or some Motion Computing slate...you know, actual Tablet PCs, not Android media slates.

You are not the person that gets to pick the names for things, sorry.

Hmmmm, I really don't know.

I have been using the Windows Phone and the way it does things is freaking awesome. Once Win8 Metro Tablets come out I think they will do many things a lot better than iPad and Android Tablets.

with tablets I think its better to get whats cheaper since they all function the same pretty much. Except for the blackberry playbook which should be considered the best tablet on the market if it weren't for the crappy OS that it has which is worthless for apps. ICS android 4.0 is far better than iOS for the most part anyways and people who keep comparing it to ipads need to stop. I have an ipad 3 and it can't do half the stuff my android 4.0 can. When ipad can download torrents then i'll reconsider.

What I mean is you aren't using a common term. So there is no point in using it anymore.

They are tablets now, call them as such.

working in a retail world, u start to get a handle on the common terms. i find a lot of these quite funny. people will regularly ask for "That ipad galaxy" because ipad is the common term for tablet for some people. same with GPS's and video cameras. generic lexicon for video camera is "Handycam", yet thats a sony name. depenindng what part of the world ur from depends if Navman or Tomtom ar the generic name for GPS units.

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="NamelessPlayer"] Not all tablets are made equal, though. I expect some differentiation in terminology to reflect the variation in tablet computers. This isn't like how a typical computer comes in desktop or laptop forms. Processor architecture (and thus the OSes that can run on it) and input methods are key differentiators in the tablet space, and you just expect me to lump them all into one label?kungfool69

are you telling me most people call cola; coke, tissues; kleenex, a portable tape player; walkman?

Are you joking? Companies would love for their brand to be synonymous with a certain product category.

Thanks for all your messages guys. The tablet is great and quite fast. plays most games smoothly, internet is speedy, even plays fb games with flash just about. feels expensive too. Brand or no brand its quality and amazing for the price!

Meh, the only Android tablet I would purchase is the Kindle Fire. I wouldn't trust it.

Those who advocate the term "Android Media Player," I certainly agree. It's not the mainstream term, but it's much more accurate than "tablet PC."

Having said that, I believe we HAVE distinguished between them as being either "tablets" or "tablet PCs." The OP made the mistake of calling it a tablet PC and of course the seller will probably use the term also, in order to boost the percieved flexibility of the device.

Like I mentioned earlier, I owned one of those chinapads and they are by no means worthy of being called "tablet PC's." If it can run a full-fledged OS, I'll call it a tablet PC. I can barely go a day without using my Lenovo x61 convertible tablet PC. It's the most flexible device I've ever used and fellow college students always look at me in envy while they fiddle with their toyish iPads or Mac Books that are probably 3-fold the price I payed.

I have a 386 running linux, that is a full fledged OS.
