Gotchas: 1) no app store 2) resistive touch screen (not capacitive like iPhone etc) 3) single-touch

- jimbobimbo 16y agoI actually got something similar off of eBay from China: $90+$30 for shipping. The thing is surely pos quality wise (slow [same specs as this one] and battery doesn't keep charge for long, screen/touch suck, plus some power management issues), but hey, it's $120 and I can actually develop something for Android and read books/browse net. I don't care even if it die tomorrow. App store isn't an issue, as long as you can download software directly. Why even bother with some intermediary?
- DenisM 16y ago$137 for an 8" tablet opens up a lot of opportunities for a kitchen pc, or say a door-side pc, or home-automation control panel. If anyone gets one please post your review.
- v4us 16y agoBattery life time is so critical. It if can work for 6-10hours it is fine. Really, we will be able to serf the internet and read pdf files. So, good deal
- ZXT 16y agoI want one...I mean at that price it will have a purpose...either as a back up netbook or an alternate or maybe yes...a kitchen PC.
- Rhapso 16y agoWhy does it come with a proprietary apple connector?
- dave1619 16y agoWow, this is cool. Too bad the touch screen is resistive and not capacitive. But it's pretty neat to see Android tablet prices so low. At $137 price point, it would be great to get one by my bed, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the car... and in my golf bag.
- bho 16y agopretty neat. i wish the bezel wasn't so thick, but hey it's $130.
- jackfoxy 16y agoAnyone know if the OS can be upgraded to 2.2?
