Well, what a surprise this was, I only bought it so I could show customers my photographs without having to cart my lap top to every consultation and it has met and exceeded my expectations..
It not an iPad by any stretch of the imagination but it is superb and quick for the money....
I must remember that this is for work purposes and put down the (free) angry birds app............
I haven't left a product review in ages but this little gem has to have more. Just works out the box. WiFi setup a breeze. HDMI mini, USB mini, Micro card, all work. Hook them up and go. Played video off 16GB card flawlessly. Speaker tinny at full but nice sound through HDMI to TV and headphones. Camera is not great but fine for Internet calls. All told very impressed. Got about three hours plus change playing games, downloading and surfing before recharge better than my laptop ever. Great value at twice the price..................
Ordered the tablet on Sunday evening, it was delivered by Tuesday morning!
Like alot of other people, was worried about buying a cheap tablet, but read all the reviews of the M009S and decided to take the plunge. What a brilliant surprise this tablet was!
I'm a massive android fan and have a top end android phone that i've rooted and spend alot of time messing about with custom ROM's and tweeking the OS (stick with me if i've lost you!), so i had quite high expectations to meet.
I was looking for a tablet primarily for the kids to play games on and watch movies, to stop them pinching my phone all the time! Well this tablet more than meets my expectations....................
I was very happy with this product. The screen resolution is excellent however the colours are quite pale to start and get more vibrant as time passes with the screen on. I assume it warms up to full colour. Touch screen is very responsive, except mine is slightly off-centre and thus far I have found no way to re-calibrate it.
It has full access to the app store, but apps that require mobile numbers (whatsapp, natwest banking, etc) are not compatable so will not download. Although this seems obvious, I was surprised at how many apps I regularly use were incompatable for this.
Battery life lasts around 2.5-3 hours of constant useage with Wifi on and active (watching a streaming film on the device)................
This was my first experience of a tablet PC, so I didn't really know what to expect. It's a new model with no reviews I could find, so I bought it purely on specification. I haven't been disappointed. It uses the latest version of Android, 4.0.3.
The construction appears to be very good, and everything looks clean and well finished. The touch screen is very easy to use for a clumsy-fingered person like me. I particularly like the pinch zoom which helps no end with my not-so-good eyesight. My main use of the tablet will be browsing, and the included Chrome browser works fine, although I've installed Firefox which I prefer.
I have had a couple of crashes: once the machine locked up completely, and I had to switch it off, and twice the solitaire game which I installed has shut down abruptly in mid game. I've no idea if this is typical of this kind of device................
When I first started to play with this I was going to rush off and give it 5 stars. After now having played with it for a week I can't quite give it 5 but it is still much better than you might expect.
I've played with the iPad and the Galaxy and the Xoom, and I have an Android smartphone (HTC). I wasn't expecting the same performance and you don't get it but it's not bad at all.
The tablet runs a version of the Eken software modified by a guy on the Slatedroid site. This android build is Vestinious 1.3
Out of the box you have book reader (kindle), web, email and games. Angry Birds runs better on this than on my smartphone!
If you want a tablet to basically surf the web, read a book, send the odd message and play the odd game then it does the job. It is good value.................
