Consumer review by: ebagslaeyr (cnet.com)

This is such a terrible excuse of an internet tablet

Your better off buying an ipod and i really hate ipods. This is such a waste of money, but if you want something with an unresponsive touch screen, almost no apps, and garbage headphones then you should definetely buy this

There really wasn't anything special about this device

This is an android device yet it can barely use any android apps. It has a terrible response time on the touch screen even though i calibrated it many times and the applib that is supposed to be like the android marketplace sucks sooo much

Consumer review by: j_peralta (cnet.com)

Cheap....you pay what you get for. Not worth it.

If the screen was responsive, this would be worth it. It could of had a running chance had they made this with a bit more quality. This was originally a gift for my younger brother to get him used to android, but i decided not to give it to him ......

In-expensive. Very portable, able to play many types of media

Horrible horrible horrible response touch screen, tiny screen, slow, not much android apps on an ANDROID device, back cover is weak, battery life is short, has an internal rattling noise from 1st drop

Archos 28 (8GB)

This is totally useless. Nothing more than a cheap MP3 player with the ability to browse the web at wifi hotspots. I am not an Apple fan but, if you are looking for an internet tablet that's going to give you your monies worth get an Ipad.

It was inexpensive. Under $90 at Sears

I didn't like anything about it touch pad was useless even with a stylus it couldn't get the letters correct on the keyboard. Unresponsive most of the time. No Android Apps just some trash from Applibs

Very Poor Item

Bought this a couple months ago - figured for the price it was cheaper then an IPOD. Nice package and easy to you - Some features that weren't included was google apps, and very limited with what apps you could get. I dropped this once and shattered...

Cheap hardware

Touch panel condition is not so good and very insensitive to touch. After a year of usage of the tablet, touch panel came to mulfunction. I think touch panel is the weak point of this tablet. Also, I found the back panel gets so hot during the long...
