Hey Guys,
I just picked up one of these up through one of our accounts at work, I saw it on the net and figured at $249 it was a good buy, My supplier bought the price down for me to match deals direct and threw in a 16Gb SD card so it was too hard to pass up. Gotta say i was a little disappointed at first had a few issues with WiFi and it wasn't connected to the full Android market so you couldn't even get apps like angry birds trip advisor etc and their version on Android 2.2 was a little clunky.
I decided to chuck Android 3.2 on it and all i can say now is WOW what great value for money tablet it is now! Only took me 5min to do the upgrade and its a pretty easy step by step instructions. It now is connected to the full android market and has better drivers for the WiFI / Bluetooth. We were comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy Tab and its just as good function wise only complaint was screen quality but at $249 v $600 what can you expect.
If you are after a cheap Tab i can def recommend one but with the ViewComb 3.2 Android Upgrade
