Pros: - Came with android 1.9_88 Installed
- Market WORKS out of the box
- youtube working out of the box
- Touch screen is senstive and scrolling is easy
- works with USB keyboard
- works with USB bluetooth dongle
- works with CDMA and GSM modems (or your cell phone attached as a modem)
- Fantastic MID!!
Cons: - dongle presents a strain issue on the dock connector. I suggest a generic apple ipod/ipad extension cable to connect the dongle for ethernet/USB
Other Thoughts: People don't give this enough credit. It's not an ipad and never will be. This is a cheap but super awesome android mobile internet device. youtube works well and since firmware 1.9_88 the marketplace works great!
Bottomline: Buy this. Highly recommended!
Too bad.

Pros: No pros.
**I DONT RECOMMEND**
*NÃO RECOMENDO*
Cons: The touch doesn t work well. Its hard to scroll the the SCREEN using the finger. WIFI is too weak - the range is less than 10 meters(TEN METERS). Gravity sensor doesn t woRking. I believe it is the worst deal that i have made in my life. The produtct has a POOR QUALITY.... Esse produto tem a pior qualidade que já vi em um produto desse tipo: desde o detalhe do manual até a pobre tela de cristal liquido que vem com um plástico que mais parece uma embalagem do que a cobertura do LCD.. Tudo é ruim... Não consigo imaginar o que eu vou fazer com essa tranqueira,.
Other Thoughts: I wont buy any product without reviews. I always have bought products from dealextreme and have no problems, but i was miguided with this product.
Bottomline: I REPEAT - DONT BUY, DONT BUY
Great and cheap Tablet

Pros: The tablet is cheap, small/ light and great for surfing internet; emails on yahoo, gmail, msn; facebook, and Standard Definition video on Skyfire 2.0, YouKu, and todou, etc. The Touch panel is quick in response and scrolling up and down smoothly. Zoom in and out is also effortless with a stylus. Its fun to be able to try out a lots of free apps- on the unit.
Cons: The unit Upon received works well. However, soon the user will feel strained as Youtube video/ the video in the browser could never play; and the AppsMarket cannot download files. This is a flaw in the original firmware.
Upgrading would be a challenge to many new user, and risk the possibility to brick the unit Bootcode rendering it totally useless. Fortunately, there are helps from Forum in this site and www.Slatedroid.com , to re-install the working firmware into the unit. However, there are some whom still had not been successful todate.
Android 1,6 does not support flash.. so Youtube Video Don't play. The CPU is small and GPU could not handle all Video format and high definition video well.
Other Thoughts: The manufacturer should at least include:
a) A recovery disk or provide a link to a site to download the recovery file.
b) Perform Quality check /test AppMarket to confirm working before shipment to customer.
c) Install the free Skyfire2.0 instead of the standard browser.
d) Upgrade the apps "youtube support package"
Since Youtube/ video does not work on the unit, the advertisment should at least indicate so.
All, lets hope that the new skyfire2.3 released last week would work on this unit, then video would play properly
Bottomline: great for surfing internet and watching small video, fun learning about Androids, download apps - games , etc. (after re-installing Fytouch firmware)
works, most not worth the price

Pros: All the pros will Android only for architecture, in my case I updated to 1.8.2 was very good.
Cons: Equipment with an incredibly poor quality. In my case the device only works as a desktop, because the battery stopped working yesterday and from the higher volume buttons stopped working when the menu stop, got a paperweight. Do not buy if you knew.
Other Thoughts: Seek other options, preferably from a known brand with reliable hardware, as the android certainly stayed cool.
Bottomline: Flee from this model.!
