Hey Kat! I'm surviving, we have a lot of illness and death in our family and it's getting me down again. Lost a sis in law a month ago from pneumonia. Totally healthy otherwise. Aunt died last night. Brother given 6 mos from bladder cancer. Another sis in law in stage 4 lung cancer, then my husband with liver cancer. Just trying to get by day by day. I just wish Iwouldn't be so down and could have given you a 'cheery' answer-lol. How are you????

I bought mine on Tuesday or Wednesday--I thought stores usually did markdowns at the same time? I was confused by their signage, though--this sale is a markdown of a markdown, which I didn't realize. I thought the seeds would be about $.35 per pack, then when I got to the register I found they were a lot cheaper and I went back for more.

actually most of the reviews are very old and of the original version not the latest one that has the updated android 2.2 OS. Which is why I much prefer to find current users that have used the device to know what it is like currently, I find that happens very often with devices that change and update, which is good means the company is putting out updates to fix glitches. I to had read reviews and was skeptical but thought well I can get it and just return it if it is a lemon. I have had it for a while now and not a single problem with it, I keep it beside me all day and play a ton of games on it. I have all my fave websites saved so I can surf at leisure. For the price I would sure buy it again. Anyone that does get it let me know I will be more than happy to give the tricks I have learned and help however I can. I especially like that it updates immediately directly from online with out any problems at all.

oh yes you can do all the same email functions you can on your pc, it does use that smaller virtual keyboard but it is larger than a smartphone keyboard. It took me about 2 mins to get my hotmail set up on it and the gmail was even quicker. Plus should you choose to use an app there are a LOT of email apps. I use one called better hotmail on my smartphone. But I just use what came with this tablet. I can come and post here from it too. Same things I do at my pc basically. I really am on my desktop much much less these days because I have this tablet sitting on my table beside my recliner! this one does not come with a case but there are a lot of the sleeve cases that will fit it for pretty cheap. It does do horizontal and vertical views. It has a very responsive touch screen mine takes just taps, it is not quite as responsive as my HTC smartphone but for me it is just right the one on my phone sometimes gets away from me LOL. Janie I don't understand why the kindle app is not wanting to install, I would try uninstalling it from the unit and going to get the app from a different app store. I know the amazon app store has it so that would be a good place to go. When you go to the amazon app store you may have to install their little app installer but then you can just tap on the amazon store icon on your device and go right to the store and download your apps right straight to it. If you have not tried the Aldiko reader app I highly recommend it. Tami it may not come with any email associated with it, I would think they would clear that out before selling it if it is a used one. With my sylvania tablet it did have to do an update as soon as it was charged up and I connected to wifi so my guess is this one would have to do that also, Always a good idea to immediately check for any updates anyway and always do that with it plugged into power! Just in case the battery decides to go dead in the middle of an install (not good)

Jamie, it's good to hear from you, but I'm sorry to hear about all you and your family are facing.

As for the tablet, Raven or someone else might weigh in here, but meanwhile here are the reviews on Amazon.

What I can tell you about it is for the price it is ok, not great, it has a small fairly low end processor, and low end screen resolution. But for basic use and as an ereader it will fit the bill. Just don't expect greatness.
You can always return it.
I am very sorry for the losses and serious health issues. Best of luck, let me know what else I can help you with.

The price looks good. Have you ever looked at Craigslist for a used one, my sis in law bought an Ipad for little money and it's been a year so far of flawless performance.

Hi Jamie! my DH who is a former puter wiz (changed fields) got one this past weekend. he wants it for an ereader and internet thru wireless @ home & hotels. he hacked his and is happy w it for only $100. you will need to add an SD card. he is using it as his kindle since the one i bought him i took over LOL. he likes it, it is in no way a substitute for a laptop. we have a collection of those. it's ok for light browsing, magazine & newspaper reading etc...it was dh's way of heading me off from going down the iPad3 path LOL and trying to stear me to an ASUS or Acer tablets that are coming out soon... ~ liz
