1 out of 5 eggs Poorly made product 10/02/2011

This review is from: AUGEN GENTOUCH78 256MB DDR2 Memory 7.0" 800 x 480 Tablet Android 2.1 (Eclair)

Pros:

This is the Augen Tablet that I decided to go with, because it was $$$ cheap! I use mine to watch movies, listen to music, check E-mail, surf the web, read books, and play basic games. Works as a hand warmer on cold nights.

Cons:

Where do I begin!
The screen takes a lot of pressure to respond. The screen is also very inaccurate, for example, when I key in the letters for an E-mail, many times the letter above my selection is placed in the E-mail, causing it to take a long time to do a simple E-mail.
The Micro SD slot is sloppy. I have lost my small SD card in it! I have HAD to open it up just to remove the lost SD card that had fallen in. Bad design, Augen!
My unit gets HOT, I mean really HOT to the touch.
Short battery life.
When watching movies, the unit skips really badly so that you can't enjoy a simple movie.
Music does the same thing with skipping and pausing on every song.
I must use head phone to listen to the sound because the onboard speakers do not produce good sound- they crackle and pop and rattle instead of producing clear sounds.
I also have to use a paper clip and press the reset button after an hour of use, because it locks up.

Overall Review:

I am very SAD that I went with this product. I would recommend spending more money and buying a better product. The Augen Gentouch is not an iPad replacement. Save yourself the headaches and stay away from this Augen product. Newegg is the best place to shop, I am just surprised that they offer this product, when I can see so many problems with it.
