Mediasonic SmartPad MTP-710 Allwinner Cortex A8 1.20 GHz 8 GB Memory 7.0" 800 x 480 Android 4.0, Capacitive Touch Screen, DDR 512MB, 8GB Memory Tablet PC Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Pros: Design, light weight and slim Rooted Netflix Skype video call HDMI video output Responsive 5 point Touch screen

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I got this tablet for my 12 yr old to play casual games, Watch cartoons (mostly .avi video) and Netflex. I don't plan to spend $500 on an iPad, this lower cost tablet can do it just fine, pre installed Google play store have tons of free apps such as games. sometimes an app will take a second or 2 to load up, which is fine in my standard, again I can not not compare this to an $500 tablet or an iPad. This thing is not the fastest in the world, but surely its one of the best in its class. I am happy with my purchase. recommended if you want an cheaper tablet with 4.0 ICS and doesn't want to dent your bank account, look no further.

Pros: Nice high resolution screen and smooth video playback. Good support for video and audio formats. Supports the latest Android version (Icecream Sandwich). The system is very responsive; no delay. Long battery life. Came with a good case.

Cons: none

Pros: Cheap price, less than one hundred dollar price with Newegg rebate. Comes rooted. Preinstalled with latest version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich). Internal 8gb storage for media. Comes with Google Play Store installed, works to install all apps. Lots of apps, many free, run under this version of Android, including Firefox, Winamp, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash and Netflix. HDMI output. 1080p during movie output using pre-installed "Super-HD Player" but at other times keep in mind when connected to HDMI tv/monitor the resolution of non-movie playing display will be the tablet's 800x480, upscaled, so it does not look 1080p, lol. Plays DIVX movies from internal storage with no lag. Plays Netflix streaming films (but take a couple of minutes to start playing and are blocky the first five minutes of the films and sound a 1/2-second out of sync), maybe Netflix app problem and not the tablet...

Cons: Tablet/Android crashes/reboots one-in-five-times when using touchscreen with live wallpapers enabled! One crash seemed to totally kill the machine, would not reboot or start even with long keypress of power button. Was ready to RMA. SOLUTION: I got it started again by plugging USB cable into tablet and into my PC and the darn tablet woke up! Battery life seems short, about 1% per-minute-or-two, going by the status bar, with wifi enabled and 1/3 screen brightness and plain static wallpaper. Screen has limited viewing angle, good for privacy, less good for everyday use. 512mb ram, nowadays should have 1gb. Volume kinda low, especially when tablet in case, as speaker is muffled. Included case's elastic straps (that hold tablet to case) block power hole lower right side making it needlessly difficult to plugin AC when tablet in case, and also elastic strap covers top left corner of tablet's screen, sigh...

Overall Review: I purchased this tablet to read PDF books on-the-go and to learn about latest Android OS. Was it worth the money? With the issues with random reboots/crashes when Live Wallpapers enabled, mediocre battery and screen limited viewing angle, I half regret this purchase. Maybe I should have put money towards a tablet with better (IPS?) screen, 1GB RAM, and longer-lived battery? Oh well, I can have it play netradio and photo slideshow on a spare HDMI monitor if it does not work out as a tablet...

Pros: First of all, for such a cheap price compared to what you get it's a great deal. Size is great, mostly responsive touch screen, more options then you know what to do with

Cons: I thought that the antenna was very weak. It was getting 1/2 a barn places where my Ipod was getting 3. It was also having trouble with connecting to other networks that connect just fine on all my other devices.

Overall Review: Alright for the price, but the connectivity is kind of a problem.

Pros: Easy to use, works right out of the box. Reasonably quick for a single core processor. Comes with all necessary cables and connectors plus a carrying case Slim and light weight

Cons: cant find anything wrong with it.

Overall Review: after a week of playing, still loving it. I put this next my bed, mostly for check email first thing when I wake up and youtube or casual browsing some stuff before going to bed. Not sure how long the battery will last since I do like the charger on most of the time, I will test that next time I leave town. The nice thing for me is that now I dont have to limit myself on my iphone's small screen anymore on video streaming. for close to $100, I believe is a great buy.

Pros: Very responsive touch screen, feels good in hand, allows for smooth game playing of games that are normally not doing well on small tablets, bright screen, no flaws detected so far. Well received by customers in our computer store. Sports some very impressive and visual pleasing wrapping (no brown box for this tablet). Most extraordinary however: included is an instruction booklet that is written in perfect English and printed without any spelling errors. It shows that this company seems to be committed to the US market. My compliments to this company for taking the extra steps.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you are looking to buy a 7" Android tablet for someone else, this is the one. You can't go wrong.

Pros: - $$$ CHEAP $$$ - I bought this for less than $80!! For that price surely one cannot go wrong? - Android OS: You actually get access to a root file system on a device you paid for without having to jailbreak against fascist master's will (you know who I'm talking about). - I found the processor sufficient to play the HD clip of Ironman that comes included on the device, plus I uploaded a 720 HD clip that seemed to play just fine. - Comes with a case! A plug in charger, and a USB cable, and a USB dongle (mini USB to standard Female USB).

Cons: - The screen quality is straight from 1990 Sega Game Gear. At 800 x 480 = 384k pixels, there is not enough resolution to read full page views of text (especially not textbooks). Sure you can zoom in, or turn the device to landscape but that kind of defeats the purpose of an e-reader (meant to read full page views in portrait). - Off axis viewing is horrible. The colors begin to wash out and give eye strain if you don't view the screen at the exact correct angle. - Maybe Apple patented all the gestures, but some of the controls for PDF reading are not intuitive and downright annoying if you are used to an iPhone. - The capacitance touch screen would be awesome, but it seems to interpret touches in an inconsistent manner. If you don't apply strong enough pressure, it thinks you are clicking instead of say dragging. - Processor struggles on large PDFs say like textbooks. - Android OS: If you are used to iPhone, the navigation of the OS definitely seems less intuitive or ergonomic.

Overall Review: For $80 it's really unfair to expect much out of the device. However, my main use for this tablet was to function as an ereader, and unfortunately the screen quality is just too low for me to be okay with that. A competitors product has 3x the pixels (1M pixels) in the same 7" screen for 2.5 x the price of this. So yes, this thing is cheap, it plays videos and music well, but I can't use this thing for long periods of time like I intended such as studying and reading. The screen quality is just too distracting and causes me too much eye strain. Based on the quality I'd say 2 eggs, but because it is so darned inexpensive that bumps it up to 3 eggs.

Pros: Android 4.0 Great for e-reading Low price

Cons: A little on the sluggish side The corners are a little tricky on the touch screen

Overall Review: I bought this for my wife as an ereader and for email and Facebook. Overall she seems to like it. The only complaints she has is that it's a little sluggish and the application button on the top right is hard to select.
