Hi to all
I have just acquired a nifty new generic MID Android tablet from sitting thru some boring travel club presentation. I have wanted on to play with, and free seemed a good price to start.
Im sure its probably the lowest quality made, but hey for free its fine for now.
Couple of questions, hopefully someone can help with.
First is kinda funny. The thing came with a booklet, when I had a problem with the internet connection, I looked in the book index under troubleshooting. It referenced page 29. The booklet had 28 pages! Ooops!
So, first question, it does have an App market, but often, even when I am connected to WiFi, it says lost internet connection. When I go back to the browser, the internet is fine? Any ideas here?
Next, also pertaining to the App Market. Various sites I go to, google, facebook, dropbox, etc,. have a link for an Android app, and say how it will afford me faster browsing, but when I click that link, I get an error message, about not having permissoin to that URL? Huh?
Battery life. SEems VERY short, like an hour maybe? Does this seem about right for this level of devices?
Speed and response. The browser loads so so, but scrolling up and down pages seem really slow, and the touch response sketchy? Again, is this about what to expect on a cheapy generic?
OK, thats about it for now.. dont want to overwhelm upon my welcome
Thanks for a nice forum, I'll be looking around and learning stuff.
Later on,
Diane
