Hi,
I'm new to this forum and to Android Tablets. I was looking for an inexpensive model that could still be useful and
do the basic functions (web/email/games/etc). I picked up this Nova model and in the short while I've been using it,
it does look good but I do have two problems.
1) The battery only last about 2 hours and it takes about 4 hours to charge. I was expecting about 5 hours or more
but the manual don't say what to expect except it takes 4 hours to charge.
2) The manual don't explain the many options or features it has or it's wrong. example: It says the led is red when charging
and goes off when charged but it really goes red when charging and green when charged.
Also, I can't find very much on the web about this model, like reviews, etc. It looks like a quality model and it does have a
capacitive TFT LCD screen, when most cheaper models have a resistive screen.
I have the details I can find listed below but I would like to find a good review on this model, and if it's sold under another
brand and how can I extend the battery life? The manual list it as a iMAP 210 @ 1GHZ CPU, 4 GB NAND flash, 512 DDRII,
800X480 capacitive dual touch panel, 4500 mAh Li-Polymer battery and android 2.2 froyo (V2.6) OS

What do you think of this tablet as an inexpensive model and how does it compare to others in it's price range? What's the best area in the forum to post
for this model, it's not listed here.
