What a load of mince, I love my MID and had it flashed pretty quickly after receiving it. The worst part is finding the env_uboot file that suits the model of tablet you have. Once you've done that it's a piece of piss to flash. Just because you don't like of something doesn't mean that it is "crap" or a scam. Some people need something cheap but functional, I was one of them. With a bit of reworking, this tablet became perfect for me. Sure, the Chinese version of Android and Market that were installed were not particularly great but it can be fixed. If anyone has one of these tablets, just spend some time searching and you will get it sorted. Don't "throw it in the garbage", when you get it running a sane version of Android, you will most likely love it, I know I do.
