Le Pan tablets?

[pau00008]

Thank you Spider. I just rceived 2 Le Pan tablets in the mail from Wal-Mart for my girls' CHRISTmas presents. I am certainly not a computer mom, but I sure do like fooling with gadgets. I am excited to get these up and running for them BEFORE CHRISTmas eve! I would love to have one place to talk to others about the Le Pan and ask loads of questions. Hopefully I will learn enough to help others too. I am charging them now.

Hello, will there be exact step by step instructions for a "non-computer" person to follow? I will need to know exactly what to do.
Thanks so much!

These tablets will certainly make good Xmas gifts. Congrats on the purchase and feel free to ask lots of questions!

I just wanted to add, that I just checked the firmware, and build 4431 is already installed, so I do not need to upgrade the firmware. yay..

Hello all ..
(I dont want to double post, but I did accidentally add my first post to the Android thread, and not the Le Pan thread, so I will post it here, where i wanted to in the first place!),

I just received my wife's Christmas Le Pan in mail from Amazon dot ca. It was one of the $169 ones.

Had to open just to see, and start setup. It has a 2/3 charge, and fired up nicely. Does feel a little heavy, so will see how that works out

It looks very smart. Got connected to my WiFi on first try. The touchscreen keyboard was quite responsive.

I have a Galaxy S smartphone running Android 2.2 Froyo so I hope my experience with that will help me pick good apps for this one.
I will have to pick and choose wisely, because my wife doesn't like clutter, and I dont want to slow it down with things she wont use.

I do see that there is a thread on peoples most-liked apps, so I'll be going there soon.
I have already bought a 32 gig Micro SD (class 10) so will be adding some videos and hopefully figuring out how to put Kindle books on there, instead of internal memory

Thanks for the forum, and I may be wishing that I bought myself one, though being the techie in the family, would probably get frustrated that it was stuck on V2.2

I look forward to posting my findings once it is set-up and once my wife starts using it (she WILL have to wait till Christmas!).

Technically that isn't correct - there is a "newer" version of the 4431 build on the website that fixes the flipped camera issue... but I think that might be the only thing it fixes?

Does 4431v2 say v2 in the About screen? mine says 4431 in the About screen, but the camera seems fine to me. It's a mirror image, same as what my iPhone's front camera shows. Does that mean mine is already v2?

I downloaded the firmware from the website after the camera fix update, dated December 7th. My build number reads 4431....there is no mention of v2. Next time I hope that they would give the firmware version a different number to eliminate the confusion.
