Anyone have more info on this tablet? The Arnova website is not working. I think this is the first tablet around $100 that I have seen with 1GB RAM.

Does it support the Android Market / Google Play store?

See The importance of having Google Play/Android Market on your tablet

I do not think it does but many do not such as the Coby's and others.

I have the Arnova AN 7 G3 with 4.0 ICS, I also have the Galaxy 7 Plus. The AN 7 G3 comes rooted straight out of the box!!! Only need to add superuser and busybox and your fully rooted. It comes with Applib market and you can add Amazon app maket. There is a work around for installing the full GooglePlay and works really well, there are a few apks that say not compatible with your device. I just back up the apk from my Skyrocket phone and email to my gmail address, install them from there and they work fine. The AN 7 G3 works really well for the $99 that I paid for it from hhgregg. Its not as good as my Galaxy 7 Plus but then it was $399. Check ARCTABLET New for the Play work around.
