Hey I’m glad! While these things suck in many ways, especially now that you can get something similar with a capacitive screen for the same $200 they go for now, I actually use mine a fair bit as a desktop handsfree skype device and as a media player with various stereos and in the car. I never activated the sim but might if I can use it has a hotspot … it’s an honest little gadget that just needed a capacity, multi-touch screen from day one.
‘An honest gadget’ is pretty much why, when I found them still in stock, today, at Myers, Queen Street Mall, for $149, I snapped one up fast. eBook reading, and web browsing on my LG optimus One is a pain with its small screen. For me, this inexpensive 7in tablet fits the bill perfectly.
Finding that I can bring mine up to a tolerable version of Android, from the outset, is a bonus. 🙂
Oh that’s a sweet price, especially from bloody Myers. I paid 300 about a year ago and at that time was happy. If you accept the limitations before buying, $150 is a total bargain. For $175 total, you can have a tablet with a 16gig in it …
Just when I thought the Optus mytab getting froyo in April was bad!
Love it when companies release a update and its still an outdated version!
Very poor but standard for telstra. The pretty disappointing for huawei! Might rethink my mediapad purchase!
