Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

(Note before Reading: The Device I have is the Saycool with Android 2.3 Now it appears they have a different device, which is an upgrade from the one I have. My Review still stands as all the features seem to be the same or are better, but just bear in mind that you may receive a model different from the one I reviewed.) After weeks of debating the Kindle Fire and seeing the reviews, I had decided NOT to get one, due to bad reviews and no MicroSD slot. So, what next? Found this tablet, and soon saw that there are multiple versions of this Cortex Box10 Tablet available now for much less than the kindle. Was able to find some videos of it in action on Youtube, plus saw these reviews and that clinched it, especially being able to see some one using it for 10 minutes (just search youtube for "Cortex A710) Surprisingly it arrived in only three days! Worked perfectly out of the box, wifi setup was a breeze. It only had a small charge so I plugged it in and was able to work with it while charging. What a great step up from my semi-smart LG Env Touch phone!Touch screen works great! Downloaded a bunch of free apps from android market and they work great. The screen is nice and bright, and the colors are vivid. Netflix works perfectly, as does youtube. I prefer the browser it came with to the brand name browsers. I could not put this down for hours..in fact I used it for about 7 hours straight when it arrived, and it had no glitches at all. This being my first Tablet, I am impressed and very happy with this product, and would highly recommend it. It is fast, videos are smooth, easy to start using right away. I plan on using it at church with our wireless projection system, and will post an addendum to this review when that is done. Addendum, day 3 with this tablet: the manual is in Chinglish, but if you google "Android 2.3 user manual" you will find many links to good user guides in english that apply to this tablet, since it is the generic 2.3 android system on it. I highly recommend you do this because you will get much more out of the Tablet. I grow more impressed with this each passing hour. Best $$ I have spent in ages. Again, if a particular model is out of stock, there seems to be a wave of this platform coming out of china under a slew of different names. They all seem the same. Addendum, day 5: Added a 16gb SD card, and now have loads of videos and files on the Tablet, as well as all my epub books. Utterly, totally thrilled with this tablet. Wish I had gotten one a year ago. I cannot wait to use it with the new Church wireless projection system. As one other reviewer has said, it has been glued to my hand. I am going to buy one of those new TruConnect 3g USB devices with the cheap pay as you option so I can have internet with me as well when I am not near home or a public wifi. Addendum: 3/2/12, over a month later, tablet continues to be great! Finally got around to trying the HDMI out and was stunned to see it in fact plays HD 720p videos out to a monitor. Got the cable for around 5 bucks here on Amazon. I was also happy to find a Kindle APP that lets me use the Tablet as a kindle reader...even gives you access to all the kindle books you have ordered, free! Addendum 4/6/12: Tablet still rocking, and it works with my church's wireless video presentation system! Can send videos in 720p to our projector and giant screen. Very cool! Also, in lieu of getting the kindle app if you have alot of Epub books, I recommend the Aldiko reader which is free at android market. Another tip; I am able to use an AC usb power supply/charger, from a 4 year old smartphone I used to own (larger plug than the new usb plugs). I recommend using one of these instead of the power supply that comes with it. The usb plug "holds onto" the tablet better. The one I am using is for the Motorola q phone...on Ebay really cheap. Addendum: Battery Life. I found that by turning the brightness of the screen to its lowest, the battery life more than doubled, but the difference was really not noticeable in terms of the display. In fact the bright setting is very bright, more than needed I'd say. It looks great on the low setting and I'd say I'm getting about six or seven hours of use on one charge. Addendum 9/14/12: so, about 9 months with this and no issues! best electronic device I have used. Use it first thing in the AM to check mail and news, use it every night as Kindle reader. Use it at my Church meetings to take notes, use Google calendar, or surf the net if meeting gets boring.
