WOW... For £249 this really is a rival for anything else out thare... May not be an Ipad, but looks and feels like one, and the fact tht it has full Google Apps makes it a real bargain... Would recommend to anyone looking for a tablet for aducts or children... Also had excellent service from the staff in Kidderminster store...

What an amazing piece of kit. Have been looking for ages but always been put off by high prices elsewhere. This is a bargain at the offer price. Bought for the kids who will love it for Angry Birds, cut the rope and youtube along with all the other great things on android platform. Its a huge smartphone but even better. Can't believe the quality for the price. Can also be used as a media player and will go in the car on longer journeys to keep them occupied. Will need to purchase a USB connector as comes with plug in jack charger but has mini and regular USB connections and a mini HDMI too so can be hooked up to TV if streaming movies over netflix etc. If you are looking for a top of the range tablet at an affordable price you will not go wrong with this offering from a name you can trust. 12 month guarantee in the box. No real instructions though. But all very easy and instinctive to use.

this gave me most of what I wanted but no bluetooth ok I can buy a bluetooth adapter but it does not work there support was not very helpfull on this matter. tablet itself is nice to use a bit slow at times as it is only a 1GB processor after using it for a few months I think it's a bit over priced for what you get. Would not recommend this product at the full price, if its on sale then maybe

I bought one of these a few months ago when they were reduced. Not bad but have found that its not compatible with a lot of the android apps and doesnt like YouTube much as often freezes. Not bad for the price but for a few pounds more you can get better - ie nexus or the like. Although it seems well made its hard to hold as is a little heavy. Main issue is that the charger is none standard - why not charge from USB port.
