Sent back but good
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Bought this to use mainly for music and you tube liked the price dislike the battery time as it does not last very long and the audio is not the best, for price it does the job for the reason I purchased it .
The case feels reasonably solid. Screen: clear and sharp, but it has a very narrow optimum viewing angle. This is especially evident with video. It takes about 30 seconds to start from fully off, but wakes up from sleep in one or two. Just put it to sleep when you're not using it. The battery lasts about two hours from a full charge browsing the web. Recharging takes longer (surprise!), and it seems to spend a long time on 99% charge before it gets to 100%. I usually leave it on charge overnight, and have to recharge it during the day at weekends. The on-screen keyboard is responsive and well laid out, but a 16:9 screen is not ideal for writing - in landscape mode the keyboard takes up half of the screen, but if you turn it to portrait, the keys are too small for my hands. This review was mostly written on the tablet, using Text Edit from Arnova's app store. The built-in speaker is very small, and struggles with anything more than clicks and bleeps. The tablet has a standard headphone socket, and the sound from this was fine. Software is a big problem - the real Android Market does not recognise this tablet. Arnova have their own pet App Store, but there's a lot missing - Kindle, for example. You can fix this by installing third-party firmware, but this not a thing to be done lightly. Google "arnova 10b g3 firmware" if you want to have a go. EDIT: see the first comment for a different method. Video: the tablet comes with a demo CGI animation in .avi format. This played smoothly on the video app. Music: I bought and downloaded a song from Amazon. The music player found it automatically, and it sounded OK on headphones.Read full review
I purchased this as a slightly used item as I just wanted a cheap tablet which would be a bit more portable than my laptop for travelling. So far it's performed brilliantly. All I'm using it for is basically emails and browsing the internet, all of which it does easily and I've found it quite fast. The touch screen is very responsive and I will probably download more aps. but at the moment it's quite adequate for my needs. Even if I'd paid full price for a new model, I would consider this great value for money compared to other tablets. It may not have all the 'bells and whistles' but it suits my needs when on the move just fine.
why go out and spend £500+ on an ipad go and get your self one of these all the features of more exspensive tablet at a fraction of the cost.Powered by adroid 4 software ,memory easy n cheap to upgrade,cant say a bad thing about it ,brilliant !!!!
