more than i expected!
By Jeremy Frost
I expected a dumbed down tablet type system in a bulky hard case. What I got was a 7" android tablet in a soft slip on silicon type cover. The tablet isn't a "kids edition" type device. It is a fully functional WiFi tablet. It is up to the parent to put the kid apps on it. It has the Google play store like any Android phone or tablet. YouTube, internet explorer, user facing camera,email, and other basic tablet apps. The silicon case stays on the device very well and the buttons are easy to operate through the case. This device is great for anyone, not just a kid. For the price, you can't beat it. My 3 & 7 yr old will be fighting over it for a while. It does get bogged down when trying to do a lot if tasks at once but so does my Samsung tablet. This seems to be a quality item, just be prepared to spend some time adding the kid friendly apps yourself when the item arrives.

This is a great starter tablet for young kids. Very decent for the price!
By Cute Chihuahua
This Android tablet includes a wall charger and a USB cable so you can charge in with a regular electrical outlet or by connecting it to any powered USB port. You could charge it with a USB wall charger, USB car charger or by connecting it to a USB port on your computer. You can continue to play on it while it's charging if you wish. It has a 4 hour battery life on this which is shorter than I am used to but I am not going to use it for more than 4 hours in one day so it really doesn't make much difference.
The screen on the tablet is 7 inches measured diagonally and the tablet inside is standard. What makes this tablet kid friendly is the special thick silicone shell that encases this tablet. It covers the entire back and side of the tablet and around the edges of the front as well. It's about 1/4 of an inch thick so it can really protect the tablet from minor falls and bumps quite well. It should still be protected even if it's dropped on it's front because the silicone shell is so thick. The one exception would be if you were to drop it or hit it on something small or sharp that would only hit the screen. In this case the shell wouldn't be able to protect it. I think it provides very good protection from the average drop or bump.
The screen on this tablet isn't as high quality as my iPad for example but this tablet costs ten times less than my iPad and the screen is just fine for the price of this tablet in my opinion. The screen resolution is 1024 x 600 which is lower resolution than I am used to. I still looks nice but I can certainly notice the difference. For the price it's not bad at all.
You can do all the things with tablet as with any other Android tablet. There are tons of free games that you can download for free on the Amazon App Store. There are new free games daily so even if you don't want to purchase games you can still get many of them for free. Even some of the best games are totally free from time to time. A lot of times when the game first comes out they want to get people taking about it and rating / reviewing it so they offer it for free. You can surf the internet with the built-in browser or Google chrome if you wish. You can stream music with Apps like Pandora or stream movies or TV shows with services like Netflix or Hulu Plus. This tablet has built-in Wifi for anyone that is wondering. It also has a lot of goodies already installed like a calculator, clock, email, Skype, Google Play, sound recorder, voice search, news and so much more. It already has wallpapers installed so you can customize the look of your background. It even have active wallpaper that moves. This was a cool feature that my costly iPad doesn't even have.
I cam easily download games on this tablet just as quickly as with my iPad. It can be slow sometimes but so can my iPad. This tablet seems to have limited amount of memory and sometimes it will freeze during installation or when a game is loading. It doesn't happen often enough to bother me much though. It has 4GB of built in memory for saving apps, music, video, emails and whatever else you need to store. I think for most kids this would be a sufficient amount of memory but you can expand it if you need to. I love how easy it is to expand the memory because all you have to do is insert a memory card. I wish I could expand the memory on my iPad that way. You can expand the memory on a iPad at all so that option is pretty cool to me.
It also has a built-in camera for taking pictures and sending video on Skype or a comparable app. The picture and video isn't amazing but is pretty decent. Keep in mind that this is for younger kids so while most may take pictures I wouldn't think that most would be video chatting on Skype.
Overall my feelings about this Android tablet are very positive. Is this a state of the art and top of the line tablet? No. If you want one of those then be prepared to pay about 16 times the cost of this tablet. This tablet is however a very low cost and very decent tablet for the price. This is a easy tablet for me to recommend for a parent that would like a tablet for their child but doesn't have a ton of money to spend.

Have to admit, I'm impressed!
By Debra
I'm not sure, really, what I was expecting with this tablet. I figured, something minimal that little ones could play with, What it is - a full featured tablet that is worlds better than my FIRST tablet.
PROS: It is quick and responsive, lightweight, good graphics, expandable storage (microSD slot), runs off of Android (not some off the wall, proprietary OS), the rubber bumper DOES come off, so an adult could easily get one of these for themselves. It will charge off of the USB port, so you don't need a special car adapter, and if you are transferring files from your 'main' computer, it is also charging the battery.
It is about the size of a Kindle Fire (without the rubber bumper) - so the cases made for the Kindle should fit it.
CONS: It can only do one thing at a time - if you are downloading applications, wait until one is completely finished downloading before attempting another download or you are doomed to frustration. WiFi only goes to 'g', not 'n', so you trade off a little speed there, but nothing noticeable The camera is elementary, and the pictures it takes reflect this. Would be fine for Skype, but don't expect good photos from it.
Overall - yes, a good little tablet and worth the price - either for little ones OR an adult.
