Good for the money
It does its job as a book reader. Night reading feature is excellent. Dictionary included is for great help. The touch screen is not very sensitive which makes internet browsing and typing difficult. Not too many apps available.

Not up to my expectations
Not having an Android phone account, I couldn't load applications which, amongst other things, would allow me to use this as a note pad. The first thing I noticed taking it out of the box was the weight considering its size! I had problems getting it to reboot because it froze on me several times. However, since it doesn't cost as much as many other such pads, I guess my expectations were a little high, so I decided to return it because I was clearly disappointed.

Great
Absolutely love this thing, I got it from my boss last week, because he thought that he wouldn't be able to use it for the work we do. I did some research online and with the help of some nice people on slatedroid I ended up putting a custom ROM (OS) on it and hacking it to run at 532mhz all the time, also got it working on the Google MarkeyPlace. Everything on this is great... IF... you hack it with the setCPU hack and the custom ROOTED rom for it. All in all, very nice little tablet and has LOTS of potential. Now bring on FROYO.

Great Product!!!!! A+
Dispite the horrible reviews, and good ones, i decided to get it. It DOES take a while to start up, but the battery life is amazing. For a color screen, it lasted 8 hours non-stop with wifi ON. The touch screen is good, don't expect iPad performance. I am using a stylus which works GREAT! Get one with a plastic tip. The weight is fine, it's lighter then the iPad. There are TWO app stores, but NO Android Market, still searching for it. It's the perfect price if $140 or less. I am a avid book reader, also very intouch with technology, and i love this little reader. Upgrading firmwire is very complicated, currently using it with it's normal version 2.0, which works great:) GET IT! You will not be dissapointed! It's great to carry around, and a good size! Also, there was a batch of defective cruz readers that were made incorectly, so make sure you want it before you buy it! Hope this helps! Happy Shopping:)
