just picked one up yesterday. its an android based 7" tablet with wifi. it will take up to a 16gb micro SD card. it plays back mp3 and OGG. it has HDMI out as well but havent tried that yet. its a resistive type touch screen so you have to push a little harder than like you would with a more expensive device. it will stream web radio with the right app.

apps have to be obtained from there own app market. not sure why they did it that way as many of the apps there are on android market. it makes things a little clunky but i have found most of what i use soo far.

like most cheap tablets it has its quirks but i'm already getting used to it and learning how to get around on it. its not an item for the non-techy. its not novice proof like an ipad. you will get frustrated with this tablet if your not a geek. if you are a geek and your a cheapskate, this thing is a bargain. i'm willing to bet some will show up on ebay soon as non-techy users get frustrated with them.

Interesting I didn't know that cheapo tablets had SD card slots. If you want a smoking deal on a "cheap" tablet try the link below
