Not bad for price
October 15, 2012
By Karen L. Lorgus
I also got mine as a groupon deal, and yes, the charger is a little wobbly, but charges just fine. I use it for a reader, and also download a LOT of apps—and honestly it hasn’t even gotten close to running out of memory for the small 8g it is. No removable storage on mine either! Touch screen works pretty well. There is not very much difference in brightness settings though, so very difficult to see outside, and seems over-bright at night. Every so often I do have to shut the unit totally down to reset it, but, I think that is not unusual for any computer. Overall, love it for the price!
No complaints

So far, so good!!! I was very happy with what I received!! Luckily I have a teenager who knew how to navigate this with no problem otherwise I would be lost – LOL It was better than anticipated – when reading other reviews there were complaints of the touchscreen and needing to use stylus – well I guess they upgraded it before mine was sent because there was NO STYLUS and the touchscreen was flawless – YAY!!!!! So far – so good !!! I would highly recommend this – and if I had any complaints I wouldn’t hesitate to voice them – hopefully I do not have a change of heart

Good luck !!!

The bundle just adds a pair of earbuds (which are already included) and a cheapo sd card for about $40 extra.
If you’re looking at this page, you should be looking at here instead SKYTEX Skypad Alpha 7″ Touch Screen Cortex-A8 Tablet Android OS 2.3
There are many informative reviews and a much more realistic price. Since you’re here though, I love my skypad and I have a detailed review at the main item page.
EDIT: As of 01/01/12, this bundle is $172 and the unit itself is $124 right here at amazon. You pay $53 extra for a small SD card.
