| 27 of 29 people found the following review helpful  I'm surprised! Chances are good that I'm keeping it!, By This review is from: Ematic eGlide 7-Inch Touch Screen Tablet with Android 2.1 - Black (Electronics) Added in edit, 4/11/'11: I stand by my original review. However, time marches on, along with operating systems.** As of today, I would strongly recommend against ANY Android 2.1 product. ** I DO stand by original review, so if one is hell-bent and determined to get an Android 2.1 tablet, this is still a good one. Added in edit, 3/23/'11: Please read the comments that follow this review. They add to the discussion. If you're sure a tablet with Android 2.1 will meet your needs, go for it. If you need something right away, consider it. However, spring is here. Summer is fast approaching. We have been promised a flood of tablets from many makers. One wonders what that will do to prices, especially for a unit that comes with Android 2.2 or later. That said, I've no regrets of getting this tablet considering when I got it. I couldn't wait for the deluge. Added in edit, 2/15/'11: Definitely keeping it. It does just what I wanted of it--storage and retrieval of 800+ one page PDF documents in a directory structure of my choosing. What works: Swype What doesn't: Skype, Flash ------------------------------------------- Original review: For over three years, I've been on a quest. ([...]) I have 800+ 1 page PDF files that I've been looking for an easy way to access on something like an eBook reader, No eBook reader has come close. The primary reason is that none allow a reader to create a personalized directory structure, so everything gets effectively thrown into a single folder--not to mention that the earliest models were slow as molasses and buffered button pushes so that pushes made in frustration often carried you past your hoped for destination. However, hope springs eternal and my spirits were/are buoyed by the flood of tablet computers entering the market. I thought about a netvertible because a tablet PC would let me read my PDFs on a flat screen and I could combine my PDF reader with my netbook. I even ordered a ASUS Eee PC T101MT-BU27-BK 10.1-Inch Convertible Tablet (Black) only to return it, unopened, when I realized that things were getting out of hand because I really didn't want to spend that much money, because of the weight, and because I'm still quite happy with my current netbook ASUS Eee PC 1008HA Seashell 10.1-Inch Pearl Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life. Here's the deal with Android tablets: Your life will be much simpler if you get one with Android Market installed, like this one. Android Market is what gives you access to the reputed 100,000 apps available for smartphones. However, Google does not currently license Android Market to devices without some form of cell phone capability. (This unit satisfies the demand by providing for owners to purchase a dongle from their cell providers.) Go into Google or go on YouTube and you'll find work arounds that will allow you to install Android Market on many devices. I'm capable, but you know what? I buy technology so that *it* can support *me*, not so that *I* can support *it*. Without access to Android Market, you are either surfing the web on your own looking for "APK files" or using a corner-deli type of app store set up by the device manufacturer. This may change with future releases of Android, but it's not certain when this will happen, if indeed it does. Thanks to the Android operating system, this device comes close to satisfying my needs. When I plug it into my PC, it appears as a USB drive, so I can create directory structures and transfer files (PDFs and mp3s in my case) to my heart's content. I'll often use it in dim lighting conditions, so the approx 10 hour battery life in exchange for a lit screen is a welcomed trade-off for me. The only question was whether to get a 10" tablet or a 7" unit like this. 10" tablets with Android Market typically sell at twice the price of this unit and it's clear that prices will be plummeting as the year progresses and more units flood the marketplace. (You can even buy them in drug stores!) Since this was an experiment of sorts (although, I knew it would work having experimented with putting the PSFs on my Smartphone!), I figured I'd be cheap an order a 7" unit from a seller who's good about returns and wouldn't be too upset if I did return the unit since I spend lots of money with them. I thought the chances were great that I'd be returning the unit, but lo and behold, I'm kind of fond of it. Whatever else it is, it's a wireless computer--just the sort of thing to play with while watching tv or stuck waiting with WiFi available. I...

The online reviews seemed decent and so I thought I would give it a try. This is my first tablet, and also my first Android device, and so it has taken me a little while to figure a few things out but overall I'm happy with my purchase.Pros: I have installed both the Nook and Kindle apps and so in one sense I have the best of both worlds. I am able to purchase (or find the free books on either) both without being limited to one or the other. The keyboard is fairly sensitive, and I don't have to correct too many mistypes. A big advantage this tablet has over a lot of other (not connected to expensive data plan) tablets is that the eGlide has access to the Android Market. Some tablets I looked at were limited to whatever apps that were designed for that specific device, whereas this tablet has access to literally thousands of apps. I tested out a decent quality video I had (MP4)and the quality was decent. It's definatly not up to par with my HDTV or 1080P computer monitor, but its better than standard TV quality I would say. Cons: The battery life seems a little shorter than I had hoped/expected. If I am connected to wifi and using the tab I might be able to get 1.5-2 hours out of the battery. With the wifi off, and with normal use (a mixture of using the e-reader, playing a game or two and just tinkering around) I might get an hour longer (up to 3 hrs). In addition, if you run the tablet for a while, and are opening and closing programs, I find that programs become a little sluggish. When I've experienced this I usually just shut the tablet all the way down and after a restart it's back to its normal speed. The camera is extremely low quality (but I knew that going in--so it wasn't a surprise). I haven't tried the headphone jack, but the built in speaker is about what you'd expect from a cell phone like speaker. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. I am a grad student and was looking for an e-reader to take along with me and read the growing number of papers that otherwise I would have had to print off. This works great for reading the papers (mostly PDFs) and also has a lot of cool apps that help me with my studies. I am a seminary student, and so a few of the apps that I have really found to be handy are related to studying the Bible. Olive Tree has an OK Bible reader in which you can purchase (fairly inexpensive) Bible's with Strong's Concordance. This has come in handy for looking up the Greek and Hebrew words. Otherwise, I have found YouVersion's Bible reader to be the best around. YouVersion offers a number of recent Bible translations (NIV, NASB, NLT, etc) as free downloads. With Olive Tree the Bible's, other than maybe KJV and a couple other public domain translations, all cost ten to twenty dollars. As far as games go, my son likes the "find it Disney" app, and the "pinball deluxe" which are both free. 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful  I kind of like it, By ladylex "bm265" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Ematic eGlide 7-Inch Touch Screen Tablet with Android 2.1 - Black (Electronics) I've only had this tablet for 5 days at this time, but I really like it. The touch screen is the resistive type but it is more responsive than some of the other 7 inch tablets I've tried (and sent back). It can be inaccurate at times though (which is one reason I'm not giving this product 5 stars). I'm trying to determine the battery life;I believe the manual states it will last 6 hours. It does seem like that will be about right, which isn't great by most people's standards but isn't bad for me. This tablet does charge slowly though. It took about 9 hours to fully charge, where some of the other tablets I've had in the past few months only took 3 or 4 hours. This tablet has a trackball built in, which something different. It enables you to scroll around. The processor is supposed to be dual core, with 256 MB of RAM, and 4 GB of internal memory. There is an HDMI connection on the bottom, but I haven't used that. There is a USB port on the bottom as well as the microSD (TF) slot.The home page seems to work only in landscape mode, but that's okay with me too. The web browser will work in either landscape or portrait mode, and the ebook reader app works both ways too.I'm not really familiar with the Android operating system or the apps store. I'm thinking this does give access to the Android app store without having to hack (or root) this tablet. I could be wrong though. I like some of the apps that came with it, like the youtube player and the aldiko ebook reader. I haven't had to contact customer support, so I can't say how good or bad that is. I hope I won't have to contact them,of course. I didn't buy this tablet off amazon.com, but it is available through other sellers, obviously. I would probably give this tablet 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. I will edit this review if I have problems with it other than the touch screen sometimes being a bit quirky.I still recommend this tablet even with that flaw, and I'm usually very picky about products working properly. I've had this product about 6 weeks now. The flaw in the touch screen is more annoying than it was in the first several days I had this product.The touch screen gives an inaccurate response perhaps 20% of the time,maybe even a bit more. Thus I am knocking my review down to 3 stars. I have been able to download ebooks from Barnes & Noble's website to work on this tablet. I have gotten free ebooks from amazon.com to work on this tablet; I guess that has to do with DRM rights. UPDATE: 4.30.11 This tablet started crashing constantly today, mostly an error message about android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. It is making the tablet useless, since it is crashing constantly. It didn't do this until I tried to download the amazon.com application, so I'm suspicious if there is some flaw with that. (I wanted to see how the app store here compared with the regular android app store). I never got the amazon app to download though; I tried running a virus scan on the ematic but nothing showed up. I don't have much knowledge about android, and some google searches for help with this problem have been unsuccessful so far. The problem is probably more with android 2.1 than the tablet itself, but I'm still pretty disgusted. And pressing the reset button doesn't fix it either. If anyone knows what can be done let me know. |
