Dead thread arisen'. And replying to my own post. How gauche.
I have the Ubislate 7ci. I bought it about a 1.5 years ago. And it turns out if you buy a cheap tablet, you let it sit for awhile. Stats:
Screen size (inches) 7.00
Resolution 800x400 pixels
Processor 1GHz
RAM 512MB
Internal storage 4GB
Expandable storage Yes
Expandable storage type microSD
Expandable storage up to (GB) 32
Front camera 0.3-megapixel
Operating System Android 4.0
Wi-Fi Yes
Headphones 3.5mm
Accelerometer Yes
Once I got mine up and running, I find that it functions OK. It serves as a decent ebook reader using the Kindle Android app. The existing MP3 player is adequate, but a little tinny. The existing PDF reader is poor, but it shows the colors of my PDFs OK. Video quality is decent; it plays youtube and other videos well enough to enterain my monkeys. Wireless speed is decent.
Battery life is terrible, so it's always plugged into charge. It's a dual tasker; any more apps, and it gets cranky.
Mine's survived two falls on the ice. The case is really loose now, the power buttons fell out on the last fall, and the wallcharging plug did too. But I've taped the case together and the USB charger still works.
For $38, I'm pleased. I'll probably upgrade a model in awhile. This one will become the gaming reward for the monkeys.
