I just got one of those from DealExtreme. Not ready to make a final judgement just yet but not excessively impressed so far.
It is running android 1.6, no clear indication at this stage if it is possible to upgrade it.
Wifi was working briefly then it seemed to start rebooting whenever a wifi connection was established, may be a config issue, need time to sort that out.
Eth connection fails to make a DHCP connection, got it working after typing in gateway, DNS etc myself.
Android Market appears to think it is working, but after registering an account I get to the download stage and it freezes. Cleared cache and tried every stoopid solution I could find from only about an hour of googling and reading. Hopefully I will find a more useful help site after I get more time to investigate this.
Downloaded a free PDF reader and managed to get reasonable access to a ebook, which is the main reason I got this thing. Would like to see a better PDF reader with useful navigation interface, but I will have to use a freebie until I can find a way to use the market thing.
So how is the uninformed user supposed to know if a product can actually use Android Market before buying? Ok I didn't have high expectations from ordering a cheapie from a foreign country, but this seems just a little bit ermm.. under tested? ill prepared? Or is it the Google software at fault? Really, I don't understand why it would freeze and offer no suggestion whatsoever on how to diagnose what went wrong; if the product is not licensed with Google or whatever, then why put me thru the process of registering, offer a bunch of products, then simply freeze once I actually decide to buy one? If the app has filled it cache or whatever, why the hell wouldn't you write software that detects this condition and warns first?
Seriously, Google software? WTF?
Oh, and as for purchasing stuff from DealExtreme... good service but it looked like the screen on this thing had been rubbed around on a dirty floor. No protective removable film over the screen, it was scratched to bejaysus and looked seriously second hand. Not likely to be a repeat customer.
