A great device for the money. I ordered a tablet on may 16th and
Received it on may 23rd in new jersey. It is a lightweight devices that does what
You would expect from a tablet: accessing programs, playing videos and audio,
Accessing the internet and looking cool in your hands. It does have its downfalls
Where: you are not able to access the android market unless you reset the device
(which deletes all your installed apps and settings) and last for only a few
Minutes, android market does not offer support this tablet, unable to install a
Number of android 1.4 to 2.2 apps, no on-board USB slot (have to connect USB
Drives to an adapter), very low speakers, resistive screen can be a pain, the
Tablet may freeze for a while when your emails are syncing (can be fixed by
Unchecking autosync), contains flash player evaluation copy (if you upgrade to
Flash player 10.1, your browser will constantly crash and without, you will
Constantly get a prompt that you have an evaluation copy when you access a
Flash website), no video chat support, no QR code reader works on device, only
Some MKV files work properly and you cannot upgrade to android 2.3 or 3.0.
Although, it has these downfalls it still has a lot of potential with: amazon and
Slideme market. Both are free and can be used to get free apps, great battery life
(with wifi on you can get 3 to 4 hours, with wifi off you can get over 5 hours with
Ease), dynamic weather desktop backgrounds, 5 desktop backgrounds (3rd set
As default), 2 usb ports through adapter, winamp app, factory reset re-installs all
Pre-installed apps if you remove one in error, 3.5 mm earphone port, rotating
Screen and the weight is great for you to carry around with ease. All in all, not a
Bad buy for $79 bucks but it could be better.
I finally got received my ‘official’ Malata ZPAD Dock today and wanted to post for all to see. PLEASE BARE WITH ME on my review, the pics aren’t that great and I didn’t run a bunch of tests but I have most of the basic info that everyone is going to want to know. Feel free to ask questions and I will try to run additional tests for you. DOCK - HDMI Out, USB, LAN and power (no additional ac adapter supplied) – The quality is nice. The bottom of the dock has a rubber insert as to not scratch a table if moved around and as you may see from the pic there is a rubber insert where the tablet itself sits to protect it. The tab just drops on; pretty simple. With the ac adapter plugged in the tab does show that it’s charging. It sits at a rather upright angle (not straight up and down) so I would think that it’s something that you would NOT want to try type on without a keyboard on a regular basis, but it does seem pretty steady on there. USB – As you can tell from the pic it did recognize an 8 GB USB thumb drive that I had plugged into it. I did not get to test a USB keyboard and mouse as the ones that I have available didn’t work natively with the tablet so I didn’t even try with the dock (yet). LAN – Also in a pic, once plugged in the connection lights on the back started lighting up immediately. I turned off my WiFi and enabled the Ethernet in setting and it quickly got an IP and as you can see there is no longer an ‘x’ on the tablet LAN icon. I DID test the internet and all worked just fine. HDMI – plugged the HDMI in and hooked it up to a 32” and it popped right up. NOW the quality was grainy and I’m sure there may be a way to fix that but I just wanted to get you pics to show whether it worked or not. In the pics you can see my screen duplicated and I started a movie (which I will say the quality was much better in the movie that it replicating my home screens) All in all… I am extremely pleased and can’t wait to put it to use. The only KNOWN issue is that you have to have the gTab OFF when you put in on the dock to get the LAN to work (something about it obtaining DNS settings that the Dev's haven't worked through as of yet) Let me know what you think!
