First line : after much searching this is the cheapest 10inch pad available in market excluding the cheaper pads from China
Hardware :
Good build, solid feel, a little on the heavy side especially for me as i primarily use it to read books, and documents.
Adequate ports, could really use a USB Host though will really expand the Capacity.
1Ghz processor claimed but is slow to respond sometimes, specially if you have more than 4 tasks running together, and RAM is not enough.
Have’nt played any games though.
Screen brightness is good enough so is the resolution for books, slightly grainy for videos. Colors are faded.
Sound is good, as usual for creative (long time user of their sound blaster series on my home built systems.
Battery life for document reading and playing music together lasted me 6 hrs.
Software
Here is the catch, no Android Market…
You could download .apk files for the app that you want and install, that would be ok if you are not going to use it for more than reading books, the occasional movie, and listening to music.But not is if you are the type who wants to play around with every app you see on your android mobile while surfing the Market. Creative’s own app site had very limited options.
The rest of the operating environment is from the Froyo 2.2 you can read about it anywhere on the web.
As for surfing I tether it to my HTC Incredible S with 3G and the speed is good.
Bottom line : Like I said Good for reading books, the occasional movie, definitely can browse well with a 3G connection and tethering. Not if you are looking for a dedicated movie playing machine, possibly will be slow with games too (not checked).
