    Value Starter Reader/Tablet.

    It Does what it was intended for, That's it. Great Value. Basic Reader +. Can be used for the internet but a little bit slow. Resistive Touchscreen. Can download some Android Apps but not to many. Great way to start off with a Reader-Tablet.

    Buyer Beware - stuck at Android 2.0

    Fair warning, Cruz has left a lot of us early buyers stuck at Android 2.0 with no plans for an upgrade. This means you will not be able to run flash on this device which is a problem when accessing many websites.
