Android is the operating system, much like Microsoft windows is the operating system on PC's.

Must say its a brand I've not heard of before, can you post a link up to it.

Quite possible that you have purchased a WIFI only tablet, and as there is no 3G connectivity you won't have a sim card slot.

In the android market app search for Yahoo Messenger, they have an app to be downloaded for use with messenging services on yahoo.

So according to those auctions the device only has Wifi connectivity, you can't put a sim card in it to use mobile networks.

If you want mobile data I suggest the only option will be eith the Vodafone or 3 myfi devices that use the 3G networks to transmit a wifi signal.

How does it feel in terms of performance? It has a very slow cpu onboard. How is the video playback? Web browsing touch screen responsiveness etc.

I do have to say there is better out there for the money you paid.

Its a flytouch3 clone. It does not have built in 3g however with one of the custom ROM on the APAD site you may be able to get a 3g dongle working with it if you want internet while you are out and about.

Another option would be a mifi router or setting up a hotspot on your phone if it supports it.
