CNM 7 Touchpad
GB-UK

Just got one of these from Argos and like it a lot apart from not having Google Play installed.
I've tried installing the APK file which installs fine and works but as soon as you try to update apps or install them I get the message "Google Play has stopped responding". Then every time I try to use the app the message appears.
Any idea's on how to install Google play?
The apps store it comes with has many of the apps I wanted and the Amazon Apps store also works fine, so not short on apps. Just wanted the convenience of accessing my paid for apps from google.

I think normally to get Google Play the ROM which the tablet has needs to have it supported – very surprised that Argos are selling one that does not have Google Play on it. To be honest I would be tempted to return it and get something else…you can get a better tablet for the money that will come with Google Play – something like this:
