First off, the Ployer Momo8 IPS (I specify that because I think there are different models) has arrived without problems (was kept fully informed via a DHL tracking number - I used Chinistore) and I must admit I am very pleastantly surprised.
It only cost me £99, yet it is as zippy and easy to use as an iPad (I briefly had a gen 1 iPad). At the price, I wasn't expecting the earth - and certainly not a tablet to compare with the iPad - but apart from the obvious - IOS connection to iTunes etc and the differences between IOS and Android - there is nothing whatsoever to upset me. And given that all I want it for is to surf the net, read newspapers, use Skype and watch iPlayer, I feel as though I have saved myself more than £200 by not opting for an iPad.
I got the 8in version - Momo8 might be the clue - but I have no reason to believe that the 7in and 10in are any different. There are most certainly inferior Android tabs out there purporting to rival the iPad - Yarvik, Arnova, Storage Solutions, the list could sadly go on for quite some time - but the Ployer Momo8 is most certainly not inferior, and I can strongly recommend it.
If you buy, take care where from - Chinistore are very good it seems, others not quite so - and research the different Momo8 models as I do think there are differences between them, crucial differences, apparently, and the IPS is - I think - a newer model. There are also reports of a weak wifi connection. I haven't found that, but then I have only so far used it on the work's wifi. Incidentally, it is running Androud 4.1.1.
My question about the iPlayer is that the version I use on my smartphone (4.0.3) allows me to watch live TV and listen to live radio apart from the rest. But the version I have downloaded onto the tablet doesn't seem to offer the facility to watch live TV. Am I missing something?
