I personally wouldn't recommend this tablet to a parent looking to get one for their child.

Far too slow and would annoy me. 4gb of space would not last five minutes.

The trouble is with these cheap tablets is that people buy them, get all upset when it won't do what they want it to do, IMHO people will do more than they think with a tablet after actually getting it. They then form a negative opinion on the use of tablets, and go around saying that they've tried a tablet and felt it didn't offer the experience they were after.
The gadget show did a tablet review the other day and Alex Polosi (sp) downgraded the Kindle Fire as it didn't have as many apps as the Nexus. I think that was unfair as anyone who knows about tablets, will know that the Kindle has it's own store and Google play store can be side loaded. If they don't know, they probably aren't going to miss the Play store anyway. |

The Gadget Show is aimed at the mainstream public who will barely know what Android/iOS etc is let alone there being different stores only certain ones can get at. I think it's worth while mentioning that in the review and marking it accordingly. |

If some parent out there who is short of a few bob were to buy one of those for their kid for Christmas, I guarantee it would bring more grief than if the kid had no tablet at all.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend going any lower than a Tesco Hudl, Archos or Versus tablet. |

If people can scrape £70 together, Maplin have new Versus tablets http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/versus-tou...et-black-a63lk Either of these would be better options, IMHO, but I'm prepared to be proved wrong if this tablet gets fantastic reviews....... |

After watching this video, it actually doesn't appear as the rubbish I expected for £30. How long it will last for is anybody's guess

This device could be a good thing to claim having when the fake "Microsoft" scammers ring up from India.

Some people can't afford more than £30.
I love my gadgets and gizmo's, whether its i7 PC's and laptop or Cheap 10" android tablet and my Surface Pro, I'm a silver surfer geek and its one of my hobbies ![]() The android tablet is fine as a media player and for basic browsing/youtube/email. Why did I buy it? For fun and I could afford it (and the Surface Pro). Does it 'do the job'? sure it does, its not fast and slick but if push came to shove I could get by on it and I'm sure others will manage just fine on the £30 tablet. I've got a Hudl too

Where can you actually buy it ? Lots of stuff about it, but they don't tell you where to buy it.

Maybe the should consider not buying a tablet if that is all they can afford and prioritise more important things?

You dont need to see reviews of it, I have a cheapo china tablet with the same cpu and amount of ram 512mb and it is a very frustrating experience even doing the simplest tasks such as browsing a website, what happens is even if you are patient person, you press a button nothing happens so you press it again and wait a few seconds then press a diffrent button and everything gets bogged down while it tries to execute all these queued commands and steam starts coming out of years, waste of money.

Or maybe people have prioritised "more important things" and simply have a sum of money to spend on a tablet ?

These £30 tablets will put a smile on a lot of faces, young and old. |

Tattoos for poor people. Lol. My tatts cost more than most top end tablets / phones . Oh and I know of plenty high earners who purchase stuff from the shops you mention. And just to add I am posting this on a cheap HUAWEI phone.
Personally I really don't like tattoos on men or women although I admire some of the artwork and the skill involved in creating them. One of my (male) nurses spent thousands of pounds on tattoos and they were 'living art'; he did the right thing though in keeping his tattoos away from open sight when wearing uniform. The 'Walt Disney family' of cartoon characters on his back were stunning. I'm a high earner and still shop in Lidl from time to time (good fruit and veg) and pick up the occasional bargain from Poundland. |
