- Good points:
-
Quality of build and value for money absolutely extraordinary.
Mini HDMi port built in as standard.
Quality of graphics again stunning.
Can add extra microSD storage unlike Crapple's iPad although their menu slightly more intuitive but at a 3 times price premium. - Bad points:
-
Proprietary power/ usb port needing 2 pigtails (supplied) for standard male /female USB ports. Would have been nice to have a mini or micro usb port as standard.
Android 3.1 rather than 4 but old stock.
List price would have been too unattractive but deal made buying the K1 irrestible despite being a discontinued product.

- Good points:
- Great value for money and much lighter than some of the compeitors. Surfing is very fast and it is an excellent device as an entry to the tablet environment. It has done everything we have expected of it. THe camera is a great feature and set up is very straightforward and fast.
- Bad points:
- There are not any!

Score 9.0/10Good display adjustment range
Handy overall format/design
Good connectivity, incl. HDMI
USB host
Upgrading the OS is non-trivial, but worth it.
The original OS a bit shaky, compatibility or stability problems for a number of applications
