Huawei Ideos Tablet S 7 come with cheap price for their customers. It's a resistive screen, not a capacitive one. Which sort of works, but will drive you crazy. And surely the whole point of a tablet is that you use your fingers?
Styluses, should be and implements of history.
Every tech company and its dog is churning out tablets at the moment and the range is baffling. What this means is that some poor unsuspecting tablet-shopper who doesn't have enough money for an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy might think that this tablet, which you can find online is a viable alternative.
Save up for an iPad, the Galaxy or the upcoming Motorola Xoom, which will run Honeycomb, the version of Android properly optimised for tablets. The size it's seven inches, which fits neatly into the hands. But it feels heavy and not particularly portable: at 500 grammes, it's weightier than the Galaxy (380 grammes), and not a lot lighter than the bigger iPad (730 grammes). One of the reasons the price is so low is that there's no onboard storage you have to add a Micro SD card to take pictures or even to read the user manual, as the app to launch it, Documents to Go, requires that SD card. It's an Android tab, but it's only running 2.1, so there's no Flash.
Connectivity-wise, it's ok, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and there's space for a sim card too, but it struggled to hold on to my home Wi-Fi network. It's not cheap and cheerful, it's cheap and a bit nasty.
