4:3 screen ratio?

No sales tax for everyone, except Florida.

1280x800 but its a TN panel

Rarely you see a tablet screen that bad like this one. Just see it in your local BB.

Office Depot = free shipping. Link thru Discover Card and save 5% + 5% so net around $180 + tax. Not bad.

I read some of the reviews for this tablet. The biggest complaints seem to be the screen, mainly the poor viewing angle.

Quote from sdfan567 : form factor does seem unusual. and the FF looks different between the two pictures with the posting. can someone who has it or seen it comment? update: I looked at specs on BB site and it says 7.6"x 4.8"

With tablets, there are three major sizes: 7", 9.7", and 10.1". Often times, generic cases and other accessories are difficult to come by if you are not in one of those categories. I would imagine since this is not a very popular tablet, accessories would come at a premium price unless found on clearance. I used to own a Toshiba Thrive and I was able to purchase a generic keyboard case which saved me ~$30 compared to the one made specifically for the Toshiba Thrive.

Reviews I've seen recommend the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 cases. Though from what I've seen on spec sheets this tablet is slightly thicker so it will probably be a tight fit depending on the case.

Personally, I was going to buy this tablet a few weeks ago for around $230. But I had to go to Best Buy to take a look at it. The screen really is terrible, very unforgiving on the viewing angles, colors wash out quite easily if not held just right. I would pay a little more money for something with a better screen.

The problem is with the screen. It uses a super cheap TN Panel. And even for 200$, this tablet with very good specs is horrible since you will not enjoy doing anything on it, cos of the screen. The whites looks like it has a green tint or something. Bad viewing angles, bad brightness and contrast. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this even if its for 200$.

Tried it on BB many times. The build is decent and specs are decent, but the screen is soo bad, is the main reason why it is being sold off this cheap. Most people realize what a mistake they made after they played with it for a couple of days, so HEADS UP.

aaaand its dead.

Quote from nabwong : Just to warn people, Lenovo is super slow in updating the OS. So do not expect to get Jelly Bean for a while or maybe they won't even update it.

The ones on Amazon say it comes with Ice Cream Sandwich.

Also, why are people so up-in-arms over the poor screen quality washing out when viewed from an angle? Who would watch a 9" tablet screen, from an angle, in the first place? I know if a small group were watching a movie they would have to, but in that case I'd rather watch on a real screen.

Full disclosure I am from Hawaii so everything takes forever to get to me and I have ordered many things from 1SD and always got them. BUT last Xmas I ordered a tablet from them around now.

I was concerned that I would get the tablet in time so when I saw a dea l on another site that was well known for faster shipments I contaced 1SD and tried to cancel. They took forever to get back to me So I ended up calling and and was told that they couldnt cancel because it had already shipped. 3-4 weeks later when I still had not recieved it I contaced them again and was told it hadnt been shipped yet. I have no idea when they actually shipped the product and apparently neither did they. But eventually I got the tablet the first week of Jan..

So be aware that customer service is incompetent and totally unsupportive

I think it is because of people like me that they no onger ship to Hawaii from their ebay store so the absolute most you will probably have to wait is 3-4 weeks, but good luck

Yes. It comes with ICS. I said forget about getting an update for Jelly bean from Lenovo for a long time
