    personally i wouldn't buy it, it has a picture of android 4.0 but in the spec it says 2.3, this version was never designed for tablets. I had one similar to this and didn't last with me the fact it felt like holding a big phone :)

    False economy, IMO. It's just not a good device on any level.

    Heavily skinned Homescreen. Limited or no Market access. I seem to recall Powercity having these for a while. They didn't look too impressive. The Homescreen icons were quite tacky.

    Prestigio were using Archos rebadges\licensed hardware at one point. I'd say this is a rebadge of something similar.

    Hi,I bought one in July,2012. through "living social" at 129 euro+ postage 4.50 euro. Waited a month for delivery. powered it up and waited hours for it to fully charge up. Looked good at first, easy to get into different apps. browse the net etc. When I was finished I powered it down and the next evening started it up but was instructed to plug in power supply. Battery level had dropped to 1%, so i decided to keep an eye on this over the next few days. I would leave unit powered on until fully charged before powering down. I was not happy with this situation so I sent an e-mail to Prestigio ,they gave me a ticket no. and a name of a courier to contact ,who would collect unit to be repaired. I contacted courier and got no reply,left message and phone no. still no reply. Sent Prestigio another e-mail,no reply. 1 month later, sent Prestigio a third e-mail and suggested I deliver unit to repair depot as I live in the area. Got reply to go ahead,which I did. On 24/9/2012 I handed over unit to be repaired, new battery and updated firmware was the report result. I collected unit on 2/10/2012. I brought it home ,battery was flat, waited for six hours before it was fully charged,worked on it for some time,seemed fine. Left charger plugged on, and powered off before going to bed,unit fully charged. The next day I turned it on about mid day and to my dismay only 12% battery life again. I had to plug in charger once more. I phoned the repair centre and explained what was happening and was told that I must have put it into sleep mode, which would run down the battery.I know I shut it down properly but said I would get back to him if I had the same problem in the morning. I know I will have to ring him again tomorrow.
    MY ADVICE TO ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING ONE OF THESE IS TO STAY CLEAR AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE .
