    Wouldnt buy anything for a site that cant even be bothered to put up decent photos, even DX are above that.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, CPU is slow for tablets, should be at least 1Ghz and it only says "Touch Screen" so probably resistive. Not a good buy IMO.

    Poor details on the specs too.
    2gb of ROM (pretty poor), but no mention of RAM. 512mb? 1gb?
    RAM has a serious impact on performance.
    Also 800MHZ is slow enough by today's standards.

    Also no mention of capacitive or resistive display (it just says "Touch Screen").
    Some details are very important.

    Looks identical to the Buyincoins Tablet a few months back for 48 euro delivered to you door - save for having silver rather than black trim, but even the box is the same. Mine was supposed to be the Via 800Mhz advertised but when it arrived it was actually a 1Ghz model, they're hit and miss as to what actual CPU you get depending on the batch. Has 256mb of ram and the 2GB internal can be either solid or a wired SD card, and the battery is very poor. At 50 euro it was a bargain, but 125 is absolutely not worth it. I'm selling mine as the moment on adverts for what I paid, and it is a grand piece for casual browsing/video watching/messing around, but the battery life makes it almost useless to carry around, more suited as a bedside/home accessory.

    i would say 256 MB with poor screen
    not worth more than €60-80

    if one want to spend ~125 for tablet that would be much better

    Reads on Nassau Street are selling Android 2.3 7" capacitive screen tablets at the moment for €99

    I haven't checked the specs but may be of interest to some

    A word of caution for anyone importing tablets from the likes of buyincoins; Irish Customs are stopping, although not always seizing, alot of tablets for as long as it takes for them to ascertain if said tablets breach "Apple patents"

    We had one stopped a few weeks ago which was held for a week before being released, missing the birthday it was a present for and costing us over €20 in admin and VAT/duty
