Well you generally only get what you pay for. It looks like a cheap tablet from a no name manufacturer so I wouldn't be surprised if it was fairly shoddy. It's running an outdated version of android that's only made for phones not tablets.

A newer honeycomb android tablet from one of the big reliable manufacturers would be a reasonable alternative, but at the price probably not as good as iPad 2.

If you must get a cheap tablet, then something from archos, creative etc would be reasonable, or I've heard the advent tablet is reasonable as well.
