not bad... Probably most due to screen separation... Tho you are going to wish you spent the extra 100 for 32GB. I have 16 and still not enough. Good for a kid tho.

Great tablet as long as you are LOW key user and can live with the memory limitations. The tablet gets really slow if you use up all but 1 gig. Mine does. So, I assume the 8 gig will too.

Wow what's the story here??? Why have I been paying 30+ dollars for a color cartridge???

It's been ages since I've been around AnandTech. It's good to see that the Hot Deals is still A1.

I'll be ordering from this place.

:)

so is that issue fixed with the refurbs? or is it basically a patch-as-you-go issue?

I would just look on craigslist. I got a literally brand new 16g for $150 a few weeks back.

yeah its definitely not a "steal" I didn't even notice the 8gb when I ordered one... I didn't realize there was less than a 16gb model available... whoops. However, I'm planning on using it as an e-reader so I think it will be fine.

They are still a lot more $$ on CL around the Chicago area. The screen is beautiful on mine. 8gb works for what I need it for....

Hey Cardiac, how much free space is left on the device with the latest software update?

Around here they were listed on CL for more also, just need to negoiate some.

I do like it though, and will flip this one and get a new one when the next model is released.

After it updated, and with most of my crap loaded on it, I have 5.26gb free.... Plenty for me. I don't have any of my mp3's on it, nor movies. I'm happy. And it is rooted, too. Stock ROM for now...
