Look at what I just found at Tiger Direct. I've used them for my Flips and never got a bad deal from them.

I can afford this. So if I get it and I take it out of the box, do I have to do ANYTHING? It comes with built in wi fi so if I am near a wi fi hot spot, I just touch the screen and I'll be on the internet. And I gather it comes with a virtual keyboard so I just type the url of where i want to go and I'll get there.

So here is my next question. If I want to come to Neurotalks, or another forum, I go there, and then there's an option to put an icon on the front of the screen. Everything is touch with these tablets. I know nothing about them, but I CAN learn. At least I think I can. For this price, I'll experiment.

I wish I could find a tutorial that would guide me from the beginning on how one uses a tablet.

Thanks much

Melody

Keep in mind, its only a 7" screen...thats a reason for the low price...most tablets are 10" and MUCH easier to use and view websites on....

That's just fine with me. I will only use it when I can't go on my regular computer. This is just to check email and forums and stuff.

And I can put it in my purse.

And the price is right. As soon as I can view a tutorial on how tablets work, I just might get one. Maybe not THIS one, but SOME one!!! lol

Thanks Much

Melody

Its on sale right now for 24 hours.....$59....

So once I learn how to use this thing, I can get my verizon email, come on these forums, go on youtube, go on hulu, watch videos, etc. etc.

I can do that?? for $59.00??? Seriously??

Melody

Seriously! Yes, you can. Its an Android based tablet, essentially a big cell phone, so it uses any wifi connection (secure or public) and it pretty much does everything a laptop can do...and you can access your Verizon online mail.....

You can even make calls if you get Skype

I think I might grab one too at that price, just for giggles.

THANK YOU MUCH!!!!!!

Love ya.

Even if I don't know what I'm doing, I can practice on this thing.

I LOVE to learn.

You're a doll

I just checked the reviews on this thing (people who bought it from Tiger Direct). Some liked it, some said it did not work, you can't use the Google browser, some LOVED it, said it worked just fine after being charged up. Some returned it.

As these are refurbished items, I guess it's hit or miss. Thankfully one can return it if it doesn't work. I have purchased items from Tiger Direct (with no problem whatsoever). So I hope I can figure this little gem out. I just want to learn how to use a tablet.

Melody

Look what I just found!!!

Melody.
P.S. I'm trying to figure out how to download this PDF to my computer. Oh, this is so fun. Even if I don't know what I'm doing, my brain is FUNCTIONING!!!

LOL...you sound like you are having too much fun already.....dont forget that most review sites are only going to showcase the BAD reviews....so dont let that sway ya too much.

I looked over the reviews too, but at that price, and if its returnable, its still a good gamble just for the learning curve....

Thats good about the neighbours too, that thing wont take much bandwidth and they wont even notice!

Enjoy!

I will let you know if I grab one, I am on my way to Bestbuy in a few minutes to but a new TV for work, and I am going to play with a couple of the tablets while I am there......
