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. |

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

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...... |

I'll know within one day if I can get this thing to do ANYTHING. I feel like I did when I got my first VCR 30 years ago, and I had to get my neighbor to come into my house and show me how to program the stupid clock (never mind program the vcr to tape a show). I looked at her while she was pressing buttons (don't forget this was 30 YEARS AGO), and i told her "I can NEVER learn to do this" Look what I can do NOW!!!! HOW FUN!!! Melody P.S. I think it's all the Methyl B-12 I take and I eat wild samon and avocados. My brain WORKS!! lol
