I got this interesting product for Christmas today.

Me and my dad did a lot of research on this device with my dad last month I believe, of course I had no idea it was supposed to be for me.

We found out that it is apparently really popular in Europe (or at least it was)
It has multiple versions, there is one that would seem to be better, that is powered by windows, and is basically a PC you can hold in your hands.

As you can see this one is powered by Intel. (Probably not cuss that pic is blurry as heck)


Now this can have some benefits, but I don't really see much. I looked up some reviews and all seemed negative to the device.
It can sync to your email. But it a lil complicated because apparently people do it differently in Europe.
The language is a bit iffy sometimes because the default language on there was French.

The only good thing I can see to use this product for is the internet access.

fortunately it has a flash player, so I can access Stickpage, and watch animations and such (I haven't tried Youtube yet)
But a lot of things about the browser is inefficient. To decrease the volume you have to close the internet window and then open another application and then lower.

And its gonna be really difficult to use this "On the go" because it actually uses a sim card to get internet access, but not to call people. So in order to use the internet mobile, you would have to be in an unsecure network zone.


You can download Music on it I belief, but on a lot of the reviews I have seen they complained about the size on the device.
Apparently the internal memory is very low, and I think it accepts an SD card, so that may help.
On the one powered by Windows, you it is apparently very efficient in gaming. So far on mine I haven't seen any use in gaming on this.
It some times freezes when i'm browsing the forums, so gaming would be a whole different thing.


Things I will try is to download Teamveiwer on this, so I can at least access my computer in other places. And I will try also to see how the device fairs in flash games.


Overall I don't really like the thing too much. I would give it a 4/10. There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, ill try my best with it tho.
Please feel free too give suggestions, and opinions or whatever on this device, its very interesting and I really want to get the most out of it.

My big brother got a tablet so in comparison this is as good as nothing. lol.
